This place couldn't be nicer. From the cleanliness, to
access to facilities, to the amazing (and always smiling) staff, if you don't enjoy your stay here, it's probably a you problem.
There's a huge kitchen with all the implements you could need, including a rice cooker and free rice! Coffee and tea are available 24/7, and the large common/dining are is perfect for meeting your fellow travelers. And just to mention it again, everything from the rooms to the hallways to the kitchen and dining room were almost always spotless, no matter what time of day.
All in all, I can't recommend HI San Diego Downtown enough.
