Poor

  : Showers had ice cold or scalding hot water. Kitchen available but no bowls or dishes. People up making noise (fire alarms) late and early. Children honking car horns in parking lot until 11PM.
  : Staff was helpful

  : This is very much a European type hostel and seems to provide very reasonably priced accommodations for those who are into the hostel atmosphere. There is an eclectic vibe and that must be experienced to understand. I felt safe and I’d recommend booking onsite just so you can select your accommodation and get a feel for pricing etc. I could see this being a good transitional living space for someone trying to find a place to live.
  : I wish there was a way to convey that you actually are not guaranteed the room you reserve as it’s not paid for until you arrive. The sleeping arrangements were a bit tight and awkward as there is not much privacy even in a private room. The walls while tall are not connected to the ceiling and they are thin. This did make for a quiet atmosphere at night I just found it hard to relax when coming in at bar close. It’s easy for everyone to hear everything that is going on throughout the main house. I wish I’d had known about the price structure and the option to book directly as this would have been a great place to stay for a long visit as I’m sure it would be very interesting to meet the broad range of people staying and working here.

  : “breakfast” is just scavenging the eggs off the ground laid by the chickens on the property. the room barely fit more than a full bed. room wasn’t fully enclosed meaning you could hear everything including the people sleeping two feet from the bed right outside the door. As a woman, I did not feel safe here at all. The people staying in the place were extremely sketchy. When we got the room, the sheets were used. needless to say we didn't end up sleeping here and really only intended to use this place to store our luggage during the day. I would not sleep here.

Disappointing

  : Private room seemed unnecessary until the weekend when Crashpod filled up. Bus 2 to Palm Springs. Friday night the hostel filled the refrigerator with food for guests. Nearby store. Security was tight. I.appreciated Crashpod's authenticity of place in the desert, and not just staying in the center of town. Not having to make a choice,, the chance to stay at Crashpod seemed uniquely awesome.
  : Overcast. Crashpod seemed desolate when I arrived. Just a little too far and late to commute from my downtown meetings by bus, so on meeting night I stayed with people who booked a room at the Renaissance, a glam Palm.Springs experience..
