“To win one award is always an honor, to win three for one hostel is almost overwhelming, especially since we only purchased our Ocean Beach San Diego location two years ago, “ said David Reuter, founder and president of USA Hostels. “We we purchased the hostel in August of 2014 we set our right away on renovations. It was a lot of work and time, but clearly it’s paid off with a hostel that guests really seem to love. We tried hard thought to stay true to the spirit of Ocean Beach and did not change our iconic exterior, nor did we remove the famed peace sign on the roof. We also have all local staff, who bring their love of Ocean Beach to the job and share their enthusiasm with the guests.”
“And, with being just two blocks to the beach, it really is an ideal combination of laid back hostel and a laid back, beach town environment. We also try to help guests have great memories by providing local experiences such as weekly beach bonfires, and taking guests to the San Diego Zoo, La Jolla and hiking Cowles Mountain.” He continued, “Today’s guests are really focused on having local experiences. They want to get out and explore and then have a fun time back at the hostel later. We provide for both these desires.”
