Close to major attractions within walking distance.
Very basic room, no towels or toilet paper but that’s common in some small low cost hotels.

- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Backpacker's Nest
What time is check-in and check-out at Backpacker's Nest?
Check-in is from 12:30 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Backpacker's Nest allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Backpacker's Nest?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Backpacker's Nest?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Backpacker's Nest have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Backpacker's Nest have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Backpacker's Nest?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 12:30 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Backpacker's Nest?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
