We are only 8 months old but we are already making major improvements. I think it is important to always find ways to improve and we have had a few things we’ve wanted to do for a while.
To the hostel we are adding a brand new large common area downstairs with a library exchange , cable / Direct TV, huge large screen TV, and a free DVD library with over 100 selections. We are also adding another new computer with free internet. We are also redecorating and adding new furniture. I am really excited about the changes which will be completely finished by the end of Feb.
To the private rooms with private baths we are installing them with TVs and redecorating / painting.
For the bar, we are designing a ping pong table top to go on top of the pool table for Beer Pong nights (more about this later).
For the restaurant / bar we are adding a larger outdoor seating area and made some changes to the food menu. We even have a new logo for the bar / restaurant. It is called Tiger Tavern and you can see it proudly displaying from the bar window. We are also improving the sound system and including the outdoor section with sound as well.
One last thing is that we are focusing more on activities and events. In March we are starting Beer Pong Mondays (immature but fun drinking game on a ping pong table), Taco Tuesdays, BBQ on the roof terrace on Sundays, and movie nights on Wednesdays with all our old favorites on big screen in the bar. We are also going to having other random events being offered and will be focusing on this a great deal since we think this is the biggest thing missing with the hostels in Medellin (including us!).
Also, check back for March Madness in the sports bar (more about this in a different post). My (Clemson) Tigers will be in the big dance so I’m pretty excited about it. We have enough flat screens to show most of the games.
Come by and visit. I think you’ll like the new look of the Tiger Paw.
