Drains back up here, seemingly just a part of the San Diego water-crisis (and all that implies). Been here many (3+) times: drains, all of them, back up. Otherwise very nice place; great cafe downstairs; easy-going check in and out.

Appreciated the easy and responsive check in. Enjoyed the unique style of the room and it was filled with light and the little kitchenette. The bathroom was an odd layout but clean. Cool little cafe in the downstairs breezeway. Would stay here again.

Bare bones but I’d visit again

I had difficulty getting on WiFi but finally managed it. Someone is always available by phone even though there is no desk. The parking is not gated nor does it have cameras so I felt parking was expensive for no security. It was a convenient hotel for me.
