The PAD 3 stars

Silverthorne

Situated in Silverthorne, 9.3 km from Frisco Historic Park, The PAD features accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a children's playground. Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking hostel has a hot tub and evening entertainment. A great hostel! The rooms are comfortable and clean, bathrooms are also clean and modern. The bar is a great spot to meet other travellers or even some locals with multiple other areas to sit and relax if you're not feeling as social. The hot tub was perfect after a long day of snowboarding! The bus stop is within walking distance and will take you to the ski resorts, too. I had a slight mishap with my check in but that was rectified and I can safely say I would recommend The Pad and will definitely stay next time I visit.

At the accommodation every room includes bed linen and towels. The front desk staff was a great face for the facility. All my encounters were positive and helpful. I felt welcomed and valued as a customer. -- Also, the configuration of the parking lot allowed me to park my car in such a manner as to make the bicycle on the back invisible to the road, allowing me to leave my bike on my car overnight without concern for it being stolen.

Hostel Fish 3 stars

Denver

An upscale hostel for travelers, Hostel Fish is located in Denver. A bar and restaurant are located on site.

Offering free WiFi, Hostel Fish offers colourfully decorated mixed and co-ed dormitory rooms. THE STAFF! Especially Mackenzie (staff and bartender extraordinaire!!) was just so awesome. Moa was also so lovely (tack så mycket!!) I arrived too early for check-in and they stored my backpack so I could go explore Denver. Same when my flight was delayed the last night I was in Denver even though I had already checked out. I loved the bar/common area; it gets very lively and incredibly fun. Met all kinds of wonderful and international people just hanging out there before exploring Denver during the day and at night before we all went out. I was in a 4 bed all-male room. Bought a lock but probably didn't even need it as the ppl in the room were super nice, not sketchy. My bunk was on the bottom and comfy, with outlets right there in bed so you can charge your phone and devices. Wi-fi was steady and fast. The kitchen is fully furnished with cooking stove, pots, pans, REAL utensils, spices, seasonings, big fridge. THE WORKS. That's miles above your average hostel already. There's a coffee pot made every morning for everyone and when it runs out you can just ask for more to be made (or make it yourself!). The kitchen area is also incredibly clean, which I love. Speaking of clean, the shared bathrooms are so nice and clean. Probably the best shared bath area I've ever come across at any hostel! The decor is incredibly bohemian and cool. There are cool little touches everywhere like old classic luggage as decorations. The location is great, a 5-10 min walk from almost everything (Downtown Denver, 7th Street Mall, etc.) and right around the corner is Larimer Street filled with bars/clubs. I had such a great time that when I got my first tattoos (Chakra Tattoo, THE BEST) I decided to incorporated a small fish to commemorate that it was during my stay at Hostel Fish (see pic lol). So yeah, you could say I couldn't recommend Hostel Fish anymore than possible. GO GO GO :)
