Hostels U.S.A. : the only comprehensive, unofficial, opinionated guide
Karr, Paul.
Adult Nonfiction 917.304 K
From Library Journal:
Though hostels have long been popular for young people and those traveling on a budget, this is the only guide of its type that rates the hostels it describes. Journalist Halper and Karr, a travel and environmental writer, have traveled extensively throughout the United States and parts of Canada to review hostels of all kinds. Basic facts provided for each include name, address, phone, rates, number of beds, affiliation, office hours, extras, and special features of the particular establishment. Sidebars suggest eateries and give insiders' tips, guests' comments, and ratings on safety, hospitality, and cleanliness. The authors are both experienced hostelers with a strong belief in the value of the unique experience that hostels have to offer. Though the designation of the "gestalt" of each hostel (e.g., "mellow yellow") is sometimes of dubious informational value, this directory successfully covers everything you might need to know to help you plan a satisfying hosteling vacation.‘Julia Stump, Voorheesville P.L., N.Y.
