It was very nice, the sleep was good, blowing the back parking lot was loud but the room was clean. Soaps in the bathroom could be liquid soaps not tiny bar soaps. Could offer a bottle of water to the guests, they are expensive. Thank you

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.

I booked a Deluxe Queen room for my wife and after checking in, found out it had a bunk bed instead of the Queen. Made it work, but wasn’t as romantic of a night as it could have been. Also, the room was hot; I couldn’t sleep with my wife on the bottom bunk, so I slept on top (closer to the fan).

Close to downtown’ SD’s, Gaslamp as noted making all of San Diego’s exciting attractions accessible in the coolest way! And while close to the Highway it’s strikingly quiet!

My initial reservation I was given a room without an attached bathroom. Bathroom would be next to it that others could use. Ew! No!. I was then given a room that had a bath, but was shockingly small. About 2 feet around the bed. It was clean and was equipped with dishes for two to include wine glasses. There was no room for a chair. Bed was only seating. It had a nice TV, coffee pot with real coffee cups, sm fridge. No hair dryer that I would have liked. I won’t go there again. The reservation agent was extremely nice and helpful though.

Parking in a nearby lot costs $40 per day. CVS, a Mexican food joint, and a coffee shop are within walking distance. Gaslamp area is also within walking distance.

Lovely place convenient location. A bit noisy during the night. Parking is not the best. Stag was great and very helpful

For one or two nights it’s a decent place for more than that, pay more and get a real hotel. They don’t clean the room and don’t change the sheets and towels.

The room was very small. No parking for customers. It was scary to leaymy car on the main street since we saw homeless people around the streets.

2-night trip

8/10

Overall it was a pretty good stay. The room and bathroom were clean. Not too many people on staff but the ones that were on are pretty helpful. The price is reasonable. The only con(s) for me is that there is no parking lot. Only street parking and most of it, you have to pay for. There are some free spots but they get taken quick or can be a bit of a walk to get to. And the neighborhood doesn't feel the safest. I feel it's good for a night, maybe 2 but not for anything longer and if you're on a budget. It was decent and there was more good than bad. Enough to appreciate
