Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I must say that I was impressed by this backpacker. I usually dont like to stay in dorms, but because I needed to be at this specific location for not too expensive, it ended up to be the best option. Someone was there to assist me when I arrived and showed me where to park and where my room was. She took note of my request and did her best to meet it. I was close to an open window! We were only thee in the dorm, with a nice bedroom inside. The facility was clean - not too much the kitchen (but I guess it is guests' responsibility. It was comfortable, affordable and quiet.
Summary: Good backpacker in Wilderness
