HI - Phoenix, The Metcalf House Hostel

"The Metcalf House Hostel is located in a residential neighborhood. You'll see the yard from a block away because it is the one filled with all the trees and cacti. This hostel is located in a great old house, and if it seems a little run-down, it is only because it is well lived-in. The brick exterior of the porch is covered in bright chalk messages of thanks from guests, proving this to be a beloved rest-stop for many travellers.

Phoenix is a craphole. There are homeless people everywhere you turn and the bus system is bad!

Comment by Sanny

Phoenix area is a place where there is lots to see and to do. The bus system is not so great but it brings you everywhere you need to go -- you only have to have time because they take forever.

If you're coming to Phoenix, try to be here during the first Friday of the month. There is an "art walk" where all the galleries downtown open for free and you can drink booze in the street. There is also usually lots of cool live music going on.

Phoenix is great for those who like sunshine. People are friendly, and the food is great.

The bus station is very near the airport just west of downtown. The Amtrak however pulls up to a spitoon in the middle of a tiny Native American reserve town half-an-hour out of town. This year in Late September, it's still over 100 degrees F every day. Tempe is probably a more interesting place for 20 somethings to hang out. Phoenix metro is very spread out but there are good desert hikes sprinkled throughout the neighborhoods. Just look for big hills and you're likely to find a trailhead. Phoenix is a hotbed for bar culture and you'll not be want for great happening friendly venues no matter your persuasion. September is also a good time to hit town and score a resort job. Apartments are cheap (compared to LA NY or SF for instance) and roomate situations are plenty. Aparently the one available hostel begs an alternative. If you have a car the 'burbs have $2-$3 second run movie houses. Some communities have cheap-to-get-in community pools but they may not be open all year 'round. Scottsdale has an amazing park system, many with wet amenities for $2/day. If you're bold or just bored, drive to one of the many high-end resorts, tell the gate you're going to Human Resources, park in self-parking and find a spot to relax in. There you can have air conditioning in a comfy chair or a lounger by the palm canopied pool and all for FREE :)
