The internet provided was nothing short of non-existent when accessing it from your room. We had to go downstairs to get a reasonable signal.

Location was very good. Direct bus service to downtown and the trolley to Tijuana. Excellent value restaurants nearby. The one opposite the front door very reasonable and good food.

The eco-toilet is a nice concept but completely impractical. You can only wash your hands if your flush the toilet, so we ended up usually washing our hands at the kitchen sink. The location of the heating/cooling unit was awkward in that it made one end of the table really uncomfortable to sit at (limited room for legs).

Fantastic location. The size of the room and the furnishings/decorations were all great for two people. Television was small but had all the services we wanted. Kitchen was adequately stocked with dishes and tools.

The blinds didn’t close properly so a lot of light came in, making it difficult to sleep deeply.

WiFi barely worked the entire time. When it wasn't too slow to watch streaming services or browse the internet, it was down.

Check-in and check-out was easy. The location was great, with plenty of food options and close to public transportation. Parking was semi-private, but safe. Staff was friendly and reachable. The room was clean with decent amenities. The code-locked elevator was a nice security feature.

I would say the studio room that sleeps 4 people would be the challenge. The steps to get to the beds are creative but a little on the small size. I wanted to put my suitcase on the bed but wasn’t able to drag it up. But that’s the only thing! Everything else was AWESOME!

Very convenient location!! Everything we needed was right there within walking distance.

It felt like a second home and very comfortable and was close to a good amount of the bars down there so it wasn't too far of a walk.

Facilities are a bit dated, the bath room is very awkward.

Poor check in procedure. Owner was busy on personal calls and didn't check to see if room was ready. No service and feet like I was staying in a glorified youth hostel. Never fixed broken lamp with no light bulb.

The check-in process could be better. The receptionist took my credit card, and I got a text with the room codes. That's about it. I would have appreciated more information on how to lock the door on your way out, a reminder of how to use the AC, etc. Also, the remote control has a weird design and finding the volume was challenging. For instance, these little bits of extra info in a Welcome letter in the room would be great. A more personalised check-in experience would have been appreciated. I still 100% recommend this place to any solo travellers or couples who want to be centrally located in Hillcrest.

The room was exactly what I needed. The location was PERFECT: super central in Hillcrest and close to coffee shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance, which is what I wanted. The bed was super comfy, and I was lucky with my neighbours as I had a very quiet and peaceful stay.

The maintenance in the room was a bit poor: The tap fitting was loose. The A/C unit was under the table/bench, making the floor very cold (unpleasant), but not reaching the loft box rooms, meaning they were very warm (it was August).

Great location. Quirky room. Fun with teenagers. Good parking (undercover and spacious). Nice cafe/bakery incorporated (didn't take advantage of it, but nice to know it was there). Very easy location to travel to and from. Would stay again.

The bedroom is really stuffy since it's too close to the ceiling with no ventilation. Might want to think twice before booking if you have a respiratory problem.

Really friendly staff. Good location. We had a nice patio, but it's not available in every room tho.

The bathroom door had no way to stay closed.

It's a really nice neighborhood/area to be in. The bed was comfy. It has everything we needed for a short stay.

The outside noise

Stayed in August 2023

the bathroom wasn’t completely closed. there is a gap on the top so you could look in from the top loft. toilet got clogged and didn’t hear back for over 2hrs

it was ok.

The room was missing a ton of minor details, such as a mirror in the restroom (there were 2 girls trying to share a small mirror over the kitchen sink), trash cans in the kitchenette, a place to store your clothes. There was 3 hangers on a pole in the wall, but no dressers, night stands, or a closet in either of the rooms. If I was staying for longer, this would have been a huge inconvenience.

We booked a 2 bedroom/2 bath suite for the 4 of us. Having separate spaces for the guys and girls worked out perfect, plus we had a common living room. The building was safe and secure. We had access codes to get into the gates after hours, the elevator to get up to our floor and the enter our room.

while it was a beautiful hotel the location of it made it somewhat difficult to sleep with the loud noise from outside. Also the AC unit in my apartment was not working and it was pretty warm in the afternoon making it a little hard to sleep without not opening the window to loud noise

Very beautiful property it was also very secure. the outside patio was beautiful as well as the cute vinyl record store. Can’t wait for the cafe!

The artwork was a bit off putting in the bedroom area. Additionally, the "door" to the bathroom/shower left no room for movement.

Great location and value. Small, quiet, safe

The location was somewhat depressing... I walked to Einstein Bros Bagels on a Sunday at 7am and I saw 7 people sleeping on the sidewalks. And Einstein Bagel is right across the street!

The location is very convenient to the zoo and balboa park.
