Would not stay af

Would only recommend if you’re staying one night, are a heavy sleeper and need to get up really early. Pros: Plenty of places to eat in the area Close to old town and balboa park Good water pressure in shower Room had plenty of space Cons: Noisy - no soundproofing, so you get noise from the street and adjoining rooms Blinds are thin and don’t block any light No kettle or coffee maker or toaster No bathroom cabinet, just a toilet next to the shower No servicing, so you don’t get toilet paper topped up or rubbish removed during your stay No drawers or wardrobe/hanging space for clothes Kitchen crockery was just a corkscrew and butter knife Air conditioning didn’t work There was no laundry facilities (hotels.com said there was)

Disliked: Amenities
The bed is up a ladder you have to climb to get to it. The ceiling is only 6 feet tall in the little room that has the bed in it. There’s no cable or satellite television. It’s just a Roku TV so if you don’t have access, don’t book it here. There’s no front desk. In fact there’s no one that works here. You have to call a phone number paste it outside the gate to get the code to get in. Not very user-friendly the bed was very comfortable. Other than that I have nothing else. Good to say. The restaurant downstairs for breakfast was excellent.

I had a very smooth check-in. Just checked in on the building’s website. They gave me a passcode to get through the front gate passcode for the elevator and a passcode for the room. The room was pretty unique, sort of whimsical and fun. The bed was so comfortable I slept a full eight hours each night, which is very odd for me. I would definitely recommend staying here while in San Diego
