What travel books say:
Insider's Guide - hostels U.S.A., sixth edition, 2006: * * * * (4 stars out of 5!) = Excellent! "This place is an Oasis in Florida, a combo B&B and hostel... If you're the type to noodle away on a guitar for hours this place is practically heaven. Cool! Overall, hostellers just love this place! The owner's friendliness, the cleanliness and centrality, the Boho vibe, and the constant tunes knocked us out!"
Lonely Planet USA & Canada on a shoestring, 2005: "Gram's Place is a travel experience itself. Themed from musician Gram Parsons this Key West outpost features the most unusual 'train car' dormitory, a tree house - like roof deck, outdoor Jacuzzi ... and delightfully rare blues music piped throughout the complex."
Let's Go USA, 2006: "The only hostelling option in Tampa. What the "train" dorm lacks in spaciousness it makes up for in quirkiness and you're sure to bunk alongside some interesting folks!"
Lonely Planet Orlando & Central Florida, 2003: "About as fun and funky as it gets! There are few places like it in Tampa!"
