From the moment of arrival, The Last Resort is something special. It's like walking into someone's home, from the front door leading into the well-equipped and clean (but modest) kitchen, and opening into the living room which is well-stocked with couches, coffee tables, TV, VCR, DVD player, and a gigantic collection of movies to choose from. There is also a dining table and fireplace in the homely room, and it feels like sitting down at the kitchen table back at your own house. The owner is very trusting of his guests, and happy to help with your stay, in the hostel, and advising and booking your activities in town. Oh, and it comes with a gorgeous and friendly resident dog.
The location is fantastic, right by the center, and a pleasant walk into the busy area, and just around the right corners to be away from the noise. It's on the Southeast corner of Man/Memorial Street and Camp Street, behind a small red picket fence.
Bathrooms are clean if simple. Rooms are nothing spectacular but are clean and seem to be made with love. We even had nametags, towels, and hot water bottles waiting for us on our neatly-made beds when we arrived. It is doubtful that cleanliness or attention to facilities would ever be a real issue at this place, because this is one hostel that feels way more like a stop-over at a friend's home than a thank-you-for-your-money business. It isn't a place you'll come to have a rip-roaring party late into the night, but if you want a comfortable, friendly, quiet place to crash, The Last Resort should be anything but.
