This place was awesome. Excellent location in downtown, safe, secure, and easy to go to and from. We absolutely loved it here and will likely be staying here again. 3 blocks from Petco park, and 3 blocks from 5th street where all the action is, this place was perfect. Highly recommend!!!

This is a great location. You can walk a few blocks to the Padres stadium, a few blocks to the trollies or the bay, etc. It’s very safe and private with 3 separate codes (gate, building, unit). The room was clean, high ceilings, well-stocked. Staff was very responsive even after 11pm.
