Wouldn’t stay here again unfortunately. Wanted a budget stay for our only night in San Diego but this place was costly for what it was. Hostel style stay and the bed is comfortable and smart tv nice. However, the shared bathrooms were untidy with hair all over the floor, shower and sink. There was an ENORMOUS roach visible in the shared kitchen space. There is free street parking right in front and the block itself is quiet but there are homeless encampments just around the corner and there was broken glass on the sidewalk up front indicating what I assume to be past car break ins. We wanted to use the laundry facility but ended up not- there is 2 washers and 2 dryers in adjoining building, both were in use and were $2.00 each with quarters only. This spot was close to the airport (10 mins), so that was convienent.
I also found it odd just before the time of check in I received a message from the host saying “I am out of the country till July 20th and wont have cell service and cannot respond to messages.” This bothered me. What if there are issues? I understand maybe not being as available but not available at all? As a host, especially of a hostel space, you should be available by message and/or have someone else to assist visitors if needed. I did appreciate the long list of local recommendations provided by the host and did utilize quite a few of them.
