4/10 Fair

I was seriously disappointed

The lobby was nice and it felt like I made the correct choice. Until I entered the room. The room looked nothing like the pictures I saw. It was super tiny. It didn't even look like it was finished. Lots of raw wood construction with no paint. There were literal ladders you had to climb to get up to the sleeping areas. The sleeping areas that only had about three and a half feet of ceiling space. Very claustrophobic. I would have been better off booking a hostel. Not happy with the experience. I won't be back.

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.

Bare bones but I’d visit again

I had difficulty getting on WiFi but finally managed it. Someone is always available by phone even though there is no desk. The parking is not gated nor does it have cameras so I felt parking was expensive for no security. It was a convenient hotel for me.

Ok

The photo on the hotel website is way far from real life. It doesn’t look like it at all. Comfort wise is ok. When we checked in I felt rush and no instructions.
