Lots of homeless people on streets in that area… but once you’re in the building it feels safe. Great and interesting rooms and decor… each room is different and each time I’ve stayed I’ve had a whole different experience. I like it and gooseberries (the restaurant downstairs.) is amazing!

It's a great location. Plenty of bars and restaurants you can walk to. It's a quirky space with excellent views. Lots of windows. It can get a little hot in the afternoon. Just shut some of the blinds and the AC will catch up. The bed was comfy. The stairs up to the bed took a little time to get use to.

I don’t say this often, but staying here genuinely elevated my stay in Hillcrest. It was wondering to be within walking distance to numerous restaurants and clubs. The facility felt safe and well maintained. Despite This being my first self-checkin experience, the hotel team made everything flawless. Thank you for the wonderful stay! I hope to be back soon.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Support staff was fine, but the room was poor with cold cement floors and the HVAC system needed multiple trips by staff to get it working. Sink faucet was loose and so was the toilet. I would not stay there again.

No one is really there, you enter with codes, you ride the elevator with codes, you get in your room with codes. Outside entry is unlit, at night, a risk. It's next door, or a door up, to a place like a 7/11, full of junkies, folks sprawled on the sidewalk, or standing about, you walk past this, to the dark gate and enter an entry code (suggest you do it quickly!) I would rate it, high risk at night and I'm a big guy. The room seemed like it might be cleaned weekly. The sink is part of the toilet tank. You straddle the toilet bowel, to wash your hands, face. The view, is not like the photos. I rented the better room " "Premier Studio, City View"and my windows looked into a CLOSE adjoining property, I to keep the shades down. I had prepaid my room through Expedia $368.54, for two nights. I have my credit card set, to immediately notify me of a charge. After I checked out, a charge of $801. popped up on my Visa, it took several calls to get them to acknowledge the error/charge. Then a few more to reaffirm it wasn't put on my card. it, by no means, looked like the one in the photo, if there is one like that, it's a bet you'll get it, even though you are paying more, my room was quite small. There is free street parking in the neighborhood, a block away, glad I didn't pay the parking fee (2 hours parking after 10AM, so, just get to your car by noon ;)
