This hotel will be my go-to in San Diego—excellent value for the location. The staff was friendly, and it was convenient being near Orange Theory for a good workout. The room was small but comfortable, and perfect for our stay, especially after a night out in the Gaslamp Area.

Spent 1 night to attend a concert at Petco Park, convenient, close enough to walk. The property was neat and clean, staff was friendly and welcoming. We parked a few blocks away in a secured lot, $12.00 for 24 hours worked for us., The room we rented was very small but the price, location and super comfortable bed made for a great stay.. we would definitely stay again!

Everything about the property is amazing. The only thing it suffers from was the amount of homeless people but being in downtown San Diego that’s a given. 10/10 would stay again
