Hey, folks! A question - does anyone here have any advice re: staying in hostels? I'm poking around the internet for tips and tricks (and will eventually remember to check my copy of Wanderlust and Lipstick), but firsthand experience is always a plus.

Relatedly - holy shit, hotels in DC are expensive.

Ooh, thank you! Especially re: the extra lock, I would have totally spaced on that.

Single-sex rooms are definitely a requirement, oh yes.
