GreatStayed with partner
We stayed in one of the private bedrooms for 1 night. We were supposed to share a bathroom, but we had it to ourselves as we didn't have neighbors on the same floor. Billie was very nice and her family was also friendly.

Billie makes a pot of coffee every morning for guests. Little Owl Café, a very short walk away, offers breakfast and lunch options. The common area is very cute and cozy. I stayed in the private twin room, which has its own lock.

Below averageSolo stay
Stayed in a large multi-bed room, as it is a hostel. The bunk beds were very creaky. Bathroom upstairs was pretty cramped and didn't seem to get cleaned the multiple days I was there. Pillows are flat, sheets and quilt were clean and comfy. Entry room has zero heating and door handle/lock was frozen, which is rough since you are asked to remove your shoes before entering. Great coffee shop walking distance, but not much else.
Coffee is in the frozen room, consistently smelled burnt so I did not partake. When staff did come to "clean", she did it in her pajamas and just changed out trash, nothing else. She also did it early in the morning when everyone in the room was trying to sleep. Downstairs has a much larger bathroom. Kitchen and dining area are sufficient. Chairs in "living room" were very sunken in and uncomfortable. There is a tv, but one guest kept it on conservative news shows me entire stay and hid and slept with the remote. Lastly, I had some canned drinks by my bed and one or two of them were stolen. Another guest had some of her food stolen out of the shared fridge.
Not sure if all this is par for the course for American hostels, but I was not impressed. Would definitely not stay here again.
