I would not recommend staying here, especially for a girls' trip. Overall, the lack of security in this particular location was concerning and we seriously considered booking a different place. The homeless population in the downtown area has exponentially increased since the pandemic and just a lot of weird people that will follow you. My friends went in ahead to scope out the area while I tried to secure a parking spot and they got chased by a homeless guy with a wooden bat. The entrance to the building can only be accessed with a code but the people who have previously entered failed to mix up the numbers after. The room itself was okay. But the window could not be locked because of the AC unit so we found two sticks in the laundry room and wedged one in the window and the other in the door handle for extra protection. We also placed our Hydro flasks in front of the door so that we could hear them falling if someone had broken in. Overall, I would say that it's worth spending a few extra dollars to stay in La Jolla or a nicer place. We explored Encenidas and would like to stay there the next time we go. Downtown San Diego was just not it.
