I enjoyed my stay! Thank you :)

1 night stay

Great room for the price of the area. Clean and ac worked great. Only thing is that it had minimal towels and make sure to bring your own toiletries as the ones they provided was very small but worked for us.
Katherine, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was not a hotel. I had to drive about 5 miles away to Oris Hotel to get the key. I called and no answer and I let a message and no one got back to me. Not ideal place at all

Great stay

I read the reviews after booking the stay and I was skeptical but it was better than I’ve could’ve imagine. The apartment was clean and cozy. It was perfect for two people. The only complaint I would have is the check in was at another location. There is a parking fee too.
Ariana, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean but I texted the number several times with no response. There is no one at the property. I had to drive 6 minutes to a hotel in mission valley to get the keys. I texted the contact number asking if the kitchen had pots and pans with no response. There are pots and pans but the lack of response made my stay very unpleasant. The sheets are thin like sandpaper and the same with the towels, thin and terrible. I didn’t sleep well and I would not stay again. The area is safe and I had a parking pass, so that was easy.

8/10 Very good

It’s alright.

The front desk of the hotel we had to pick up the key from was unclean, rude, & did not communicate with us hardly at all when asked questions. Room itself was cute and comfortable but barely had any towels or toilet paper, things expected and requested extra of. Would stay again with more communication with property & time to plan — But bring everything yourself as complimentary items are not provided at all.

6/10 Good

Value but has some challenges

Made a reservation for 4. Was lacking linens for the pull out sofa bed and towels. The smell of the eco-friendly cleaning agent/bug repellent was strong. Having some size to the room and a separate bedroom from the rest of the apartment which has a small kitchenette was nice. We had an assigned parking space, but other people parked in it. Check in is off site in hotel circle, so if you are transportation limited, this might be a challenge. Directions for the unit appear geared for air bnb. The value proposition is pretty good, especially if you are doing things close to the apartment, like working/visiting sharp or rady's hospitals. Close to Convoy, University of San Diego, and very close to 163 freeway access

The rooms are outstanding because you can actually live there. Refrigerator, 2 burner stove and a amazing bathroom. The security outstanding is because your the only one that can get in.
Steven, 1-night trip

Meh!!!

Location was OK, the problem was you had to drive another 4 miles to another location to pick up the key. there was no front desk, and people lived here, this was no hotel, Ive seen Motel 6's in better shape.

They have smart TV's, you'll need an account with something to watch TV. Remember to log out before you leave. Inserting the door card to get power everywhere was a unique thing.

10/10 Exceptional

A nice spot. All the right touches

Nicely appointed private studio. Very clean and very welcoming and comfortable. Great minimalist design. You will check-in somewhere else so read the details before you drive to the actual destination. Don’t quite know how the tv channels worked. There was only one, also bring your own Keurig pods our ground coffee, an ice tray and an iron.

Good enough

Pros: It was ok for the price. It was spacious. Cons: Missing trash can. Missing light bulb in the bedroom.

Absolutely loved this room, no complaints whatsoever other than having to get the key at another facility.
Leslie, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is not a hotel! It’s more like a Airbnb they shouldn’t be on Expedia. To drive to different location just to get a key to get inside it’s so inconvenient. That I even canceled n got a different hotel. They should put that in there bookings. Don’t reserve here it’s not a Hotel
