This place is great if you’re doing activities in and around downtown SD and just need a place to crash in the evenings. You won’t want to be coming in and out throughout the day because 3 flights of stairs and 3 coded doors is no joke. However, the price, location, and cleanliness of this place make it worth it. It’s about 20-25 min from Ocean Beach but it’s within 10 minutes of most things you’ll want to do downtown. You can even walk to the Little Italy area if you’re a little ambitious. It’s also really nice to be able to walk across the street to Balboa Park. We ended up paying the $20/day to park underground knowing we weren’t going to be using our car much during our stay. It’s nice knowing if it’s going to be sitting, it won’t be in the street. However, there was usually street parking available in the immediate vicinity.
