Interesting & cool vibe. Room rented was a new experience, the bathroom in the room was unique since it has a shower curatin for a door. Literally there is NO door. Highly recommend putting in a barn door or a pocket door to allow privacy. Privacy is important. The idea to keep the eco-vibe is cool but a bathroom DOOR is needed. Key to lobby floor bathroom would help. Limited parking, expensive for not guarantee or reserved spot. Front desk staff was cool & friendly.

I knew this was a "different" kind of hotel when I was told after I booked that there was no front desk or staff on property and you just use a code to get into the building and your room. Ok I'm fine with that even if it is odd. My biggest issues were the parking and room itself. Parking: There are maybe 10 parking spots for this whole hotel. When we arrived (at 3pm) all spots were already taken. If you can get a spot its $25 for the night but you CANT leave. If you leave and someone takes your spot, oh well. Guess you just wasted $25. There's a huge parking lot next door but it will cost you $100 to park for the night. So we ended up hunting for street parking and found a spot 2 blocks away. This meant we couldn't leave without fear of losing our spot. So we were essentially stuck at the hotel. Luckily there is some stuff to do within walking distance. The Room: The room has tons of windows, which is nice in theory. However, there are no black out shades! So at 7am when the sun comes up the room is flooded with light. Hope you didn't plan on sleeping in. The bed was comfortable but is insanely squeaky. Any move you make is LOUD. But the weirdest thing was the bathroom. There isn't one! It is a toilet and shower in the middle of the room! No walls but just a foldable screen type thing that offers some "privacy". But not really because it doesn't even go up to the ceiling. So whoever you're sharing the room with will hear and smell everything. Talk about uncomfortable!

Not much of a hotel, more like an Airbnb that was crudely constructed from a studio apartment extremely hot no fans no ventilation for the same price. If not cheaper, you can get a really nice hotel in the surrounding area. I definitely will not be staying there again.

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.

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.
