Nicole was a great host and quick to respond! The place was accurate and very tidy. Check-in and check-out was easy as well!
Parking: Metered street parking is available for 2 hours but is free after 8pm! If you're staying over the weekend, street parking is free whole day on Sundays and certain holidays. We had no issue finding parking on the streets right in front of the hotel, however, we may have just been lucky as it can get crowded at night due to the nightlife. Other than that, it wasn't so bad.
Location: Everything you need is in walking distance! So many food places to choose from, you can't go wrong with any! The hotel is also located right next to Balboa Park, which you can spend the whole day there!
Room: We had requested for a specific room but it was already taken, however, Nicole was able to give us a different room which was honestly better than we expected! We had floor to ceiling windows and a 270 degrees view of Hillcrest. One main thing that bothered us though was that the walls are very thin. There was a room occupied right next to us and you can hear every conversation they were having and other noises late at night. If you're a naturally loud person, chances are the guests next door can hear you lol. Thankfully, we didn't stay in the room for long periods of time but it was something that was quite annoying. Another thing to note, one of our pillows and the bed still had slight dirt or stains on it which was unpleasant.
Overall, this place is great and would definitely recommend if you're staying for a small vacation.
