Everything was just walking distance and it seem like it was just me at the whole build no lines. I enjoyed that and the rules where easy to follow. Definitely will book again. I love the Sports bar infront, Barleymash.

One of the best locations to stay in Gaslamp. Everything is walking distance. The rooms are well ventilated and decent size to relax and re energize.
The only downside is that the room did not come with an iron or hair dryer. Besides that, it was a great place. I would definitely come back to stay there.

The host was responsive and helpful. Great location. Is located next to a busy restaurant but room was still quiet. Showers and restrooms were clean. I felt safe.

The property is in a good location. However, my door handle felt a bit broken although you don't need it because of the electronic lock. Overall the location met my needs. However, i feel that some of the interior could be improved and would have liked some capability of storing luggage securely which is something i often use on the day i'm checking out.

Four night stay
Newly furnished room. Nice fridge, nice microwave, nice decor overall. But very noisy location, on top of a bar! Loud music till past midnight and some nights 2 am. Like the floor was shaking. Didn’t warn me. When I reach out to change room, manager declined. This was a business trip, needed good night sleep, but didn’t get any. Oh one more thing, bed sheets were paper thin. Good bar and food in walking distance.

There's no bathroom in the room. I'm a frequent traveler and I've never worried about whether a hotel room has a bathroom or not.

I would not stay there again there is no bathroom/shower in your room. You have to leave your room just to use bathroom/showers that are in the hallway

It was advertised as a Hotel. It is a Hostel, there is no parking. The front door has a Padlock on it and the only way to get in is with a code. The front sign is covered in graffiti and stickers.

Very Bad Experience – Would Not Recommend
This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The room wasn’t very clean, and there was no private bathroom or shower — you have to share with everyone on the floor. The shower door didn’t lock from the inside, so anyone could walk in while it was occupied, which felt very unsafe.
My room was directly above a night bar, and the loud music from 8 PM until 2 AM made it impossible to rest, especially when I had to wake up at 6 AM for work. On top of that, there was a strong smell of cigarettes (or something similar) throughout the area.
There was no thermostat in the room, so you couldn’t adjust the temperature for comfort. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It’s not suitable for rest, work trips, or anyone expecting basic comfort and privacy.

Extremely unsafe place, dirty bathrooms, small window that leads somewhere very loud. Moreover, a lot of people that stay in this "hotel" do some illegal things. If you have any other options, dont go there

8/10 Very good
The picture in the add is nothing like the place. They should really change that, although I understand why they would take a picture of the outside because it looks like a downtown hotel that sells rooms by the hour.
However, inside the rooms are renovated clen and modern. They have a fridge, a coffee maker, a microwave, and a tv with streaming services, so it’s cozy enough to kick it in.
You’re in the center of the Gaslamp and all the attractions are walkable. Super convenient for conventions, or music festivals.
Then there’s the shared bathroom situation. So clean, and the showers are their own private rooms as well as the toilets.
I was very pleasantly surprised.
If you are coming to SD with a group to have some fun l ventana would be a great place to rent with them.

nonexistent customer service
I tried to cancel late for the 50% fee, but they never recognized by cancellation and kept reaching out to me to check in. I still should’ve received 50% discount for a no-show, but the stupid lack of a concierge did not even realize that I was never there. Now they are refusing to refund my 50%.

I would avoid this hostel at ALL COST. Read this before you book!
1. the host didn't provide any check-in instruction until we text them through the app.
2. The property phone number is not reachable!
3. there is NO LOCK in their shower, EXCUSE ME?
4. Our lock was out of battery, and we were locked out. The host asked us to buy a battery, promised will reimburse us, but still NOT after 14 days?
5. There was no internet for about 16 hours, and the host didn't seem to care until we ask and ask again the next day

The place was awful. The entire hotel smelled dirty, and the shared bathrooms were filthy. There were drunk residents partying loudly all night, and no staff or attendant was present to handle the situation. I couldn’t get any sleep and felt completely unsafe. Definitely not worth the money, and I would never stay here again.

I showed up, and the management had sent me the wrong room #, and I could not get ahold of anybody to get into my room. I waited over an hour and was very late for a concert that I had tickets to. It was very frustrating not having a phone # to call when I couldn’t get into my room:/ I wouldn’t suggest a stay here unfortunately.
