    Would recommend due it to its location, cleanliness and super nice balcony along with great staff

    Super clean room to crash at - loved the cleanliness and the shower. Noisy at night and a bit smelly outside (downtown SD though). Hotel was great!

    Although is a place without lobby staff, fortunately, Eugene was there to provide assistance since I was assigned a room that was not available. Everything went smooth and even got an upgrade thanks to Eugene's help.

    Amazing A/c . Clean comfy bed. Easy access and smooth check in.

    The room was so small that I had to spread my stuff on the floor because there were no drawers or shelves. There was no coffee maker or microwave in the room. There was a nice coffee maker and microwave in the lobby, but I saw bugs crawling around on them numerous times. The bed sheets had someone else’s hair on them when I arrived. Then I found another bug in the bathroom that looked like a bedbug, which caused a moment of panic. After a little research with Google Lens, I discovered it was maybe a eucalyptus tortoise beetle instead, and since it was the only one, I decided not to get too reactive about it. The staff was very responsive via text messaging. It certainly was not a good value for the price paid, and I would not consider staying there again.

    Terrible 😞

    The hotel was nice and organized but the sheets were dirty in our room.

    Don’t come here unless you want to get threatened with a $500 noise complaint fine caused by their own appliances. Room is more cramped then you see online, not every room has a fridge, very secured and quiet place but confusing check in process once you get there( another stranger had the same problem), staff aren’t all helpful and will just tell you what they need to.

    This place was less than ideal. From the neighborhood being filled with homeless and smelling like pee to the rooms themselves being the size of a shoebox. We were extremely disappointed. The nearby parking is expensive and not safe due to the homeless encampments. There was a small roach by the coffee area and our room ran out of hot water. The hotel staff was a 24/7 hotline that would text infrequently which was not helpful. Our rooms tv also did not work during our stay and were unable to get the issue resolved. This place has aesthetics but stops short of everything else and I would save my money if I were you.

    I loved how easy the booking and checkin process was! And it was super convenient for a concert at the petco literally found a great spot in front of hotel and was only an 8min walk to the stadium would definitely book again ‘

    Very loud neighborhood at night, plus pipes are loud. If you really need your rest, I would look elsewhere.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    while the staff were very helpful, their hands were tied because of the state of disrepair of the facilities. Granted it was an old building, but the air conditioner only had 2 settings, on or off. The tv was a technical nightmare, with very little instructions on how to navigate, with very low volume, I tried everything to try to raise the volume with no luck, no big deal, I wasn't there to watch tv, but it's nice to leave it on while you're out so people think you are still in there. No clothes closet, no place to put your clothes, we had to work out of our suitcases on the floor because there were no tables or chairs, only one luggage rack, which we used in the bathroom because there were no shelves or countertops, even with plenty of available wallspace for such.

    The plumbing is old and makes noises constantly. Could barely sleep because of it.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Boutique, clean and cozy; I would've had a 5 star experience but unfortunately ran into an instance where the code for my room didn't work. Little hiccups happen I wouldn't have made much of it if it were just quickly resolved, but due to the incompetence of one employee, we were stuck sitting on the floor outside of the room over 15 minutes on hold wsitinf for him to help until I gave up. I called back pretty upset and spoke to a different rep who immediately manually unlocked the room to let me in so we didn't have to wait until she created a new code we could use. I would stay with them again and one poor employee does not represent the whole experience.

    The hotel is more like a B&B - no staff, access building and room with door codes. On a positive note, the decor is very nice and the hotel is clean.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    There is no stuff on premises, so nothing get fixed, and it showed in the poor condition of everything. Not recommended.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    I was delighted that the shower water was really hot.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    A convenient location in the Downtown area. Love that it was dog-friendly

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Very nice space with all the essentials. The other guests were also nice. My only observation is that the building’s plumbing system could be really noisy at times.
