Had to move rooms because the beds had hair all over the sheets and looked like the pillow cases were not washed. They put us street side and it was super noisy. A couple was arguing at 2:00am. Some sort of put together boards were on the floor around the air conditioner/heater. It kept getting falling over if you went on that side of the bed.

Admittedly, we only stayed in this room for one night. I think this is a hotel that is best suited for short term stays. The rooms are very small but very practical. The beds are comfortable but the bathrooms are tiny. If you're a bigger person like me, you will undoubtedly slam your elbow onto the corner of a towel bar. Unfortunately, the shared kitchen on our floor was out of coffee but there was an excellent coffee shop about two buildings down from the hotel called Better Buzz. Like I said, we stayed there for just one night and it served its purpose. It's central to everything and is incredibly close to the bars in Hillcrest like Flicks and Rich's. So yeah, a solid 3 out of 5. I do not think we will return here.

Paid for parking. Arrived and this is the fourth stay where they were not able to look up my payment and made me comb through emails to verify. Then they didn’t give me a assigned spot but told new to park, “near the gate” after walking the person at the counter to the spot to verify I was woken up after midnight to move my vehicle immediately. Then the next day the spot I was asked to park in next was taken… so I had to come in and figure that out. The apology was to ignore the fact that this is a multiple visit issue, but blamed it on the new girl at the counter (she was lovely and did her best for sure!) then offered to refund only one of the nights parking even though this was a multiple night issue. I’ve stayed here at least 4 times because the location is perfect but this is the last time I’m putting up with the terrible service and systems. Stay further out and uber in… WORTH IT.

The location is very convenient and close to everything, which made getting around easy. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which I appreciated. That said, the room was quite small for the price, and the parking was expensive. Overall, it’s a decent option if location matters most, but the value may not be ideal for longer stays or travelers with a lot of luggage.

The room was clean. I had ONE noisy night and after that, silence. Cleaning crew was out every morning, so they are proactive. Front desk personnel were pleasant and helpful. Coffee shop next door and a Whole Foods less that 5 min walking... plus other 'eateries'. I'd use this place again. Only 'issue', I was never able to figure out HOW to use the coffee maker that was in the kitchen on my floor. And neither was the staff member I asked! LOL
Coffee shop next door.
Front entry way with gates open. In the evening the gates are shut, but your room key will open them.
Parking if you have a car.
