    My stay was great, small room but very clean and cute. I didn’t get my code to enter through the main entrance and code for my room, but you can call the number on the main entrance door and they will provide it to you after you confirm your personal information.

    Nice courtyard with outdoor seating and yard games. Squeaky clean room. Great place!

    Amazing

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The rooms are fairly small. Perfect for simple over nights. Noise isn’t too bad at night.

    Conveniently located to Downtown San Diego in an historic building. On demand hot water cooler was very helpful and the guests and staff were very friendly.

    Room was disgusting. Sheets had stains and obviously weren’t washed, there was trash laying all over the room when I checked in. Don’t stay here, go to an actual hotel.

    The location is a perfect middle ground to the military bases, downtown activities, and the beach. Parking on the street is free 8pm-8am. There are different room sizes available so choose wisely. I chose a smaller room for my temporary stay. The room is so cute and overly clean. There is a fridge, microwave, smart tv, and a few other basic amenities. I definitely recommend this for your short or long term stays.

    Rummet jag hade bokat var väldigt litet, det var precis plats till en säng men annars fanns det både kylskåp, mikrovågsugn, hårtork och strykjärn + strykbräda. Rummet var för 1-2 personer men jag skulle säga det var ett enkelrum, det hade varit jobbigt att vara två personer på den lilla ytan. Badrummet var litet och som en förlängning av rummet med skjutdörr och därinne fanns det enda fönstret. Det var en liten besvikelse, trodde jag hade bokat ett rum med fönster ut. Ingen daglig rengöring, vilket var okej för mig, man kunde alltid skriva i chatten till dem om man behövde nya handdukar till exempel. Dock tyckte jag de kunde ha tömt soporna varannan dag, jag fick själv gå ut till en städerska och be om ny påse. Det var väldigt lyhörd och det fanns öronproppar på rummet. Om man bara ska ha ett hotellrum som övernattning så är det ett bra budgetval men om man vill vistas en del på rummet (som i mitt fall som skulle springa ett lopp) så skulle jag välja en annan rumstyp eller annat hotell.

    Booked a room and there was no one even there to check me in so I wasn’t able to get inside the building or get my code for my room

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great communication from the property owners. The check-in process was smooth, and I had no troubles. I got lucky with street parking:) Just as mentioned, expect some noise outdoors secondary to its location. My one small gripe is the bathroom had a ‘mildewy’ smell—but that probably comes from the plumbing and pipes in those types of buildings in general. Overall, would stay again:)

    All good

    Todo al 100%

    The codes that was sent in order to get into the hotel was really good. The spaces around the hotel was very neat and well kept. The colors that were in the hotel brought out a little happiness in you and it was overall very fun to stay at especially for the location.

    Better response time would be better; took awhile to get the codes to enter the property and my room. Would also be nice to have bigger towels; they were a bit small to dry off with after showering. Besides all that; great place. Clean; newly renovated. Front desk guy was cool. One thing I did have issue with was the homelessness. Shady characters hanging around the property. Would be nice if the property owners/managers had a nice relationship with SDPD to help move/keep the homeless out of the area. Besides all that; I’d rate my stay 4.5/5 stars.

    The place is not bad — for the price, it’s acceptable. However, it was strange to have a bathroom without a washbasin and to have to shave in the kitchen. The people are friendly while you’re there, but they do not respond to requests once you leave. Even now, one month later, I’m still trying to get the invoice for my payment and I’m still waiting. Not a great experience in that way., otherwise, an okay place to stay in you have a low budget.

    It was a little bit loud sometimes, you could hear the neighbors arguing. The room was small but it's fine. Also there was no elevator, so we had to take our luggage to the second floor by ourselves.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The room was nice and cozy, had a kitchenette. A big screen TV, with Netflix and Hulu. The room was a lil small but for the price I could not complain..

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Could use a chair or bedside table.

    The deluxe studio had a nice layout/setup. It was perfect for two people. The hotel's location is pretty central to San Diego, so it's easy to get around to the various areas and attractions. The refrigerator wasn't really cold enough. The nearby parking lots they referred to were supposedly closed for an event, but remained empty for the entire stay.

    This place was great! Parking was easy and great at communication
