The room was very spacious but the layout was weird, bathrooms weren't really "rooms" but exposed toilets and tubin the room, kitchen sink was also the bathroom vanity. Floors felt sticky, carpet felt greasy. Window coverings did not block out blaring lights from 7-11, gas station and surrounding sketchy neighborhood

The location of this property can't be beat. It is more of an air bnb and not a hotel. The room/restroom is a very open which can be fun if you like your toilet in the living room. :) The area around the hotel is sketchy after dark but I never felt unsafe. You can walk to everything in the Hillcrest area which is its saving grace.

This met our most important need which was location to our 2 events nearby. The place was fine and we'd like to stay another time but were not fond of the loft bed - it was really hot up there (unusually hot weekend didn't help). The staff were helpful and the restaurant inside was great.

Hotel was bare bones. They included cheap shampoo and a thin bar soap. Had to go buy toiletries. There’s no separate restroom only a door that turns the toilet and shower into a cubicle. There are no room keys it’s run by code similar to Saunder hotels. No daily housekeeping either. My room was also dirty. Likely wouldn’t repeat but convenient location.

Check staff provided a friendly and very helpful service. There were some problems not of their making and they dealt with them in a very professional and caring manner. Great little spot in an interesting area. Lots of eating options close by.

The loft style room was super fun. Very secure as you needed multiple codes to get in. Lots of good restaurants in walking distance and other attractions within a 20 minute drive.

I really don’t want to say anything good because this was a good find. A little hidden gem. The room was clean and had a little extra with a fridge/freezer and a microwave. The location was perfect for what I was looking for. Easy walk to the local gay bars. Restaurants all walking distance. I definitely will be staying again.

Loved staying here! EXCELLENT views from front and bed loft windows. Nice super-comfortable bed. I could live in it! The door in/out of my room was stuck (too heavy for the hinges and no wheels on bottom) so I had to push it to open or close. Otherwise nice quality room with just the right amount of stuff to make it comfortable. Things I would change 1. Make clear description of the codes, ie, instead of “door/gate code,” it could be “back door & front gate code.” Carrying luggage, bags, laptop with so many doors and multiple codes please make it easier for us to understand it quickly and not have to put everything down to reinterpret the messages. Thanks. 2) Parking is terrible so at least make it a little easier for us. If you can’t offer free parking, then help us to where we can park & pay, as in where is the alleyway to the building? (I was driving at night and couldn’t find the front entrance. That’s something you should be concerned about.) Also, we should know in advance that the park & pay is going to be $25 a day and that it includes spaces in the parking garage, as well as those in the alleyway outside the garage. Major disappointment there. Parking in the residential area 3 blocks away is not a good option for travelers with luggage.

We've stayed at the Abpopa several times. The rooms are quirky but always clean and comfortable. The location is unbeatable. Countless restaurants, bars and shopping opportunities within a block or two. Management is very attentive and goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need for a great stay.
