Chenyun, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

I liked that the rooms were simple and functional. Inside was really nice. The neighborhood was a little questionable and there is only on street parking available. Close to the airport

this stay was super good, me and my partner stayed at this place for our first time in california together, it’s very small and cozy. we slept comfortably and had no issues with service or anything. staff was very helpful, not sure if there is staff on site but we mostly messaged our staff through the hotel itself and they were very quick at responding and very helpful!

Juan, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
DIANA, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

There’s no front desk to help with anything and the area around has a lot of homeless. At 3am I woke up to a massive fight outside my room that lasted a couple hours and wasn’t able to sleep. Also the shared bathrooms aren’t very clean.
Luke, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Bed was comfy but I got charged $100 for a broken garbage disposal that I never used once
Ben, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

Hector, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This historic building has been updated and is really beautifully decorated. We strongly recommend reading the posting thoroughly as not all rooms have their own bathroom nor showering facilities, but rather, share with other guests. Fellow guests were respectful, the bed was very comfortable, and the check-in/check-out process was easy. The property is not staffed at all times but we did not have any issues with this. Great quick, easy overnight!
Taylor Rose, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Nicholas, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

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.
Petr, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Perfect stay!

Perfect stay! Contactless check in and out. Super clean, comfy bed, big shower. Very conveniently located, great price!
Tara D, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Carol, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

Horrible place. Not a hotel a scam. Bathroom not in the room. Overpriced for what they provide
