Close to everything

Great tiny little hotel next to everything in the Gaslamp area of San Diego.

Great room.. weird bathroom

This hotel was perfect location in Hillcrest. The room was great… lots of windows and great views while in bed. Nice living space and kitchen… comfortable bed. The weird and disappointing thing was the bathroom which was a toilet and shower behind a black plywood partition… so sharing this room, you want to have a comfort level with your partner. But beautiful room for sure.. not sure if all the rooms are… and Vincent was awesome helping with check in and information.

Great option to hotel chains

Great little spot with friendly staff who were always willing to help. Beds was comfortable, water pressure in the shower was great. Would stay again
Ryan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the hotel - check in was so easy - staff was responsive - only note I would give to people is that the bathroom is not a private bathroom, just separated by a divider

Modern comfortable hotel with cool vibe

We travel to San Diego for work several times a year. This was a new hotel for us to try. We loved it. A very cool, modern and hip vibe. A beautiful room. And a wonderful restaurant downstairs was great as well.

Check in was easy and the location was convenient. Parking good too. I will be back
Raymond, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was very unique and the rooms were tastefully constructed and decorated. The cafe in the “lobby” area was the highlight - staff and offerings made the stay so inviting and comfortable.
Casey, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Cute but….

This is a cute hotel however you can tell that it was refurbished from a old apartment building. Although it was a spacious room there really wasn’t space for a woman to properly get ready. I had to do my make up in the mirror that was above the kitchen sink. The bed was very uncomfortable, although the sheets were comfortable, but it did not have a boxsprings. So you felt every single metal from the bed-frame. Outside there were multiple drug addicts hanging in front of the building and next-door at 7 eleven. Parking was not explained. We parked on the street. We did not get a ticket thank God.
Serena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Drains back up here, seemingly just a part of the San Diego water-crisis (and all that implies). Been here many (3+) times: drains, all of them, back up. Otherwise very nice place; great cafe downstairs; easy-going check in and out.

Great place in a funky neighborhood. The staff was incredibly nice. Cute cafe & vinyl store on the main level….made my day.

I wanna stay there again for sure

I like the big windows, There is blinds for PRIVACY BUT ITS UP TO U OPEN or CLOSED?
Gustavo, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Mark, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very unique hotel close to UCSD AND good restaurants. Ver comfy bed, huge ceilings and windows, conveniently located. Nice Manager/owner Paul.
SUSAN, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Bathrooms are not private so if you’re traveling with a group, maybe don’t share the room. Nice spot for 2, but it’s very noisy. Bring ear plugs.
Carolina, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed

We were really disappointed. The room is like a college apartment with a motor home kitchen and bathroom. The floor to ceiling windows drew us in but unfortunately the thin shades kept the bedrooms bright at night. Also, we heard a lot of noise and full conversations of the homeless people throughout the night. It didn’t feel safe walking around at night with our family either. Positives were proximity of restaurants and Zoo.
