Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
3:30pm and no attendant. They did very well with their emails to say how to auto check yourself in. That was quite professional. But the system didnt work for the front door. Parking was terrible and the aggressive homeless outside the door were not fun.

The shared dorms are not really cleaned, the floors were dusty. The reception person is not sitting at the office during regular business hours...One of the guests who shared a room with me was clearly symptomatic of some kind of a flu/covid but they still let him check in and use the room which I thought was disgusting having to share the room together with. Overall, I liked the location but everything else was quite disappointing.

i was low key scared coming to the hotel based on the reviews, but it was really nice for what it is. If you’re not used to a hostel and arent comfortable with the accommodations that come with that, then this place isn’t for you. It’s not the cleanest in the world but it’s a bed to sleep, right next to little italy, has wi-fi and hot water, outlets near your bed, little outside hangout areas… I liked it! More than happy had no problems with late check in, i just contacted them first. Don’t walk towards the bridge or anything. Just walk to little italy or downtown.

Hotel is in a very convenient location, in Little Italy neighborhood, full of restaurants and bars. The hotel is old, and not modernly renovated. Water leaks caused large paint bubbles on the walls, furnishings were average and there was a very strong disinfectant smell. This was unit C.

Compared to previous reviews the stay wasn’t too bad. Was told that the room I stayed at was better than some of the shared spaces. Staff is only around during the middle of the day but had help from a long time customer. Wasn’t the best but it was fine for the weekend. Not sure if it was better than it sounded because the weekend was a convention week so the guests and space was fine.

Hands down my Wife's favorite part is the jacuzzi tub in room N. We have made this room our destination for our Anniversary(s). The property is located just inside the area for the free San Diego transportation service "Circuit" and there are many restaurants within walking distance. The AC worked great as usual. There is a nice relaxing garden area to hang out at and a vending machine with random foods/items. Downsides would be parking is a bit rough/limited. The hotel is located right next to I-5 and main on ramp for I-5 from the SD airport so there is vehicle noise almost all hours. Inside the hotel there is a lack of attention to detail, for example, the vent in the closet in our room was hanging/broken and holding on by only one screw. The glass shelf over the sink was not secured on the right side and would fall if not careful with it. The shower head fell off while my wife was in the shower (shes ok, just startled). The refrigerator was not level and when the door opened it would cause the unit to rock forward and items would fall out every so often. The check in process was unique as you call a number to check in and get the code for your room keys located in a box on site. From what I understand this site is under fairly new ownership/management thus these small details might not even be known at this point, I dont know.
