“Kimberly Backpacker Hotel's friendly staff are a plus; however, location alone isn't enough to compensate for reported hygiene and safety concerns. I observed mentions of unacceptable room conditions alongside accounts of unprofessional check-in experiences, giving me serious pause. Based on what I've seen, potential guests should weigh these concerns carefully.”
