Dear Readers!

Next summer, my family and I are doing something totally different than anything we have ever done before! We are staying for a week in Salida, Colorado at a hostel. We will be staying at the Simple Lodge & Hostel.

Our hostel Melanie will be answering some of our questions but I’d like your feedback as well. Has anyone reading this ever stayed at a hostel before? If so, what is it like? What is the difference between a hostel and a hotel/motel? Please explain to me and to others who have never stayed in one either.

Are hostels safe?

This is going to be a new experience for me and my family so any additional information or ideas you’d like to share – please do…

Feel free to reply below or submit your reply to us at marcies1960@aol.com. We will share replies with our readers…
