Cute but….

This is a cute hotel however you can tell that it was refurbished from a old apartment building. Although it was a spacious room there really wasn’t space for a woman to properly get ready. I had to do my make up in the mirror that was above the kitchen sink. The bed was very uncomfortable, although the sheets were comfortable, but it did not have a boxsprings. So you felt every single metal from the bed-frame. Outside there were multiple drug addicts hanging in front of the building and next-door at 7 eleven. Parking was not explained. We parked on the street. We did not get a ticket thank God.

We were moved to this property by Expedia after our reservation was mis-handled. It looks spacious but the master bathroom is a plywood space that is open at the top for all noise to be heard.. and tiny. Sink to brush teeth is a ‘kitchette sink”. The floors were sticky; make noise when walked upon. The other bathroom was a bathtub next to the bed in the CARPETED bedroom! Bed and tub next to each other with carpet as you get out if tub!!!! Reminded me of traveling in the 90’s in eastern block countries in Europe. Noisy noisy dirty hillcrest neighborhood right next to 7-11. Would never stay again nor recommend

Would not stay af

Would only recommend if you’re staying one night, are a heavy sleeper and need to get up really early. Pros: Plenty of places to eat in the area Close to old town and balboa park Good water pressure in shower Room had plenty of space Cons: Noisy - no soundproofing, so you get noise from the street and adjoining rooms Blinds are thin and don’t block any light No kettle or coffee maker or toaster No bathroom cabinet, just a toilet next to the shower No servicing, so you don’t get toilet paper topped up or rubbish removed during your stay No drawers or wardrobe/hanging space for clothes Kitchen crockery was just a corkscrew and butter knife Air conditioning didn’t work There was no laundry facilities (hotels.com said there was)

Disliked: Amenities

The bed is up a ladder you have to climb to get to it. The ceiling is only 6 feet tall in the little room that has the bed in it. There’s no cable or satellite television. It’s just a Roku TV so if you don’t have access, don’t book it here. There’s no front desk. In fact there’s no one that works here. You have to call a phone number paste it outside the gate to get the code to get in. Not very user-friendly the bed was very comfortable. Other than that I have nothing else. Good to say. The restaurant downstairs for breakfast was excellent.

I had a very smooth check-in. Just checked in on the building’s website. They gave me a passcode to get through the front gate passcode for the elevator and a passcode for the room. The room was pretty unique, sort of whimsical and fun. The bed was so comfortable I slept a full eight hours each night, which is very odd for me. I would definitely recommend staying here while in San Diego
