The Wayfaring Buckeye Hostel

There was a power outage that affected my stay and I unfortunately had to leave. The owner gave me a full refund. I would definitely book if I were in the area again.

I booked a Single Room for 3 nights. Room, Bed, Bathroom was clean and cozy. Check in and check out were not complicated at all and I had good conversations with the owner....the kitchen gadgets and fridge could have been a little bit cleaner but it did not bother me all to much...I definately recommend that place and will come back again...

We had dinner here with a friend who had rented it. It was very clean and very nice. The reasons I gave 4 instead of 5 are: extremely narrow driveway leading to the parking & not much room to back out. I had to do Like a 30 point turn to back out in a large 6 to 8 passenger vehicle. It was super tight to get out through the alley too. I think the owner should install long tall reflectors where the driveway has the greatest incline/decline. Keep this in mind if youre in a large vehicle. I couldn't imagine anything bigger than a mini van fitting back there comfortably. Thank goodness for rear cameras! The other reason for 4 instead of 5 was a hole in the floor which likely used to be an outlet by the TV. It was not covered and you could see straight to the basement. It perfectly fits a toddler's foot! Also, the gas stove is a nightmare for a toddler. I would not take a toddler here again. But, I was not the renter and overall, with watchful parents, this place was very nice and clean. I would recommend it to anyone. I mean, can you honestly take a toddler anywhere??

Something of a mixed experience, though mostly quite good. Firstly, I was quite pleasantly surprised by all of the amenities they had. Maybe I didn't research close enough, but beyond free breakfast, there is a full gas range, as well as a hot tub, piano, free-to-use lockers, TV with streaming services, wifi and wired internet, refrigerators for guests, nice porch/smoking area, and a good bit more. Certainly it was more than I could have expected to use in a short visit; felt more like staying at a friend's house than a hostel. That said, despite the economy, it feels like a much better place for longer visits, at least 2 days. However, there were a few odd surprises, namely, the rooms. There are a lot of them with a good number of beds. Between that and having to pass through another bedroom to get to certain rooms, there's obviously no privacy, even more than you might expect. They assign you a bed, which is well enough, but be wary if you have any accessibility issues at all. My room was up two flights of narrow stairs, the second of which required me to hunch, crawl, or sit at the top, when coming up or down, because of the low ceiling. I'm not quite 6ft, but could only stand up at one spot in the room. Also, while I get that there's a pandemic on and all, it doesn't seem like the owners get around to cleaning up much. It's alright that it's left to guests to clean up after themselves-- I don't mind leaving a place as I found it-- but that collapses when someone else doesn't. Room below me had an early departure who left a bunch of stuff, books, bottle of wine, empty bottles, fake nails, and cigarette boxes all around. It was that way for as long as I was there. Still, it was really a fine time. Good accommodations for sure, and absolutely an unbeatable price for it, even without factoring in breakfast.
