I'll start by giving kudos; the location is prime if you are looking to be in the middle of the action. The room is located on top of a restaurant, where the building sits between two nightclubs one on each side so relaxation is not much of an option here but like I said, the location is prime if you are looking to be in the middle of the Gas Lamp district partying and exploring. That's as far as the good goes.
They can definitely improve on the cleanliness of the place; the room it self was as pictured but entrance and the narrow hall way to get to the elevator could use some improvements. No exaggeration, walking through the hallway feels like your in a tacky haunted house maze; there were trash bags left near the elevator the entire time we were there.
Here are some things the host cant solve but it would be great to have been made aware of:
Given the location of the room, there is noise constantly from 12pm to about 4am (stayed Friday thru Sunday)
Due to covid, a lot of the streets in the Gas Lamp district are closed so driving to the room is not possible at the moment, so we were forced to look for parking quite a distance away and carry our bags through a crowded streets and restaurant patios filled with ppl eating. Not the end of the world but again not ideal and would've been nice to know what to expect.
You're between a bar and a club on an active nightlife street so drunks are expected, but worse than that is the homeless population in the area; again host cant fix this but good to know for those that are looking at this room and area.
This was not our first choice when it came to picking a place to stay in San Diego as the price is a bit high. Due to our first choice not being available we came here with the assumption that due to a higher rate it would be a better place. I was quickly let down by the entrance and how awkward I felt walking through full restaurant outdoor patios with all my stuff in hands.
Simply put, the room was sub par; the location is prime; price was very high for what you get... my average would be a 5/10 and I'm being generous.
Happy travels!
