Chattanooga’s Crash Pad is again up for a Hoscar award, a 21-year-old online competition presented by Hostelworld to celebrate the best hostels in the world.
The Crash Pad is nominated in the eco-warrior category, which was added to the competition last year.
The category focuses on hostels that promote eco-friendly features such as solar power, harvesting rainwater or adopting stray animals.
Other categories include the community champion, the new hostel on the block, the people person and the digital nomad. The Crash Pad is up against hostels around the world.
Co-owner Max Poppel said the hostel off of Main Street, which opened in 2011, is again up against stiff competition but the Crash Pad is deserving.
