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.

There was a homeless woman in one of the rooms, and then later in front of the door step. It was also not clean. Had difficult time getting compensated (and in the dead, did not get compensated at all).

If you just need a bed and bathroom, this is a great spot. The room and bathroom has minimal shelfing. There is no ice machine on site. The rooftop lounge fire places didn't work- perhaps its only seasonal. No staff on site, which is not a big deal, however, 1st day I reported a broken conditioner bottle and it took over a day to replace. For the price, its a good place to stay and has a good location. If it had an ice machine on site, i would have given 4 stars

This hotel was perfect for what we needed on our stay. The price for a king bed and AC was hard to beat and the aesthetics were superb. We especially liked the entrance lobby and the shower in our room. If you’re on the first floor you can hear upstairs neighbors a little. The rooftop was cool but none of the fire places appeared to be working and there wasn’t clearly posted instructions anywhere. All in all, I plan on staying here again when I visit San Diego.

Great value! Loved the easy check-in process and the decor. Location close to restaurants/bars, and Petco park. Only issue we had in our room was the A/C not blowing cold air and was very loud but they provided ear plugs. On our check-out day the A/C finally started to feel like it was working. Cleanliness was good but cleaners missed a questionable food stain. Overall charming hotel but slightly missed a few marks.

Very clean except for hair in the shower drain. Because there was no staff I wasn’t worried about my things being taken. Much cheaper than other hotels. I would definitely do this again. It was like staying at a friend’s spare room. Only thing I missed was an ice machine, but the water cooler/coffee maker was right outside my door!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Good stay in downtown San Diego

Nice little boutique hotel. 10 minute walk to Gaslamp District. The room was very clean & the bed was comfortable. There is no one at the front desk, so all communication is via text but it was run very well; any questions or concerns were answered almost immediately.

Very walkable to a lot of downtown and multiple bus/trolley stops. Sometimes gets a little loud; room does not get dark. Suggestion: please put up curtains on top of the blinds, the blinds do not block out the light from outside.

Very convenient for Gas Lamp Quarter & convention

The location was good; about a 15 minute walk from the convention center. The room was very clean and the area was quiet overall. I spent some time on the rooftop lounge which was done nicely. I think the only thing I would have personally preferred would be having someone at the front desk. Not that the virtual front desk was bad at all; it was perfectly fine and convenient when you want to be an introvert. All of my questions were answered right away by the virtual front desk. I think I just like the idea of having someone there. I have no complaints, honestly, and would stay here again.
