The property met my needs perfectly. It was conveniently located, clean and convenient to access. Note there are no onsite staff, checkin is virtual as is all communications. The 2 Queen unit i was in had two seperate bedrooms, and an in-unit private bathroom/shower. It was clean and recently renovated with simple, functional finishes.

For the price you pay, this is a great option. It is definitely bare bones, but you have all the basics you need. There are some rooms that are more exposed to the street noise than others. If you are concerned about noise, make sure to work with the staff to get a more insulated room. There are shared showers as advertised. The showers are up to date hotel grade showers that are gendered and lock from the inside. I felt safe and had no problem using them as a woman. I barely saw any other guests while there. I would recommend if you are on a longer trip to pack a smaller bag for your nights here to make it easier to get up the stairs and store clothes. The location is excellent and accessible to all things downtown. The hotel staff was very responsive and friendly vua app communication. Parking at park it on market was reasonably priced.

Liked: Cleanliness
This self-managed hostel is right in the Gaslamp area of SD which was great for night life and transportation. The property managers are very communicative and responsive to questions. My room was well kept, expect there was a wall light without anywhere to plug it in and a slight draft from a broken window. Otherwise, the other amenities in the room were great.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
