Beautiful Hostel but can't predict roommates

The hostel was super clean and well planned out. I just could not sleep in the bunk beds as there was constant noise from others in the room (people coming in late, whispering, flipping lights on and off, getting up and down, a clock going off every hour, etc). There was also a loud band playing until 10am and I needed to sleep early for an early wake up time. There wasn't room to really organize myself or my things, or for others in the room to do the same, so there was constant zippers opening/closing, shuffling around, etc. I stayed in hostels as a younger person with no issue so maybe I am just getting old!

Misleading Inaccurate Listing

Listings is very misleading. Saying a room has a bathroom does not mean it is a shared bath.

My stay at the Block Hotel & Commons in Silverthorne, CO was excellent. I was meeting some people for a local hike the next morning, and I wanted to break up the drive to the trailhead. The front desk staff was very hospitable and nice to talk with. She checked me into the hotel and answered my questions about some local activities/amenities. I talked with a couple of guys exploring the area, visiting from DC, and one guy had just moved to Golden. It was enjoyable to talk with them about the pros/cons of where to potentially live along the front range. I then took a short walk along the riverside greenway right outside of the hotel before checking out the hot tub on the 3rd floor level. I talked with a few people while at the hot tub who were in the area to take a few runs at A-Basin and Mary Jane ski resorts. The all-male dorm room was very comfortable and quiet. I highly recommend staying at the Block Hotel & Commons if you need a place to lodge near Silverthorne.
