We were pleased with this hotel. It is suitable for active young travelers who just need an inexpensive place to rest at night. Our room was on the first floor and overlooked the street, but there was no noise and even the fan in the room worked quietly. Good location, we walked everywhere. You can heat up food and make capsule coffee. The hotel is clean and cozy. Always in touch with the administration via the app. We arrived late in the evening, but thanks to the instructions we easily got to the hotel. The overall impression is pleasant, the only negative is the lack of a table to eat. It seems that this hotel has different rooms, you should choose a suitable room in advance.

Location was in good walking distance of downtown and little italy also a quick uber ride to these places. The room was clean and tidy, it was easy to get comfortable. I would just be mindful of the room you are getting as it may appear larger in photos but honestly still a cozy for me. Its just being mindful on what to expect. Overall I had a great experience staying and with their service they were very kind to me and my partner and went above and beyond to improve our stay.

We went to San Diego for our anniversary and this hotel ruined our whole stay. When we arrived at 12:30 the doors were locked and we called the number shown on the paper outside the building to be let in to drop off our bags. We were told we couldn’t go in until we checked in which was 4PM. We were only there for 2 and half days so to be walking around with our bags was a big no. After talking to an Expedia agent we were let in right away and also got our room(around 1:40pm). We were happy that they tried to accommodate us until we saw that the room they gave us didn’t have a bathroom. The communal bathroom in front of room 105 would only get cleaned once a day in the morning. The sink in our room was clogged and the water would rise up. The room was very hot and only had a ceiling fan that barely did anything. The walls are paper thin I could hear the construction being done in the room in front of 105. I couldn’t sleep because there was noise coming from the room next to us and the one upstairs. Our room looked nothing like the pictures , maybe it was the next in line to get remodeling lol whatever it was it ruined our San Diego anniversary trip. I was excited to visit San Diego but after this stay I couldn’t wait to go back home.

I would have liked to have a chair in my room. The only place to sit was on the bed. I was also surprised that there was no sir conditioning, but luckily the temperature was not bad. The airplanes constantly flying overhead were very loud. Sharing a bathroom was definitely a new experience, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
