The hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of downtown San Diego, surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants. A nearby bus provides easy access to the airport. The property is well-maintained and offers pleasant amenities, including a pool table and arcade machines. However, one drawback is also its location—it’s right in the lively party area, which can lead to noise at night. If you’re sensitive to noise, you might want to consider an alternative hotel.

The room is spacious and convenient. It is surrounded by bars, but it is a bit noisy before 11 o'clock.

It's a youth hostel with a good location. It's convenient to eat around. The breakfast is also OK. I almost had a romantic encounter the day before I checked in.
