The best part for me was that everything is in walking distance. I could go to grocery outlet and get anything I forgot to bring with me and at the end of the night I can go out on the town. Rita is a queen she goes out of her way to make sure the guest is taken care of and gets a good parking spot in front of the hotel. Because of her I never moved my car that weekend lol.

Good stay but please keep fresh bedding and towel.

Although this property is a small room hotel the bed was very comfortable but the bed sheets, some of the towels and the room had another persons smell and I had no way to communicate that to anyone since the place is keyless and as no staff.

Absolutely all I need in a hotel. It is contactless so don't expect much service. If you are just looking for a room and a shower the Hotel Gigi is perfect.

The room is very small, including the bathroom. I’m usually not claustrophobic but it was making me feel claustrophobic. There’s barely any storage space, only a small rod to hang clothes but no drawers. There was also so much noise at night. There is only room service if you request it 24 hours in advance, as there’s only one cleaning lady, who is also the host (Rita). She’s very nice but having to request room service with so much time in advance is inconvenient. One last thing, the walls are thin, we could hear some of the other guests when they spoke loudly. We were on the 2nd floor and we could also hear someone above us when they walked. You definitely get what you pay for in this place. I will not be staying here again.

Hickups at arrival, but recovered well

This hotel is set up as "no staff" with codes for the front door and room. I am blind and the buttons are small, poorly lighted. I could not open the door and finally I had to call a service for the blind that reads stuff and they read that there is a sign on the door instructing users not to fully depress the door handle or the door will not open! I mistakenly booked for one night and went back to add a night and the price doubled, so I made one separate reservation. Now, according to their instructions I need to check out at 11 and then wonder the streets until 4 PM! No desk or work area at all! This isomer like a hostel The manager did a nice job to make things good. I enjoyed my stay.

Happy with my service as it was the cheapest hotel with good reviews in the area. I like the check in with a code vs waiting at a front desk for a key. Check-in instructions were clear and everything was hassle-free. Rooms are a bit small but if you need just a place to sleep I would recommend this hotel.

This was a bare bones hotel. no coffee maker, no tissue. But the worst thing was the parking-there isnt any. The 2 people I dealt with were very accomodating, but I wish I would have know how little there was to the room, how the light came in under the door and how incredible noisy it was because of some strange sound from the parking garage gate or some sort of machine.

There is no front desk at this hotel, it's an apartment building that has been retrofitted to be hotel rooms. I checked into the room at checked under the sheets, near the head board. There were multiple small black dots on the mattress cover and I was concerned that 1) there was an active bed bug infestation or 2) an infestation was remedied and that cover was not swapped out. I could not in good conscious stay at the hotel. Further, the room had a strong cologne smell that was making me nauseous. It smelled like an abercrombie & fitch store. Messaged the hotel on Expedia and never heard back.

I love the property. It is very close to gaslamp if you are thinking about going out at night and there’s a lot of restaurants nearby as well all within walking distance. Also, the train station is not too far. If you plan on doing that the place is a small but it is all you need and especially for the price. Definitely would stay here again.
