10/10 Exceptional

The space was clean and well-tended. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was impeccable. The owners made me feel very comfortable and were very communicative during my travel to and from the room. I would recommend this space to single travelers going through San Diego.

Great space for simple travelers! Comfortable area and close to beach, shops, and nightlife. However the rooms were significantly warm even with a/c being turned down. Room service is not available. Need to ask for new towels-Only provided with one set per guest on a multiple day stay. Staff is helpful when present!

Great Hotel

This place is great! It was what we needed to be be close to sites and have cycling access to San Diego at large. Affordable, super clean, and kind people.

8/10 Very good

The kitchen was a fridge, sink and microwave. It wasn't really ever necessary for me but im glad it at least had a microwave. The place serves its purpose and i was very close to eveything i wanted to do. Overall id come back here if needed. I appreciate the cleanliness but the check in process was sorta different.
