Loved the Block.
Pros:

The large window in our room, the facility in general and affordability.

Cons:

Karaoke until 11 pm instead of 10 pm as we needed sleep before an early morning the next day. Our room as on the second floor and our wall adjoined the bar! Very Loud! Also- serve sone food at the bar! Please!

Highly recommend
Pros:

This hotel was really great. A combination of upscale hostel and hotel. Our room was large and comfortable with great view facing river and private bath.
There were a variety of sitting areas and bar on first floor with guest kitchen available.
A really sweet spot.
Will stay again when in the area.
Located in a quiet part of town. Walking tail right out the door along the river👍🏼
Very clean and comfortably furnished.

Cons:

Only problem, which really wasn’t, but could not figure out how to turn on tv.

Great Stay
Pros:

bathroom was immaculate. Super clean and nice. Loved the design. We stayed in the mixed dorm and were lucky enough to be the only two people in there. They do keep the rooms pretty chilly but being in the bunk it is a little warmer. If you run cold you might have to wear a jacket to sleep! The chair and the view from the room was pretty cool. I like how there is a big light and the super small entry light; i found that to be a thoughtful design choice. I like how the room is set up like a corridor and all the beds are just facing a wall. It feels less exposed and more private. The bunk structure also felt solid and stable. Mattress was decently comfortable. Had no issues sleeping. Great set up with the small ledge and bedside lamp


Hot tub was also very nice. I was pretty impressed overall. The common areas were cozy and nice. I've been to plenty of hostels/dorms abroad but this was my first time doing one in the states. This place definitely ranks very close with my favorite hostels. We wanted to stay longer haha. Good location in silverthorne.

Cons:

kitchen was kinda small and tight but did the job. Also did not see a hot water kettle, unless i missed it! It's nbd! Had all the other appliances tho!
