Abpopa Hillcrest

The check in was contactless but painless and convenient. This isn’t how conventional hotels are but I like it for what it is. It’s close to restaurants and shops.

I really WANTED to like this hotel, as it’s independent and eclectic. Sadly, it’s the second worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms are utterly impractical. There is no closet, and not even hooks and hangers. There is a single “overcoat” hook by the front door. There is no bathroom. The toilet and shower are in the living room behind a moveable screen. There are two sets of steps (two steps each), one leading to the galley “kitchen” (just a counter, sink, mini fridge, microwave, and a few cupboards. The last set leads to the bed, which takes up the entire landing. The bed is ridiculously low, making it very difficult to get up from it, and the mattress was very uncomfortable. If you have ANY mobility issues, this is a death trap. It’s very easy to fall. The promotional materials don’t reveal the full impractical nature of the rooms. Hotels.com should de-platform this hotel, and the hotel should be investigated for ADA issues.

Front desk worker Paul was very nice and respectful & overall was a excellent and fun room for the night

Great tiny little hotel next to everything in the Gaslamp area of San Diego.

This is a cute hotel however you can tell that it was refurbished from a old apartment building. Although it was a spacious room there really wasn’t space for a woman to properly get ready. I had to do my make up in the mirror that was above the kitchen sink. The bed was very uncomfortable, although the sheets were comfortable, but it did not have a boxsprings. So you felt every single metal from the bed-frame. Outside there were multiple drug addicts hanging in front of the building and next-door at 7 eleven. Parking was not explained. We parked on the street. We did not get a ticket thank God.

Did not sleep at all!! So much noise outside the windows! Trash truck started at 5am. From 3-5am it was gang cars playing reallly really loud music. I even recorded it. The chairs in the room were filthy dirty with stains.

Always love my stay at Abpopa Hillcrest, one of my favorite hotels! Great location and hotel is stylish with great art

Loved the hotel - check in was so easy - staff was responsive - only note I would give to people is that the bathroom is not a private bathroom, just separated by a divider

The view of the rooms are amaing
