It was not what I thought it would be - sticky concrete floors - it states it has a bar - it has a coffee bar. Very cold and unpersonable.

The room is very strange. Had to climb a steep ladder to get to bed. Smelled very strongly Of some cleaner used. Security is a pain. Code for elevator, room door and exit door. There is no personal interaction with anyone. Strange spot.

Good location, not good condition
Furniture was incredibly soiled. Did not feel comfortable sitting on it without a towel. Door lock kept malfunctioning, had to hold to door itself at certain angle to get it to close. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way, dragged on the floor.

Cute Boutique Hotel
Cute little boutique hotel in Hillcrest neighborhood. Area appeared safe and had no issues during stay. Great security measures in place in a gated building. Rooms were small but adequate for their purpose. Only complaint was the small ackward bathroom set up in the units i stayed in. Would definitely consider this property again with a future stay in San Diego.

This loft was awesome, exactly what we needed for us and our friends (two couples). Two separate rooms/bathrooms made it private but there’s a shared space to chill with your friends. It was clean, modern and inviting. Would love to stay again!

Great property in the best neighborhood! I am a solo traveler. My room had a curtain over the shower and toilet ( no wall) which was fine by me but maybe not for groups. The restaurant downstairs was amazing and all of the staff was so wonderful

Property was close to everything. Property was clean. However, elevator broke Friday night and climbing 5 flights of stairs was not ideal. Made the stay a lot less desirable specially when parking was not close by.

Stay somewhere else.
We decided not to stay there. Homeless people right out the front door. No carpet in the room. $25.00 parking in a poorly lit lot.

More like a youth hotel. Homeless people in the front of the hotel and back. No central air conditioning. The sink of the bathroom is the toilet…
