Excellent Value Accomadations
Posted: Mon, Jun 09 2008
Excellent value for a clean stylish hotel. Yes the rooms are small and you have to share bathrooms, but for the money saved and the accomadations it present excellent value! Location is close enough to downtown San diego and you choose to walk or take a cab to the Gas Lamp for around $5.00. The Hotel offers front and back patio seating, apples and candy, and breakfast in the morning. In addition, their is a convience store on the corner and you can walk two blocks to Baboa Park.

Great place to stay

I stayed here for over a week and had a good experience. On the first day we were allowed early check-in, and the staff was beyond accomodating. Lisa at the front desk helped up with everything from directions to helping me with my luggage upstairs. The room was clean and the fridge & microwave are nice especially if you are on a budget. They have a small, gated parking area, but only so many spots and it's $10/day, but worth it if you want to keep your car off the street. You can walk about 10-15 minutes to the Gaslamp District where there are tons of bars and restaurants. The only problem I can see is if you are an exceptionally tall or large person, you may take issue with the smaller beds and rooms. Try for the really nice Queen room if you are tall. For the money, you really can't beat this place.
