The staff here is exceptional. I had a minor problem with a crazy family member (by marriage) and the staff handled it with discretion. I really appreciate that type of customer service its invaluable.

One night

Booked a one night stay here. Front desk was helpful. Didn’t like paying for parking but that’s San Diego for you. Loved that the garage was not easy to access for outside people but the elevator took you right to it. Rooms are small but cute and good for 2 people. There’s a sink with some dishes available which was very convenient. Beds were comfortable and a/c worked great. Would stay here again.

The property wasn’t bad; the parking was horrible, they charge per night to park onsite but offer no real alternative to parking except street parking which is at times very hard to find! There is no area to load and unload baggage at the front of the property. The staff was very friendly.

The pictures are deceiving; the room is the size of a new york studio apartment. Theres no phone in the room to call the lobby, the iron you borrow from the front desk is very old, only one elevator, and make sure to have the AC blasting when you shower because if there's too much steam coming from it, the fire alarm will go off.

It was a great stay for what we needed. We didnt plan to stay in the hotel for most of the trip. We needed a place to sleep and this location was perfect! Close to everything that we wanted to do/visit. Rooms were a good size just for us 2. Like i said we just needed a place to sleep. All the front desk were super friendly and helpful!

The room was small. Bed comfortable. I like that I could walk in all directions in the neighborhood and find stores, restaurants, markets. We had construction noise early in the morning. Parking was a bit tricky but they do have it for an extra charge. It was a nice stay and I would visit again and recommend.
