We didn’t realize it wasn’t a traditional hotel with a lobby and staff to greet you. It was a bit confusing how and where to go. The room was nice. Recently renovated and it was nicely done. Ours was a quick trip but the area around the hotel seems lively. ##### Brad Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 17 Jan 2025 excellent customer service ##### Ryan Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan 1 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No complaints at all. ##### Ryan ### 8/10 Good #### Raúl 6 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property do not have people attending, you do everythig by messages, you have places to eat arround that you can reach walking.

It is in a great part of San Diego! I was very confused about it being a hotel and then when I arrived, it clearly was not. Everything was done by email/messenger which was fine. It was very clean inside. It would be great for multiple people. Overall it was a good place to stay for the purpose for which I was there. ##### Kristen Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Nicholas 3 Mar 2025 I didn’t even have the opportunity to stay here because the check in was entirely online and I received minimal information that made it difficult to check in and was also not issued a refund despite. ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Garrett 4 Feb 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Horrible ##### Garrett Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Daniel 9 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I was trying to contact them all day to get the access, I never got an answer of them… is not a hotel, its just an airbnb without front desk either personal concierge ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Heather 31 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The sofa looked like someone vomited on it several times over many years. And it looked like someone tried to beat the door down. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Yvette 17 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not the safest spot no parking elevators don’t work ##### Yvette Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Azeem 8 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Smell on the entrance due to larger garbage bins. Room was not the one shown in pictures while I was booking. Vents in the room are connected with other rooms and my room was smelling full of weed all the time. It is particularly coming from the vent in bathroom. ##### Azeem Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marko 9 Apr 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dissappointment Did not get the doors locked, either front door to street or my room door!? ##### Marko Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Heather 10 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This property is not a hotel really. It is an apartment building on top of a very popular taco stand. The entrance is next to the garbage cans for the taco stand and because activity --it's probably more safe than it feels because the taco stand has security. That being said, the unit itself was fine. It's an older building with an elevator that is truly old school with gates and swinging doors. Age shows throughout but the unit was clean and spacious; bedding was less than desired--pretty cheap linens. During busy & expensive convention season, this worked. The gaslamp district is popping and you can walk to the big Hyatt or Marriott no problem. ##### Heather Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sam 10 Jan 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Came down to San Diego because my building lost power during the los angeles fires. This property works like an air bnb so there is no front desk. I got a link to a website to check in that didnt work. And when I called the hotel's number no one ever answered or returned my calls. I had to get another hotel and wasn't able to get a refund. ##### Sam Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Arthur 2 Mar 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities It wasn’t the nicest place so I’ll be fair it is an older building that was somewhat renovated more like lipstick on a pig!! Because there is no staff on site it just seems like a party hotel…. A bunch of disrespectful loud people that thought it was okay to rage and blast music like they’re parents weren’t home!!!!! the blinds were tore up a hole in the wall needlessl to say I would not be returning nor would I recommend to anyone I know. It was kinda clean but because it was such an old building it just had a funny stench and the floors were kinda sticky like too much cleaner. This is exactly what it looks like when you don’t have proper maid service! ##### Arthur Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Danae Roxana 28 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort NUNCA ME LLEGO CORREO CON LAS INSTRUCCIONES PARA ENTRAR AL "HOTEL" YA QUE EL NOMBRE DICE HOTEL PERO EN REALIDAD ES AIR BNB.

Very comfortable and the area is great! Parking is the only issue, but that is out of the control of the hotel. You have to find a close parking garage and they are quite expensive. Maybe the hotel can invest in making a parking lot for their guest? ##### Rey Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose 8 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Muy cómodo lugar.
