The staff were very helpful and the rooms were well arranged. The reading room (where one can hang out) was not as big as it could be, as I know there were a number of people trying to hang out there. The shower and amenities were hip and fun. Like some other reviewers, some of the rooms themselves face the very loud loud street. San Diegans can party, but some people would like an ok noise level for sleep. Great location, reliable internet. If you're on a budget and like adventure (or you party late), this is the right place for you.
