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!

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.

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”

Loved the room and building, looks can be decieving. The room looked like a updted studio and eco friendly bathroom, toilet was a little new cause i had to figure out how to turn off the sink, which it turns off automatically. Area is good walking distance to a lot of things on Hillcrest. Only thing was the bums fighting at night and hanging round the 7/11 on the corner, but it was a great stay nonetheless.

The room was very spacious but the layout was weird, bathrooms weren't really "rooms" but exposed toilets and tubin the room, kitchen sink was also the bathroom vanity. Floors felt sticky, carpet felt greasy. Window coverings did not block out blaring lights from 7-11, gas station and surrounding sketchy neighborhood

The location of this property can't be beat. It is more of an air bnb and not a hotel. The room/restroom is a very open which can be fun if you like your toilet in the living room. :) The area around the hotel is sketchy after dark but I never felt unsafe. You can walk to everything in the Hillcrest area which is its saving grace.

This met our most important need which was location to our 2 events nearby. The place was fine and we'd like to stay another time but were not fond of the loft bed - it was really hot up there (unusually hot weekend didn't help).
The staff were helpful and the restaurant inside was great.
