Steep stairs at entry to arrive to floor level rooms. Challenging with luggage and for the disabled. Front door access code was changed next day without notice. I waited outside for over 30 minutes with groceries before I received updated access code. Clean property and amenities. Great bed. Walking distance to nightlife, 7-11, public transport and more

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.

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.

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.

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.

The picture in the add is nothing like the place. They should really change that, although I understand why they would take a picture of the outside because it looks like a downtown hotel that sells rooms by the hour. However, inside the rooms are renovated clen and modern. They have a fridge, a coffee maker, a microwave, and a tv with streaming services, so it’s cozy enough to kick it in. You’re in the center of the Gaslamp and all the attractions are walkable. Super convenient for conventions, or music festivals. Then there’s the shared bathroom situation. So clean, and the showers are their own private rooms as well as the toilets. I was very pleasantly surprised. If you are coming to SD with a group to have some fun l ventana would be a great place to rent with them.

Very Bad Experience – Would Not Recommend This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The room wasn’t very clean, and there was no private bathroom or shower — you have to share with everyone on the floor. The shower door didn’t lock from the inside, so anyone could walk in while it was occupied, which felt very unsafe. My room was directly above a night bar, and the loud music from 8 PM until 2 AM made it impossible to rest, especially when I had to wake up at 6 AM for work. On top of that, there was a strong smell of cigarettes (or something similar) throughout the area. There was no thermostat in the room, so you couldn’t adjust the temperature for comfort. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It’s not suitable for rest, work trips, or anyone expecting basic comfort and privacy.

Disliked: Amenities
pro. Close to convention center, and bars and restaurants. Has microwave and nice refrigerator. No manual for the air conditioning, stop working some time Con: noisy, restricted to 4pm check in , anxious to wait to get the entry code and room code. Phone call has no answer, only receiving messages sporadically. The cover in bed is dark colored and feel real cheap and thin. Paid average of $240 is a bit too high.

We were given a room where the bed collapsed and the mattress sunk into the hole with me in it. There are no private toilets or showers and no parking. You have to park on the street, if you can even find close parking, especially on a holiday weekend with a major event. I have shared pictures with management at least in every message (10). They have not responded to the pictures. We want a full refund for 2 nights as we had to find other safer accommodations for Saturday night. NEVER WOULD I STAY THERE AGAIN OR RECOMMEND IT TO MY WORST ENEMY!!!!!
