Great property. Rooms are very differnt than any traditional hotel but offer some interesting and fun options. My favorite features are the lofted bedrooms and large windows letting in tons of light and offering sweet views of the city. Upper floors can even see the bay in the distance. Clean, modern, and contactless, ideal for any younger couple or family.

Old uncomfortable beds. Accessible location lots of great places to dine within walking distance, everyone is super nice. At night is another story. Scary, drunk/junkies outside the door laid out on sidewalk walkway. Do not go out at night. I was frightened and shaking when I went to get water at the gas station next door. Not a good experience. Do not go out at night.

Location to the Hillcrest neighborhood restaurants is excellent. The room was very spacious. The main issues are nose. Nose from the street, noise from people outside on the sidewalk, noise from the room next to us. There were multiple homeless people who hang out right on the sidewalk by the hotel. These issues would not prevent me from returning.

Not much of a hotel, more like an Airbnb that was crudely constructed from a studio apartment extremely hot no fans no ventilation for the same price. If not cheaper, you can get a really nice hotel in the surrounding area. I definitely will not be staying there again.

Huge fan of Abpopa Hillcrest hotel! Great walkable location, unique rooms filled with unique art, easy check-in, nice cafe downstairs, so much too love. I hate cookie cutter hotel chains so Abpopa is definitely my cup of tea!

LORENA

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Interesting & cool vibe. Room rented was a new experience, the bathroom in the room was unique since it has a shower curatin for a door. Literally there is NO door. Highly recommend putting in a barn door or a pocket door to allow privacy. Privacy is important. The idea to keep the eco-vibe is cool but a bathroom DOOR is needed. Key to lobby floor bathroom would help. Limited parking, expensive for not guarantee or reserved spot. Front desk staff was cool & friendly.

Appreciated the easy and responsive check in. Enjoyed the unique style of the room and it was filled with light and the little kitchenette. The bathroom was an odd layout but clean. Cool little cafe in the downstairs breezeway. Would stay here again.
