If you're truly working with a tight budget, this is probably a great place to stay. That said, we were VERY surprised upon driving up to find that the unit directly to the left of the front door is Hustler Hollywood. And you're in the Gaslamp, so expect drunk people to be partying and screaming at all hours of the night. Think 6am, it's still very noisy right outside your window. We got no sleep, our bathroom sink did not drain, and our shower head came off while trying to shower. I would not recommend this place.
