I had a short but great stay. The bed, including the pillows and sheets, were SO comfortable! I stayed on the East side but did not have any issues with the freeway noise. Light does get in around the curtains so maybe not the spot for those who need total darkness, but otherwise would definitely recommend. It was also nice to be close to many restaurants, coffee shops, etc.

Great location, basics

The location is fantastic and it’s a good place to crash. Easiest check I’ve ever experienced. Air conditioning worked well. Probably won’t stay again though as a woman….. the bathroom was so small, no water pressure or shelf in the shower, refillable toiletries (gross,can’t trust), towels were small and scratchy, and the thinnest toilet paper in the world. The mattress was too soft but linens all seemed clean. There were forehead grease stains on the headboard, gave us a good laugh.

Love the place and location. I would prefer West side of the building instead of East side, which faces the freeway. Lots of noise.

Low cost, noisy, but close to Hillcrest

Noise from traffic, sirens from fire station across the street, and from other guests including small children in the hallway at early hours. Location near Hillcrest is great. Price is very good.

Noisy!

So noisy! No insulation in the walls. Hearing conversations in the hallway. And even on the 6th floor, like trying to sleep on the busy street below. Bathroom door didn't close. Overall: meh

Treated my husband to a quick small vacation to San Diego to visit museums and the zoo. The area has a Whole Foods and other great restaurants and bars all in walking distance. Center of San Diego so commuting by car was fairly swift. Our room was clean and simple. They do note it is a limited service hotel, but there was a communal kitchen. it is a bit loud in the hallways from other guests or employees talking (walls are a bit thin). Yet we still got good sleep and everyone was quite nice. I would definitely come back to stay, and future go to!

The location is amazing if you want to stay somewhere that feels like a city. The staff is lovely and welcoming. Rooms are simple and functional, and I really appreciated the shared kitchen with coffee. I'm thinking of moving back to San Diego, and would readily stay here more long-term if I didn't have a pet.

Quick overnight stay

Small room, bed average. Wouldn’t recommend if multiple people are in same room more than a night or two but fine for one person. Location is perfect however.

The only thing about this place is the lobby was so very cold. The poor fellow managing the front desk also has to have a heater by him. He was so kind as to bring us a heater so we could at least wait for check in and stop our teeth from chattering.
