Great value for the location, also very quiet! Pre covid I mostly stayed in hostels to save money, San Diego is my hometown and I like to visit fairly often. The price point for the location and comfort is great, I’ll be booking there on my next trip. The flight path is right there so if that sort of noise bothers you, that’s a consideration, but for the price, location, and lovely outside areas, it’s really not a big deal hearing the flights. You can walk to great coffee, tacos, the harbor, and public transit very quickly without the noise level you get in the gaslamp. Also much safer feeling than the areas more in downtown, coming and going as a solo traveler.
