Appreciated the easy and responsive check in. Enjoyed the unique style of the room and it was filled with light and the little kitchenette. The bathroom was an odd layout but clean. Cool little cafe in the downstairs breezeway. Would stay here again.

Great hotel!! The owners upgraded me to their amazing penthouse suite, which was very generous. Btw, their penthouse suite is over 1,000 sf of space with stunning 360-degree views of the entire city, kitchen, large seating area, etc. So I will always stay at the amazing Abpopa Hillcrest when I am in San Diego!!

Bathrooms are not private so if you’re traveling with a group, maybe don’t share the room. Nice spot for 2, but it’s very noisy. Bring ear plugs.

It was a GREAT property, and it was in the heart of Hillcrest, which I love. And, once you walked a block or two from the hotel, it was fine. Just a bit shady around the block the hotel was on. But, I'm from NYC, so didn't bother me too much. Might be off putting to others. Rick
