    Location, room comfort. Check in process is a bit annoying but ok, walls are thin, unfortunately we had a very noisy person next to us, so I didn’t sleep very well the whole time.

    Sink clogged Fan didn’t work

    Location You can hear everything coming from the rooms next door. The air conditioner was broken, there was only one employee working on the property after 4 pm only . The housekeeper never said “hi,” “good morning,” or “how are you?” She would walk right past guests as if they didn’t exist, I did not feel welcome in this place .

    This place very good. I love this ❤️❤️. So clean

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Lovely hotel, nicely decorated & clean, only a suspicious mark on the bathroom wall that'd been missed, or would have had full points there Parking. Not a place to go if you are driving as expensive to park or else very challenging to park free

    Great location, comfy, and good amenities. Bathroom was clean and easy. Initially didnt recieve a code to my room, lucky there was staff when I got in (staff not always in premise) but quick to answer chat.

    First, they email you a registration card a few days before check-in that you have to fill out in order to get the key codes to the property and room. I sent this to my coworker to fill out and she noted that during this process, they make you provide your credit card information and that they included a bullet point saying that there is a "daily Amenity Fee of $25 plus tax...which includes access to the Amenity Room, morning breakfast snacks, and in-room coffee maker with complimentary coffee, a billiards table, and a fire pit area for evening gatherings." They emailed me a few hours before check-in with a link to pay an invoice of $121.97. I asked them to clarify what this charge was for and they responded saying, "The additional $121.97 is an amenity fee, it's $25 per night plus tax. It covers high-speed WiFi, access to the amenity room with a pool table and coffee station, and light breakfast snacks." I responded saying that none of this was disclosed upon booking my room nor is it on their listing. They responded and their reasoning for the charge changed, "The amenity fee is a required charge imposed by the City of San Diego on all hospitality businesses...With that said, the charge is valid." Additionally, my coworker reported many issues with the room that were not resolved during her stay. Day 1: Reported that there were fruit flies in room. Was assured the issue would be addressed. Day 2: Returned to room find that it had not been serviced. At that time, there were no towels or hand soap, and the fruit flies were still present. Contacted hotel that afternoon. Day 3: Contacted hotel again. Day 4: Room was finally serviced. The fruit fly issue persisted through the remainder of stay, until departure on Day 5.

    Nice ambiance, clean environment, quiet setting a TV

  • Engine customer Jan 2026

    cleanish, not bad the bathroom floors are in need of a serious detailing as the dirt is just caked in. the rooms could use a TLC as the mirrors were dirty and chunks of paint missing their is a 160$ charge on my caard with no verificiation as to why and no response. I was locked out of my room for an hour with no explination as to why my code stopped working. then my hotel room wouldnt lock

    The location and access to parking.

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    It was nice and modern and it has very comfortable beds It would be nice if they had parking space because looking for parking was a hustle but other than that it was a nice place

  • Engine customer Jun 2025

    the front foyer was really nice

  • Engine customer May 2025

    The room has a good Samsung tv and a very comfortable bed, if you’re okay with minimal space but a luxury feeling for a cheap price then this is the spot for you. Especially if you’re traveling for work or just in and out of the city I would recommend here. And I can say everything is cleaner than most hotels Shared Bathroom, I feel like everyone should have there own privacy

  • Engine customer Dec 2024

    The bed was comfy and glad I have my own room. If we didn’t buy a suite room we would have had to use showers down the hall with everyone else; we couldn’t find any parking nearby and had to park a couple blocks away and pay $40 a night for our car to be there. Our window also faced a wall. The walls here felt so thin we could hear everyone being loud and walking. The open shower was cool at first until water started going everywhere in the bathroom.
