Modern comfortable hotel with cool vibe
We travel to San Diego for work several times a year. This was a new hotel for us to try. We loved it. A very cool, modern and hip vibe. A beautiful room. And a wonderful restaurant downstairs was great as well.

Unique urban treehouse vibe!
Fantastic, quirky hotel with and urban treehouse room vibe! 1 bedroom loft queen, and 1 loft bedroom 2 x twins. Really convenient contactless checkin and room access made everything so easy and fast, especially as I checked in late. Wall of windows and ladders leading up to the sleeping lofts made the experience high-end fun. Exposed wood and DIY flair mixed with high end fixtures - great use of space makes the rooms feel like a playhouse. Patio was big with comfy outdooor couches. Bathroom door doesn't have a lock and doesn’t seal, so best to stay with good friends. Unique and great alternative to a boring hotel room

No hassle overnight stay
Needed an overnight local place to drop off my partner the next morning at CBX. Hillcrest seemed ideal for both us.

Good location, not good condition
Furniture was incredibly soiled. Did not feel comfortable sitting on it without a towel. Door lock kept malfunctioning, had to hold to door itself at certain angle to get it to close. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way, dragged on the floor.

Cute Boutique Hotel
Cute little boutique hotel in Hillcrest neighborhood. Area appeared safe and had no issues during stay. Great security measures in place in a gated building. Rooms were small but adequate for their purpose. Only complaint was the small ackward bathroom set up in the units i stayed in. Would definitely consider this property again with a future stay in San Diego.

This loft was awesome, exactly what we needed for us and our friends (two couples). Two separate rooms/bathrooms made it private but there’s a shared space to chill with your friends. It was clean, modern and inviting. Would love to stay again!

Property was close to everything. Property was clean. However, elevator broke Friday night and climbing 5 flights of stairs was not ideal. Made the stay a lot less desirable specially when parking was not close by.

Stay somewhere else.
We decided not to stay there. Homeless people right out the front door. No carpet in the room. $25.00 parking in a poorly lit lot.

More like a youth hotel.
Homeless people in the front of the hotel and back.
No central air conditioning.
The sink of the bathroom is the toilet…

Super cute little lobby area and record store. The concept of the rooms is really fun. I can see how great it is when it was at it's full potential. However, our room smelled of wet towel and the carpet and couch seemed really dirty, didn't dare to sit on the couch or walk around without shoes. The bed was super comfy. Small but comfy. Cute little setup, just needed a good scrub/deep clean to feel comfortable.

Stay Away
Do not recommend this facility. The area is littered with trash, homeless people and vagrant types. The entrance area is filthy as well. I booked a “Premier Studio with CityView” the room they gave me was a split studio with no city view. The check in staff were rude and are now refusing to refund me a portion of the room cost. The room I was in was dirty, lamps didn't work and lock on door did not function as advertised. I was on a very tight family schedule and had little time until I came back to Nevada to address the issues. I feel a bait and switch occurred and will never stay or recommend this “hotel”
