Rooms are super cute, and feel very homey. Check in is easy, and the bar/cafe are precious. Very walkable to Hillcrest and all the fun stuff in that area!
An amazing gem in the heart of Hillcrest!!
Checkin was a breeze, room was clean and spacious
What made the stay so special is the cute little
Gooseberries Kafe in the entry. Food was amazing & the hospitality was warm. You know the food is good when locals drop in. TY LEE & VICTORIA (?), the Kafe is a beauty!!
The property was clean but unfortunately there’s quite a few homeless people right outside the property you walk past every time. 7/11 was right next door and conceived It was a contactless check in and very simple. There’s a cafe on the bottom floor I didn’t get to try but it is very convenient
The staff working at the cafe downstairs was amazing!! My room was spacious and comfortable. Absolutely will stay here again!

Great spot to stay! Right in the middle of all of Hillcrest’s hotspots. Easy check-in with staff / hotel dog, who felt more like a friendly neighbor. The lobby turns into a breakfast spot at 8AM so grabbing a quick bite and coffee before heading out is a must. The hotel is also next to a public parking lot, which saved us a headache using SpotHero for the entire weekend without issue.
Lee and family members were extremely accommodating. Hotel was clean and location was excellent. Restaurants, markets , night life were all within walking distance . Downstairs restaurant was excellent and had great food!
Overall, we had a decent stay. Lee at guest services was very helpful, friendly, and polite, and I really appreciated the great customer service.
Unfortunately, the noise made it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The guests above us were very loud late at night and sounded like they were moving furniture around. Another guest next to us was playing music and singing late into the night as well.
The parking situation was also frustrating. There is street parking available, but it is limited to two hours. The overnight parking recommended by the hotel was not very comfortable, as the area had a lot of homeless people around.
The staff was great, especially Lee, but the noise and parking situation definitely affected our overall experience.
I really enjoyed my stay here. The owner is super friendly and chill. As long as there is communication on both sides, I think it's a win/win situation. The parking garage is a bit small but other than that everything else was just as I imagined. : ) I can't wait for the future trip.
I gave this review 4 stars due to the excellent location. A star was removed due to the restroom situation being completely exposed. If you're a solo traveler then it's tolerable, but I couldn't imagine having another person in the room with a semi-exposed restroom. I had a premium room and overall enjoyed it. Great for a short stay.
Modern, clean, and convenient. The rooms are nice, but the downstairs cafe is the real winner. Great coffee and delicious breakfast options (the acai bowls are a must-try!). Would definitely stay here again.
As soon my partner and I arrived we were greeted by the owners. Very polite. We were early for our room, so the owner offered to put our luggage’s in a room while our room was cleaning. The owner give us great places to go visit. When we got to our room, there was a card, when I open it, it said “happy birthday”. My partner and I appreciate everything that the owners did, while we were staying there. I would definitely recommend this place, and I will definitely return again.
Thanks again for everything
Centrally located! The only hotel in Hillcrest. Why? The room was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful. I loved the view. It was well worth the cost.
The hotel is strategically located in the San Diego Hillcrest area is walking distance to the restaurants,bars,shopping. The hotel had easy check-in and check out services. The hotel room has a large open floor plan with lots of light.
The room was so cute! My boyfriend and I only stayed for one night, check in was so smooth. Contactless. Parking was a little expensive next to the hotel. The hotel was so clean, no smoke smell.
I wanted to try something different but it didn’t work for us. However, the staff was very helpful and nice. We checked out early because this location was clearly for the younger generation. It was a bit too compacted for us.
