The cozy room was perfect for my boyfriend and me, and we loved the big shower in the shared bathroom. Relaxation was easy with the lovely lobby and access to nearby parks. The room was a bit snug, but it didn’t impact our stay at all. definitely ask about parking before arriving! 😊

Clean and comfortable rooms.
I had a deeply unsettling experience during my stay. The noise levels were unbearable, with shouting and sirens ongoing throughout the night. The surrounding neighborhood felt dangerous, and street parking was a nightmare, adding to my stress. I couldn't shake the feeling of being unsafe, especially when we noticed markings on our car that implied it could be stolen.

Single Stay Excellent Experience
The bed was comfortable and there was lots of shelf and cupboard storage space. Plus, the staff were very helpful and provided great advice on local attractions.
It wasn’t cheap but still acceptable.

Charming Stay with Local Flavor
I truly enjoyed my three-night stay. The vibrant neighborhood vibe and local eateries nearby made for delightful evenings. While my Queen Room with Shared Bathroom felt cozy, the lively sounds of the city outside added charm. Tip, explore the local dining scene for amazing seafood.

great experience but room could use better seating
The location was incredible, with many eateries just steps away. Stephanie at the front desk truly made a difference with her friendly demeanor and assistance. The bright and lively decor enhanced the welcoming feeling, making my stay enjoyable.
The room lacked sufficient seating options, which made it a bit awkward for family activities.

Location is fantastic, just a short walk to Balboa Park. The room is quite small, and noise from the planes is noticeable.

The front desk staff provided great assistance during a trying situation, even helping to change bed sheets that had a noticeable stain. However, the deluxe room was cramped and lacked sufficient outlets, making it less convenient for longer stays. While the location was excellent for access to nearby dining options, the overall cleanliness and space left much to be desired.

Great Location and Helpful Staff
I stayed for 3 nights and loved the proximity to Balboa Park and Little Italy – perfect for exploration! The staff, especially Stephanie and Edgar, were exceptional in providing local insights and recommendations. The quirky retro charm of the room added character, although a bit more seating would have made it even better.
