I rented the "gold" studio for a one-night stay in San Diego and had an average stay.
The pros:
- Easy self-check in process. John sent instructions ahead of time that I could easily reference.
- Spacious balcony with coffee readily available. Although we didn't have time to utilize this, it was really nice to see it as an offering.
- Area is relatively safe and convenient. We didn't experience any issues with locals or other guests at the hotel.
The cons:
- Studio listing was inaccurate. The bed wasn't dressed as beautifully as the picture. If you're a couple traveling, then note only one of you can sit on the balcony as there is only one chair (listing pics showed two chairs). And the room wasn't really "gold" - more a mix of browns and yellows.
- The bed was terrible. It squeaked with any amount of movement and you could just tell it was of low quality.
- Don't book here for the views. The spacious balcony overlooks nothing but a busy street and dismal buildings.
- Bathroom and shower are small. Felt like we were in a dorm room.
If you're a lone traveler, this place may suffice. If you just need a place to crash for the night, then it's serviceable. If you are staying for several nights and/or traveling with others, consider booking elsewhere. I am unlikely to book this place again for my next San Diego trip.
