I enjoyed my stay here, the staff always makes me feel appreciated for my business. My normal room wasn’t available due to maintenance in the ice machine room next to it. They upgraded me to a suite at no cost. Reyna with room service was super helpful and attentive.

Pleasant stay overall. Was only there for one night as I was in town for a conference at the convention center. Price was reasonable, considering that most hotels closer to the convention center were way overpriced. The hotel definitely needs some upgrades, including some noise cancelling carpeting. The restroom was rather small, but it had everything I needed. $20 a night parking fee seemed a bit much, considering that the parking lot was tiny. For what I needed (a bed), the hotel served its purpose.

The plantings around the parking lot made the property very appealing. Loved that we could sit outside our 1st floor room behind bamboo plants.The woman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful about places we wanted to go. Everyone on the staff we had contact with also friendly. The hotel is well located- you can walk to two team stops. One - the city college stop also has an express bus to Balboa Park.

6 individuals were staying in the room above me. They were checking in and settling in for 2 hours starting 10:30 pm.
I was there for a business meeting the next morning. Did not get any sleep or rest.
I called the front desk and asked for the people upstairs to be quiet.
Next, after 15 minutes of more noise, I got up in my pajamas and went to the front desk. I asked to move to a different room. They had no double bed available. I asked for the hotel attendant to visit the upstairs room to ask them to please be quiet. He did but it didn’t help.
At that point there was nothing to do but to deal with it. I was up all night.
I would like my money back. I don’t recommend this location. The walls and ceiling are paper thin, the toilet is for short little people.
On the positive, the owner was very nice when we checked in. The breakfast was descent.

The hotel appears to be an ex motel, with some modernisation on the outskirts of the city. We found the room very spacious, car parking available, & a generous breakfast offered. The staff were very good & friendly/helpful. Easy quick check in & good location for downtown, waterfront, Little Italy, Balboa Park, Gaslamp Quarter & Padres Baseball Stadium.

We did not need the aircon, but there was a heater as part of it!

Property is located downtown. The property itself is excellent, however, could hear street sweeper early one morning and hotel parking empties into a thoroughfare leading to 163 FWY (convenient) but must be careful of oncoming one way traffic to FWY when leaving parking lot.

The staff was super friendly and helpful. The property has a lot of plants, which we enjoyed seeing. The room had a faint smell of weed, the door was hard to open, the shower tile grout needs a good deep scrubbing and the bathroom/shower is much smaller than expected. The room was very clean besides that. Sheets and pillows were fresh. Floors are not carpeted, wish I'd brought my slippers. All the fun activities, food and entertainment are about a 15 min walk, a lot of up and down hill so I don't recommend wearing hills if you're walking.
Overall, it's a quaint little place to stay, the staff are a big reason we would return.

Easy walk to Balboa Park and the Pier from here. Public transport is just a few blocks away, if you prefer. Lots of dining options, you are close to both Little Italy and Gaslamp District. The hotel staff were great, the room was clean and beds comfy. No pool, but the rooftop patio was lovely! Note that you are downtown and with that location comes a resident homeless population. They were quite harmless, just going about their business, and were not threatening at all.

A fairly charming and clean motel-type hotel, with a pleasant roof deck but no other amenities, in a section of town that’s a fairly long (25-30 minute) walk from most of the restaurants bars and other attractions downtown. I was surprised it was not a better price given it was further from the center than I’d expected, but perhaps that’s because I booked only a few weeks from the dates of my convention. Not bad nothing really wrong or unpleasant, but not my first choice next time.

Not restful due to constant noise.

The photos of the property are highly edited. While the property is in ok condition, the rooms have been remodeled but not the best condition.

On the positive side, it was very clean. Unfortunately there were numerous problems. The room was tiny and didn't have a mini fridge which would be ok, but my key card didn't access the ice machine room. I went to the front desk and the employee went with me opened it with his key and asked to try mine. He was surprised mine did not work.

This hotel is downtown and has no soundproofing for the rooms. In the middle of the night I was constantly awoken by people screaming and what sounded to be street racing. Due to the poor night's sleep we did not make it in time for the included breakfast so I cannot comment on that. Then the construction started. This hotel is being remodeled but it was not noted upon making a reservation.

Overall, I wouldn't stay again. If you do, please do yourself a favor and bring ear plugs.

Look elsewhere for same priced and bigger rooms!

The beds….website stated the rooms were double beds. These beds were not queen. My husband and I barely fit but for even to be too small for and 8 and 13 year old!? Also, beds were on top of a tin/laminate frame. It made so much noise. Even if you shifted position, bumped your toe into the frame of the bed the tin was noisy. The pillows were small. Half of a standard size pillow. Bathrooms were TINY! Seemed more like a college dorm than a Best Western Hotel. I would not stay here again. Breakfast: (generous 6.5/10). Location: 8/10. Parking: 6/10. Rooms: 6.5/10. Bathroom: 6/10

Fine place but the shower had so little water

Overall it was a fine place, but the shower had so little water coming out of it - it was like a joke. It got hot enough, but it was such a light spray that it was hard to really feel like a shower. Watch out if you try to shampoo or have long hair - I don't see how you'd get the suds out. Also the toilet is crammed between the wall and the sink cabinet, so there's not much room there if you're larger. Overall though the place was fine, but the bathroom wasn't the greatest.
