The hostel is accessible, clean, and has decent amenities. As a quick overnight/recovery stay for backpackers, which I'm assuming is their target demographic, it's perfect as there is a kitchen and community area that I'm sure provides a lot of home comforts to those who have been in the wilderness for days/weeks on end. However, there is no air conditioning, the windows didn't open all the way, and the ceiling fan was old, and creaked loudly. Considering it's about 100F all day and only drops to about 80 at night in Bishop, this leads to a very uncomfortable night of sleep for those who need it before getting back on the trail the next day. The check-in process was easy and the host very kind, checking in on our ETA and sharing the amenities of the space. I only docked stars for the lack of AC; I consider my ability to sleep the number one factor in rating a hotel, and I didn't sleep at all due to the heat.
