WOW! Hostels all over the world should send their management and staff to come observe the gracious and knowledgeable team of Dave and Shelley dazzle and indulge and serve the guests in the most hospitable manner I have ever experienced at a youth hostel (and I ain't no youth, so I've seen quite a few others!). I cannot wait to return to SF and skip the Hyatt Regency and the other luxury hotels for the comfort and community of the Pacific Tradewinds!
