If you want a predictable, cookie-cutter kind of place to stay, this is not it! This location is incredibly homey with just a smidge of welcomed eccentricity, and has lovely common areas (sitting room, front porch and backyard) for relaxing. I was attending a conference and needed to be close to the convention center but I had already had plenty of downtown San Diego nightlife experiences. This place was the best of both worlds! Easy enough to walk to the action (e.g. Gas Lamp district, Little Italy, Petco Park, convention center) but far enough away in the evenings to make you feel like a local. My only wish was that I had more time to enjoy the space.
Gary, Frank, and team are incredibly down to earth, respectful, and responsive. I feel good when I support the business of good people and I know if you stayed here, you would too.
