The management has a good heart and the right spirit about hostelling (including a free burger and hot dog on Saturday night). The place is a tad dirty (bring flip flops), a tad disorganized (slow check-in, ran out of toilet paper), but the location is a pleasant walk from the downtown, and just across the street are a Thai restaurant,... more

Summary of my experience at the Hostel of the Rockies: Beware, Ramon the proprietor, is quite the lunatic. Upon arrival, I knocked on his door for registration.

This place was my lest favorite hostel in the US. It was pretty dirty, the rooms stank and there were pretty strange people staying there (people who spend there last dollars on a last night sleep before getting homeless). I didnt feel comfortable there, though the staff was ok more

The people - Chuck, Heidi, and all the guests are wonderful... I have never enjoyed staying ANYWHERE (I don't wish to brag BUT I usually stay in 4-5 star hotels) these guys and this location is THE BEST - if you want to experience a TRUE holiday with REAL people - AND have the BEST time of your life -... more
