The United States has hundreds of low-cost hostel accommodations, but they vary greatly in quality, facilities, and comfort. Great Hostels USA sorts through the bad and the good, and provides all of the information you need to select the most suitable hostel accommodation in 25 states and 4 Canadian provinces. To write this pioneering guide, author Colleen Norwine visited more than 200 hostels and then profiled and recommended only the 97 that passed muster for quality, safety, and cleanliness. The goal of the book is for visitors to be able to "travel with confidence" when staying at a hostel. Not only does each profile include basic information such as neighborhood safety, type of mattresses, and size, but each one also has a "is this hostel great for you?" section, a candid assessment of the demographic of hostel guests (families, over-30s, party animals, etc.).- Winner of the 2006 IPPY Award for Best Travel Guide Book
