The customer service and hospitality here is AMAZING. The location is pretty conveniently located near public transit and it’s surrounded by good food and cafes. Brandon gave me a list of recommendations to do nearby and the hosts were very accommodating when I had to store and take out my luggage during the times I wasn’t checked in. I stayed here for the SD marathon and although it was a bit pricey for me (I booked a double for myself because that was the only thing available), the location is worth it and the shared common areas were never too busy so I always had my space :-)

Gladly surprised by the quality of the service. Very clean -daily mopping and cleaning of all areas. Staff super friendly. Common areas are usually very quiet and was nice to hang out there. Very close to downtown (5-10 mins cab ride) conveniently close to the airport. Will stay here next time.

LOVED my stay here. Sorry I had to give 3 stars to the area around the property it is a little bit skid row lite by the Albertsons but if it means a more affordable stay and the property is very secure and guests and staff were respectful.
