If you just need a bed and bathroom, this is a great spot. The room and bathroom has minimal shelfing. There is no ice machine on site. The rooftop lounge fire places didn't work- perhaps its only seasonal. No staff on site, which is not a big deal, however, 1st day I reported a broken conditioner bottle and it took over a day to replace. For the price, its a good place to stay and has a good location. If it had an ice machine on site, i would have given 4 stars

Not bad for an affordable stay in San Diego. The room we had on the second floor was pretty small but we just needed a place to sleep so that was fine. There were some stains on the bedding that kinda grossed us out, and the fitted sheet didn’t really fit on the mattress at all; the second we got in bed it just snapped off and we struggled to get it back on. No matter how hard we tried, it would come off very quickly, which was pretty annoying. The walls are super thin and you can hear other people in their rooms and all the noise from the busy street outside. The mini fridge was nice and there were cans of water and cookies waiting for us when we entered the room for the first time. The bathroom door was… interesting. I’m not sure why there wasn’t just a normal door, it was a sliding door on a track but it kept getting stuck and took a ton of effort to slide open and shut. The door is also too small for the doorframe, so there is a pretty significant gap on the sides even when the door is shut, so don’t expect bathroom privacy if you’re with someone else. There’s also no shower door, it’s a walk in shower but you are forced to stand in the same place the whole time so water doesn’t spray all over the bathroom. Check in and check out was pretty easy and the luggage storage was very helpful. This is a nice place if you just need an affordable place to sleep on a San Diego vacation but don’t expect anything but the bare minimum.

I never leave reviews, but I’d be doing others an injustice if I didn’t. I wish someone had warned me before I booked. There were several major issues. 1.The room was not as advertised. The photos online made it look spacious, but Room 104 was genuinely the size of a closet. With two people, it was extremely cramped & we couldn’t even open both suitcases at once, and the layout made the whole stay uncomfortable. 2.The sliding bathroom door was broken for the entire first day. Even though they responded to my messages, they didn’t offer to move us, and no matter how close you are with someone, you still want bathroom privacy. The bed directly faces the bathroom, so it was awkward and unacceptable, especially for the price. It wasn’t fixed until the next day, and only after I repeatedly followed up with calls. They also only provided one toilet paper roll for a week. 3.The AC barely worked. It would turn on for a second and shut off, and the room stayed HOT. This also took a full day to fix, which was incredibly frustrating. 4.Parking was a nightmare. We drove around for30+ minutes searching, street parking was scarce, garages were either full or extremely expensive, and one recommended option didn’t feel safe. 5.No mini fridge; tough issue bc we were there for a week & needed1. Overall, nothing was communicated clearly, and we paid a lot of money to be uncomfortable. I hate leaving a negative review, but if this helps someone avoid the same experience, it’s worth being honest.

This hotel was perfect for what we needed on our stay. The price for a king bed and AC was hard to beat and the aesthetics were superb. We especially liked the entrance lobby and the shower in our room. If you’re on the first floor you can hear upstairs neighbors a little. The rooftop was cool but none of the fire places appeared to be working and there wasn’t clearly posted instructions anywhere. All in all, I plan on staying here again when I visit San Diego.

Great value! Loved the easy check-in process and the decor. Location close to restaurants/bars, and Petco park. Only issue we had in our room was the A/C not blowing cold air and was very loud but they provided ear plugs. On our check-out day the A/C finally started to feel like it was working. Cleanliness was good but cleaners missed a questionable food stain. Overall charming hotel but slightly missed a few marks.
