ID verification is so sketchy. Has you use an ID check in, plus facial recognition check in. This is extremely disturbing and couldn’t cancel my stay and get a refund. Would not trust this company or even the third party company ever.

The room was very loud, which I am used to, but when someone wants to stay four nights and you give them the room right on the street corner on the first floor, I feel like the management doesn't care if you have a good stay or not. I could have been on the second floor off the main street or towards the back. I brought this up and there was no offer to change rooms. The room sounded as if water was constantly running, they say they came in and checked, but the sound persisted throughout the stay.

I stayed three nights for a conference. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. Liked the modern updates. Was able to stash my bag there early. They had good communication and the self check in was easy. Close to a few grocery stores and walking distance to the waterfront where the conference was. Would recommend!

We had a great stay at the Davis. Everything was easy and smooth, they responded immediately to my questions through the texting feature. We appreciated the ability to easily store our luggage in the onsite lockers as we arrived early and left later. Everything was clean and suitable for our needs, though it would have been nice to have a mini fridge in our room for personal use. Our room sink did drip a bit, and on our last day, it was making a squealing noise, even when turned off, so you may want to look into that. It was a great rate in a convenient location to downtown places.

Bathroom door is a barn door that doesn’t work right for privacy. Loud street noise. No parking. The street has sweepers and finding spots is difficult.

I got this place on a good Black Friday deal and paid about half of what it could have cost… if I had I would have been highly displeased. The room is quite small, and as others said, there’s no front desk. More than once, I had people loitering on the front steps with no choice but to let them in when I went through the locked door. If you’re walking like I was to take the trolley or buses, the neighborhood changes block by block. One may have a tower with people taking dogs out, and the next may have people on drugs yelling or camping on the sidewalk. That’s a city issue, I know. The building is also only two floors from what I could tell, so it’s a bit loud during rush hours. They provided ear plugs, eye masks, and a white noise machine, which were useful.

Listen if you havent spent time in a bottom floor apartment in the city youll hate this place. Its definitely a good place to stay for the price, it by no means is quite, its a renovated office, home or apartment turned into a botuqie hotel. So youll hear everything at all times.

The hotel is a landmark in San Diego. The rooms are well-appointed and charming. The bathroom was my favorite with the old-timey sink withthe chain plug and the unique shower. It's definitely different checking into a hotel with no staff on-site, but check-in was smooth. My main issue, hence the 4 stars, is that our room was upstairs and there's no elevator. I have a knee injury so going up and down the stairs was a bit of a challenge, especially with our suitcases. The halls do echo so there was that worry when we came in late. The lobby area is super cute and cozy. I would stay here again but would request a first-floor room.
