The location is very walkable. Just a few blocks from the Shore Walk and easy to get to major shops and restaurants, I found this hostel very conveniently located. I was glad to have the fast elevator with my heavy bag, and also have the ability to leave my luggage while I explored the city until I could check in. The privacy screen on my bed was great to have, especially as I was overwhelmed and exhausted, but yes, there's a lack of airflow with it down, unfortunately. Check out was the best-- I just walked out, which was soo great when you've airport-timing anxiety!
