This is located in the Gaslamp District of San Diego, which is the college “woohoo” zone on a weekend. It’s loud, it’s happy, it’s sometimes messy, but it’s fun.
This hotel is run well by a good staff, but it’s also a bit of a “comfortable worn shoe.” Nothing is broken, the breakfast is functional, but it’s not luxe (nor does it say it will be.
The bed is firm, the shower works, the toilet seat is a circle so it’s a bit small, and the sink is in the room itself. The rooms have basic window box AC, and it works.
If you want a “solid hammer” that gets the job done, you’ll be satisfied here, for sure.
I recommend “Taco El Gordo”, mmmm… fast, genuine, popular. Even for breakfast!
Stay here for a bed, and nice staff.
