We did not stay there because the room was not what we were promised, the smell was overwhelming and the room was filthy dirty. Why were we charged for the room when we did not stay there? When will we get our deposit and room stay credited to my account? close

The rooms next to the entrance are really noisy. Everything happing at the entrance will be heard loud and clear (check-in, people with luggage, the staff talking, etc). Apart from that, it's a very quiet hostal. close

The hostel is in a good location close to restaurants, and a Walmart. Pubic tranport is only two blocks away. For a one night stay, which was all that we wanted, the price was right for what we got. close

There is a man who apparently stays there all the time, who claims to know the owners and "work" for them. He constantly walks around telling people to be quiet, turning down the tv without asking those who are watching, and telling people to pick things up and put them away. He seems to be somewhat mentally unstable, and his presence makes staying in this hostel unpleasant. He is the reason I rate Staff as Very Poor, the actual manager and his wife or girlfriend are very very nice people. close

Good value, not fancy but reasonably clean and friendly.

Bucause it was a new hostel there was not much color and puzaz that I am used to, felt tierd, like hostels that make you wont to be creative and alive with the difrent them rooms and so on. close

It's fairly loud in the male hostel room, as this has big windows out on to a busy street. The one shower available to two hostel rooms and at least a few non-ensuite hotel rooms is often insufficient. Their social politics are excellent, though. close

I booked this place off of your website with the belief that you would have quality places, I was extremely wrong in this case. I unfortunately did not see the rating on the Bent Prop Inn until after the experience was over. Through talking to locals I found out this was not a good part of town and I can admit I felt uncomfortable when I drove up. I paid upfront like told to but really should have checked out the room first. I had a very hard time locking the door to the room because the cover plate wasn't screwed in and after inspection found that it couldn't be screwed in. There was urine in the toliet which made the entire place stink. I had read on the site that it came complete with linens but found no towels in the room and only the bottom sheet on the bed with a very small blanket. At the time of my visit the nighttime temp. were in the upper 40's -low 50's, a small blanket would not have been adequate. Between the awful smell and being uncomfortable about the lock I decided it was not in my best interest to remain the night. I ended up staying in a hotel and losing $100 on the Bent Prop Inn. If it weren't for the wonderful stay at the Talkeetna Hostel I don't know if I would risk a hostel again. close
