Parking the only issue and got a parking ticket aswell with money in the meter 😔
This hotel will be my go-to in San Diego—excellent value for the location. The staff was friendly, and it was convenient being near Orange Theory for a good workout. The room was small but comfortable, and perfect for our stay, especially after a night out in the Gaslamp Area.
actually super cute modern style hotel in the center of san diego! if you’re looking to stay somewhere fairly priced, especially for an event (concert for ex) everything’s pretty much in walking distance or cheap ubers! It is small so definitely something for couples or if you’re going alone for business or self-discovery! I would say the only downside is being next to busy streets so traffic can get loud but if you’re a deep sleeper, like me, it won’t bother you (they also supply white a noise machine and ear plugs to help!)

The property is well managed and it looks great, my only issue was the room was a lot smaller than it looks in the online photos. No chairs in the room either

The ac smelled funny and it smelled like urine outside. Nice building and room but just needs some more attention and people might help.
If you stay here ask for a room away from the road or don’t stay here at all. The room I had was too loud to sleep in due to being right by a noisy intersection, even with earplugs and sound machine. With $200 Bose active noise cancellation on top of the other two, I could sleep but they’re not the most comfortable.
