I could not locate this place for a few minutes as I arrived on my first night but discovered it was down the winding road on Yanonnall St from US-101 South. This was the only affordable place; yet, the location and the staff were excellent. The parking was good. It is walkable to Stearn's Wharf/Pier and extremely close to State St (the main drag). Approximately, a ten-minute walk to the nearest convenience stores. I visited the Pres. Reagan Ranch Museum- a short walk. I drove to Carpinteria (under 10 miles) for a surf lesson- no problem. In the late afternoon/evenings, I would briefly sit on the lounge chair outside for a little rest. I also used my PC inside near the front desk. On my first night, I purchased a locker from the front desk to store my backpack that stored my PC. One negative- the Men's Room running water pressure was slow & one of the faucets did not work. I recommend this place for a serene weekend!

I was surprised to end up in a dormitory instead of a single room but figured out I had clicked the wrong button on expedia using my mobile. The mobile app does not define pages that well is what I feel.

Safe and worth staying at
This was my first time ever staying at a hostel, and well, I don’t think I could have picked a better one! This hostel was modern, clean, conveniently located, and best of all, we had free grilled hamburgers on Saturday evening after 7 PM! The staff was fantastic. And I was fortunate to get a clientele of other trustworthy people. The mens room had four showers and two bathroom stalls. My understanding was that they had one dorm room for men, one for women, and one mixed room. This did not bother me. I was surprised that any hostel would get a rating over 9 on Hotels.com, and well, this one earned it!
