The lobby should be updated to match the rooms. Don't be taken aback for the look of the entrance, the room is pretty nice.

Excelent hotel recently renovated. The room is spacious, updated and really clean. The staff is super attentive. They gave me all kind of suggestions to make the most of my stay. And the location is perfect; walking distance to Balboa Park, LIttle Italy or Downtown.

Good stay overall. Room is quite small and the bed is narrow. A fan keeps it slightly cooler in the room. The walk downtown is about 20 minutes. There's street parking available, sometimes at a cost.

I did not like the absence of a sink in the bathroom (there is one in the main room to wash dishes). Quite expensive but that’s a San Diego feature (or a bug). It’s a bit noisy because of planes landing but windows are good and they do the job

Very friendly stuff, they agreed to keep luggage for the checkout day. I liked the presence of a laundry which helped me with my 2-week trip. Position is 10 min walking from the harbour and in a decent neighbourhood. Very close to balboa park

Being remodeled, so construction was a little loud during the day. Otherwise, it's a very nice place.

The location was sketchy at night. I didn’t realize there were shared bathrooms that you had to walk to from your room. The shared bathroom did not have any shelving space for clothes, towels, etc. except for a small nook inside the shower for soaps. The windows in the room are right on the sidewalk (first floor) and it feels like people can look in, BUT were able to be concealed with blinds. No shelves under the TV to hook up a Nintendo switch in the hotel room and the TV was pretty high up. My boyfriend said the pillows were pretty stiff. There was construction going on during the day but stopped before we got back to the room at 10PM.

Location close to many tourist attractions/downtown and the front doors are locked with a keypad. Forgot to ask for hotel parking but was able to park overnight in front and on the side of the hotel. The room was cozy and cheap. The full bed was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I. The shared bathrooms were nice, pretty clean, and had a huge shower. The staff had great customer service and the lobby was pretty.

Just be careful when booking your room because there are options for a shared community bathroom which I didn’t see and I accidentally booked for that room but the staff were able to switch me to a room with a private bathroom. Also the first room we got was very small and the bed sheets were dirty but when we switched rooms to the one with a private bathroom it was very clean and spacious.

Great location and really friendly staff.

The hotel, while the rooms themselves are comfortable, does show its age in a few ways. The most notable of these for me was the buildings centralised air-conditioning/heating system, as opposed to room-by-room temperature control. For a large portion of my stay the air conditioning was on full blast through a vent in the ceiling, making my room absolutely freezing. Attempting to close the vent didn't have much affect on the temperature, but did make the vent very loud as the fast airflow whistled through the narrow gaps. As difficult as renovations may be, any kind of system to regulate the temperature room-by-room would fix this problem, and would have dramatically improved the quality and comfort of my stay. The staff were very gracious and conscious of this, adjusting the building's heat where possible, but according to them some of the other guests' rooms were very hot, and it is not ideal to have some rooms be freezing and others boiling, but only one setting for the air conditioning. The shower in my bathroom was also not very impressive. The water was cold and didn't flow particularly well from the old shower head Also, a little more attention to detail could have been applied in the cleaning process. While the room in general was very clean, some of the higher shelves still had little bits of mess on them when I entered the room. Lastly, as a minor point - modern updates such as USB charging points would have been appreciated to better accommodate more modern gadgets as well as international travellers such as myself, who only have a limited number of USA plug adapters.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was of a good size. There was lots of shelf and cupboard storage space, which was excellent. Lots of towels were provided, as well as flannels for washing, which was very convenient. The location of this hotel is excellent, being right next to Balboa Park, which is full of interesting things to see/do as well as lots of nice places to eat in the surrounding area, and is also a short walk from Little Italy, which has even more nice places to eat. It has space at the roadside for a convenient uber/taxi pick up also, and is close enough to the main roads/freeway that it doesn't take long to get a taxi ride to anywhere in particular I.e the beach, the harbour, the airport, or the Santa Fe Depot train station. The pin system for the front door is a good system from a security standpoint, the building didn't feel at all unsafe. The staff were also very helpful with advice and with attempting to help with any issues faced.

No parking and the a/c was SO cold! It was central so we couldn’t adjust from our room

Very clean and the room is totally new!

I had an injury that required me to stay in room one day. They are updating rooms so a bit of construction noise (not at NIGHT), but I am sure this is not a common occurrence. It is nice they want to make there place up to date.

Great staff and room was very clean.

In a good location. In between lots of main points for you to visit around the area

Unfortunately had to remind the staff few times to clean the room and change the sheets. The room had a ceiling fan, but not the air-conditioner.

The staff was very helpful and nice. And the hotel itself was clean. The location is excellent, close to Balboa Park, and a walking range from downtown.
