Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
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!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
