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.

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.

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 :-)
