I did not notice that when I was there. In fact I was very impressed with the young people at that location.
Santa Barbara was horrible. There where already people visibly drunk at 3:00PM. I had already paid my fee when I notice it. I got a shower and walked out. Got the last room in town as it was move in day at the college and the parents were in town. I think the hotel took pity on us and found us a room. Pity somewhat that is. We paid something like $200 for the night but well worth it. The Santa Barbara hostel is a non HI hostel.
