Better response time would be better; took awhile to get the codes to enter the property and my room. Would also be nice to have bigger towels; they were a bit small to dry off with after showering. Besides all that; great place. Clean; newly renovated. Front desk guy was cool. One thing I did have issue with was the homelessness. Shady characters hanging around the property. Would be nice if the property owners/managers had a nice relationship with SDPD to help move/keep the homeless out of the area. Besides all that; I’d rate my stay 4.5/5 stars.

The place is not bad — for the price, it’s acceptable. However, it was strange to have a bathroom without a washbasin and to have to shave in the kitchen. The people are friendly while you’re there, but they do not respond to requests once you leave. Even now, one month later, I’m still trying to get the invoice for my payment and I’m still waiting. Not a great experience in that way., otherwise, an okay place to stay in you have a low budget.
