"I know Jackson is expensive, but this was still a lot of money to stay in a cubby hole in the basement of a hotel. That said, it was a nice cubby hole — the bed was comfortable and the space was clean. My biggest issue was ventilation.
Because the hostel is in the basement, it seemed that the sleeping area and bathrooms had very little ventilation. The sleeping area became pretty stuffy at night. The fan helped, but only so much. The bathrooms were clean, but after a shower, I essentially had to get dressed in a steam room because there wasn't enough ventilation to clear the humidity.
The shower rooms were also frequently wet, with very limited places to put your belongings. A small bench or chair would make a huge difference so guests don't have to put their bags on the floor or on the toilet seat cover. (My toothbrush took a tumble onto the toilet, so... yikes.) A bench near the lockers would also be helpful for putting on shoes and organizing bags.
I also noticed the main doors were often propped open during the day, presumably because of the lack of ventilation, meaning anyone could potentially walk directly into the hostel.
There is an additional amenities fee, which I'm not really sure what covered beyond a "free" coffee and the potential use of one of five bikes shared by the entire hotel and hostel.
Overall, clean and comfortable, but given the price, I expected a little more. Better ventilation and a few simple additions would make a big difference."
