This accommodation is not a hotel. It is a hostel. The price seems good for San Diego at first, but they surprise you with a $25 a day surcharge for "amenities" (a coffee machine and cheap packaged breakfast items). With how much you end up paying, you might as well book a nicer hotel. The rooms were very very small. There is only one bathroom for an entire floor, so you have to share it with many rooms. One of the bathrooms was out of order for 2 days, so guests were made to shower upstairs. There was no privacy in the bathroom, as the windows were left open. The staff were friendly and helpful though.

Limited towels and cheap ones too. Noisy, especially in the weekends. Check out is at 10am rather than 11am. Honestly, stay away

Excellent customer service. They delivered fresh towels when I asked at midnight. This was a totally unexpected service. Bravo!

It has a nice look inside and out. The surrounding area is really nice and little Italy is so cool. The biggest downside is in the shared bathroom, the shower was not draining. The water was up to my ankles. So then I question even though the bathroom looks clean, why was this not fixed or was it not noticed. Luckily, another bathroom down the hall was a lot better. Ample coffee around too but I'm unsure how often they change the water in it.

Property was awesome for a hostile. They kept the bathrooms clean, and the property itself is in really good shape and updated. Only complaint is that room service didn’t come into our room once to clean up. Also, we didn’t know it was a hostel. It turned out being OK but you have a shared bathroom with everybody.

Great location with restaurants a short walk away. Personal AI concierge, very helpful and responsive. There is no human present at the property. The property felt very secured with double and triple code required entrances. The decor is contemporary and of good taste. The only disappointment for me was the level of FLOORS cleaninness … in spite of all the positives the floors scream of needing serious attention. The fountain at the entrance is nice and yet sitting in that area I just kept looking at the dirty corners and floor stains. The shared bathroom also has floors that should be throughly scrubbed and bleached.

I was very surprised with the quality and the price, I got a deal on Expedia and only paid $50 for one night. It was beautiful, quiet, and it was nice once you turned on the A/C and huge fan above the bed, the private bathroom was clean with modern but classic look to it and was very beautiful all around. Outside the room there was the main entrance with their waterfall and off to the side a lounge area with complimentary snacks a coffee station ready to go for those that need to get out early and fast like me for flights. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling or just wanting to adventure while visiting San Diego. Its also great for those with social anxiety because everything is self serve and done through text. 10/10 recommended and will return.
