We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel - the staff were helpful, friendly, and kind. The rooms are clean, minimalistic, great light from big windows! The bathroom is in the room, which we did not mind (there is a partition divider), but some may prefer separate bathroom space. The area has some great places to eat, second hand clothing stores, great cupcakes across the street, and a luggage place down the street that will store your luggage for cheap if you arrive before check in. People in the area were friendly. Having Balboa park nearby is another great perk! The streets are a little noisy at night, but a sound machine does the trick! Our AC was not working when we arrived, but the staff came to look at it right away, provided us with a fan, and gave us a discount for the inconvenience. We would stay here again :)
