I just wanted to chime in and say that the Hostel is remarkable---both for its deluxe accommodations and for the price. We were fortunate to stay there Saturday and Sunday and it was perfect. (Nice to see Cherida able to work in air conditioned comfort and not have to swat mosquitoes or say for the billionth time: "No, we don't have a bathroom here" like at the store.)
My only concern is that getting reservations will soon be harder than getting into the Whitney lottery.
Great job Doug & Co!

Does anyone run a shuttle service between the hostel and the portal? Just seems like such a service would get lots of customers, as parking at the portal is kind of tight in peak season, and you have to worry about bears.

We (3 hikers) stayed there Saturday night. The price was great $20/pp, the room was clean and most importantly the staff was very knowledgable about the mountain and routes and conditions, can get that at any other hotel.
