Fodor's Expert Review Whalers on the Point Guest House

With its harbor-view picture windows and big stone fireplace, this Hostelling International hostel looks more like an upscale lodge than a budget option for everyone from backpackers to families. It has pretty much everything a penny-pinching traveler could want: a game room and TV lounge, free Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen, guest laundry, and even surfboard storage. Accommodations include private rooms with shared bathrooms, family rooms with private bathrooms, and four- and six-bed dorm rooms with shared bathrooms. Advance reservations are highly recommended.
