This is a great location if you want to be central, and close to Downtown/Balboa/Hillcrest area. I used to live in this area, and why I chose this place. To be fair, I only stopped here to sleep and didn’t get to enjoy the property’s amenities. It reminds me of a hostel, and while it’s history is part of its charm, it is an old place. And so are the beds and things inside. I was grateful to book the room with the private bathroom, but I don’t think all the rooms here are that way. The airplane noise didn’t bother me, but if you’re sensitive you should bring earplugs. The host was super helpful and responded quickly even at a late hour. Grateful to have dog friendly accommodations. However, they aren’t allowed in common areas, so if your dogs aren’t comfortable being left in the room while you’re downstairs you’ll have an issue. Parking can be tricky, I arrived at about 10pm. I only parked a block away, but downhill - phew! Hills in SD are no joke. During the day parking isn’t usually difficult in this area. This place was perfect for a quick night’s sleep, would recommend to anyone needing a budget friendly spot.
