It was an great stay for the limited time that we were spending in the hotel while being at the convention for the weekend. The staff was friendly and the property was an easy walk to the convention center.

Spend The Weeknd here for twitchcon overall it was pretty great floors where a little dirty tho and the bed I had to wipe down but other than that it went well
This was the best hostel were I stayed at the west coast. The place is beautiful, it has a very nice atmosphere, it’s quiet, people are respectful, the breakfast is very good. Thank you so much!
Perfect stay. I knew it was going to be noisy because I saw lots of complaints but we didn’t mind it at all. You’re in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter for such a good price! It will be busy. It works best for people that are actually going out and enjoying the busyness of the street. I appreciate the free breakfast but I would recommend having additional options for different diets such as non-dairy creamers.

It’s ok for what it is. You have to make your own bed and some of the mattresses have weird stains on them.
I enjoyed staying in a private bedroom here. A bathroom/shower was always available when I needed one. I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the art in the hallways. Super convenient location, especially if you are attending something at the convention center. Great budget choice of accommodations.
