Liked: Cleanliness
Overall, the stay was decent for the price. The location is convenient, and I liked the room itself — it was comfortable and nicely set up. The only downsides were that the room had a noticeable smell, almost like fresh paint, which was a bit unpleasant at first. Also, there was no iron available in the room, which would have been helpful. Aside from those small issues, it was a reasonable stay for the cost.

Rooms were very small, but very clean. I felt safe in the hotel. The hotel was in a great location in the gaslamp district. There was an issue with the email and the room code, but a phone call cleared that all up. Rita was amazing.

Hotel Gigi is great. The host Rita was very accommodating and friendly. Room was good too. Only thing is that some check in instructions were not provided from EXPEDIA. Made checking in a little bit of a hassle, but that's on EXPEDIA.

Good price, location and customer service. Perfect for events at Petco park, it was my first time being able to get to and get home from a festival in under 10 minutes! Definitely a bit small and the noise travels, but can’t beat the price point for a private room.

We arrived at the place at night. It was apparent that the place was not cleaned after last user. The hairs were on cover and the mattress and coversheets were neither organised not clean. I called the hotel, they said they already cleaned the unit. Then they offered another unit. I couldn’t trust the hygiene of this place so asked any form of refund. The lady then said “i’ll tell the agent (hotels.com) that you rejected my offer to upgrade your reservation.” The lady said if I want a refund, I should talk to hotels.com. I reached out to hotels.com via their chatting service. I was upfront about my needs (any refund and not another unit in the same place), they kept wasting my time for 30 mins for nothing but $25 of OneCash (some online point). It was frustrating since we are already exhausted after a long day on a trip at that night. We just wanted a place and because of this, we were waiting so long without even being sit. I can’t understand people who recommend this place. San Diego has amazing public transit. There are way better hotels or airbnb anywhere nearby. So don’t be trapped to this place because of the location.
