I got this place on a good Black Friday deal and paid about half of what it could have cost… if I had I would have been highly displeased. The room is quite small, and as others said, there’s no front desk. More than once, I had people loitering on the front steps with no choice but to let them in when I went through the locked door. If you’re walking like I was to take the trolley or buses, the neighborhood changes block by block. One may have a tower with people taking dogs out, and the next may have people on drugs yelling or camping on the sidewalk. That’s a city issue, I know. The building is also only two floors from what I could tell, so it’s a bit loud during rush hours. They provided ear plugs, eye masks, and a white noise machine, which were useful.

The room felt neglected, sheets were dirty. The place is old and it’s by a noisy street. I did not get any sleep. I left to a different hotel the next day.

Listen if you havent spent time in a bottom floor apartment in the city youll hate this place. Its definitely a good place to stay for the price, it by no means is quite, its a renovated office, home or apartment turned into a botuqie hotel. So youll hear everything at all times.

The hotel is a landmark in San Diego. The rooms are well-appointed and charming. The bathroom was my favorite with the old-timey sink withthe chain plug and the unique shower. It's definitely different checking into a hotel with no staff on-site, but check-in was smooth. My main issue, hence the 4 stars, is that our room was upstairs and there's no elevator. I have a knee injury so going up and down the stairs was a bit of a challenge, especially with our suitcases. The halls do echo so there was that worry when we came in late. The lobby area is super cute and cozy. I would stay here again but would request a first-floor room.

The room did not me expectations. It was ground floor and all night long all you could hear was bums yelling at each other street noise, sirens, and fights. It was a terrible area when we reached out to the hotel to talk to them about the issues they said they were aware and provided us earplugs and sleep masks to make our stay more comfortable. I’m not sure about you, but I can’t sleep with your plugs in they hurt and if I’m paying to stay in a place, it should be comfortable and quiet. The hotel refused to work with us when we told them we were not gonna stay for the five nights we would pay for the one and be gone since we didn’t get any sleep. They refused to work with us at all. They charged us for the entire five nights stay even though they were able to rebook the room to someone else.

I don’t believe this hotel has enough security in terms of the code to enter the building and the code to enter my hotel room were the same. I had someone enter my room and steal some clothes and items from my luggage. I wouldn’t recommend any hotel that doesn’t offers ample security.
