Appreciated the easy and responsive check in. Enjoyed the unique style of the room and it was filled with light and the little kitchenette. The bathroom was an odd layout but clean. Cool little cafe in the downstairs breezeway. Would stay here again.

Bare bones but I’d visit again

I had difficulty getting on WiFi but finally managed it. Someone is always available by phone even though there is no desk. The parking is not gated nor does it have cameras so I felt parking was expensive for no security. It was a convenient hotel for me.

The photo on the hotel website is way far from real life. It doesn’t look like it at all. Comfort wise is ok. When we checked in I felt rush and no instructions.

Have stayed here multiple times and I love it. The larger rooms toward the top of the building have better views, but an open air bathroom situation. If you want more privacy for the bathroom, I would recommend getting a studio room.

Great hotel!! The owners upgraded me to their amazing penthouse suite, which was very generous. Btw, their penthouse suite is over 1,000 sf of space with stunning 360-degree views of the entire city, kitchen, large seating area, etc. So I will always stay at the amazing Abpopa Hillcrest when I am in San Diego!!

Not sure what I was thinking with this one. The space was compact and clean. The beds are in a loft with about 3 feet high of space. The bed was comfortable, however. The space looks like it was cheaply built by IKEA. I was a bit disappointed in the quality. It also showed some age. There’s no sofa, just a row of 4 chairs to sit in, and you can’t really relax in the bed because of height constraints and the hike up the ladder. I should have booked a different space in the unit. Maybe that would have swayed me a bit more to the positive.

Modern comfortable hotel with cool vibe

We travel to San Diego for work several times a year. This was a new hotel for us to try. We loved it. A very cool, modern and hip vibe. A beautiful room. And a wonderful restaurant downstairs was great as well.

It was a GREAT property, and it was in the heart of Hillcrest, which I love. And, once you walked a block or two from the hotel, it was fine. Just a bit shady around the block the hotel was on. But, I'm from NYC, so didn't bother me too much. Might be off putting to others. Rick
