Clean and comfortable room. Easy check-in and great front desk staff. The location is perfect for visiting Hillcrest restaurants and clubs. Unfortunately, the coffee machine was not working, so.. no coffee during my two days/nights. All-in-all, a great stay. I'll be back!

Stay was pretty great. Hotel is fantastic value for money and in a great location in Hillcrest, walking distance to grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, bars, balboa park, etc. Only issue is that the water pressure in the shower was really poor but otherwise everything was great, all the staff were super friendly.
