Clean and comfortable room. Easy check-in and great front desk staff. The location is perfect for visiting Hillcrest restaurants and clubs. Unfortunately, the coffee machine was not working, so.. no coffee during my two days/nights. All-in-all, a great stay. I'll be back!

Stay was pretty great. Hotel is fantastic value for money and in a great location in Hillcrest, walking distance to grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, bars, balboa park, etc. Only issue is that the water pressure in the shower was really poor but otherwise everything was great, all the staff were super friendly.

Great hotel, the location is very nice there is a lot of good food in the area and grocery stores. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. Rooms are very clean. I have stayed at the same hotel 2 years in a row for the San Diego Marathon, and each time I have been pleased. Parking is safe and convenient, but a bit on the pricy side.
