It was right at the heart of downtown where everything is happening. No need to drive. Everything was walking distance. The place itself was great and clean.

8/10 Very good

Great location in Gaslamp District!

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.

Horrible
Garrett, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

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, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

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, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not the safest spot no parking elevators don’t work
Yvette, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dissappointment

Did not get the doors locked, either front door to street or my room door!?
Marko, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

10/10 Exceptional

It was a nice and very clean space. 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?
