Staying here was great. Close to everything. The only negative thing I can say is the occasional dog poop in the hallway though I can't really say its the property's fault.

I like the location, cleanliness, and quietness of the property. My only complaint was the absence of nearby storage area to hold my luggage prior to the check in time. Great accommodations though!

I stayed here for almost two weeks while in SD for work. Highly recommend it for other business travelers. Fast WiFi, easy in and out, clean, modern and secure. Bonus- close proximity/easy walk to quite a few good restaurants making it easy to find that all important post work meal and cocktail. The host was very quick to respond to a couple questions I had.

My wife and I stayed for a week with our two small dogs. The business is organized and very well ran. The place is in an excellent location and the rooms were modern, safe and have all the necessities that you need. It's small but the owner/designer made perfect use of the space provided so we felt more comfortable there than in a larger hotel room. The manager and staff that I encountered were kind and helpful and the building is secure and safe. We had a great stay and will use this spot again when we are back in the area.
