This was a great little spot I stayed at while working in the downtown area!
As the listing states, the bathrooms are separate from the rooms, but it honestly wasn't too much of an issue. During my stay, I didn't have any issues with being able to access the shower or bathrooms and there was always one available. (I did stay during the week though, so I can't speak to how busy it might be during the weekend). The showers are large and have a small seat, which can be useful for those who might need them. The water pressure was great, and the temperature was nice and consistent. My room was on the corner right as you come up, and I did hear people coming up the stairs and moving through the halls, but this didn't really bother me too much. I work an overnight shift and get out at 730am, so I slept during the day and the noise level wasn't enough to wake me up or disturb my sleep (although I am a heavier sleeper). Also, the curtains did a pretty good job of keeping out the light from the window for this purpose. There is a little communal room with a large TV, games, a sink/food prep area, and tables and chairs, although I didn't really get a chance to enjoy this during my time there (yay, working).
The rooms themselves are nice and have a fridge, a small sink with sponge and dish soap, coffee maker with an initial set of coffee and supplies, a small set of compostable dishware and utensils, a cieling fan, and smart TV. The wifi seems to work well and I had no issues. I brought my PS5 and didn't have any issues streaming music (although I didn't get a chance to play any games so I can't comment about speed for that). The bed is a little firm, but not so much so that it's unmanageable. I do actually like a firmer mattress, but this was a little too much for my taste. There are about 6 outlets total throughout the room, and 2 are taken up by the TV and wall lamp. Not a huge deal, but something nice to consider, especially if you're like me and travel with a lot of devices. Not too much in the way of storage space for clothing and luggage, although the sink area and counter space next to the fridge do offer cabinet storage. I opted for placing my suitcase on the luggage rack and just living out of that. There is also a small coat rack with a few hangers as well. 2 towels and washcloths are also provided.
I did have some issues getting into the hotel (I booked the hotel the night I worked and didn't actually check in until the following morning around 8am), but Colt was very responsive and helped me out immensely. Nothing like working 13 hours and crying in your car because you just wanna sleep lmao. Sleep deprivation can make you real weird lol.
Be warned, there isn't parking available and you will need to find street parking or go to a parking garage.
SAN DIEGO PARKING IS STRAIGHT TRASH. This isn't the hotel's fault, but rather a reflection of poor city planning -___-
Be prepared to be price gouged for a parking garage or pay every two hours to top off the street meter (you are only allowed to pay for 2 hours at a time). Trying to sleep during the day to wake up for a shift later that night and attempting to factor in waking up to pay for parking is unfeasible, so for one day I parked in the garage. $12 for about 5 hours of parking isn't horrible, but...it's not a great feeling either lol. The other days I stayed, I ended up using street parking because I was awake during the day. After 8pm it's free through 10am, so that might be an option. Otherwise, it's $1.25 per hour.
Overall, I was a little apprehensive about booking a spot with no private bathroom, but this actually worked out really well and was a nice choice. I'm in the middle of setting up short-term housing for the duration of my work contract in San Diego, but will definitely keep this place in mind for lodging if/when needed. If you're thinking about visiting the downtown San Diego area and need a spot, definitely check this place out!
