The property met my needs perfectly. It was conveniently located, clean and convenient to access. Note there are no onsite staff, checkin is virtual as is all communications. The 2 Queen unit i was in had two seperate bedrooms, and an in-unit private bathroom/shower. It was clean and recently renovated with simple, functional finishes.

This self-managed hostel is right in the Gaslamp area of SD which was great for night life and transportation. The property managers are very communicative and responsive to questions. My room was well kept, expect there was a wall light without anywhere to plug it in and a slight draft from a broken window. Otherwise, the other amenities in the room were great.

One of the best locations to stay in Gaslamp. Everything is walking distance. The rooms are well ventilated and decent size to relax and re energize. The only downside is that the room did not come with an iron or hair dryer. Besides that, it was a great place. I would definitely come back to stay there.

The property is in a good location. However, my door handle felt a bit broken although you don't need it because of the electronic lock. Overall the location met my needs. However, i feel that some of the interior could be improved and would have liked some capability of storing luggage securely which is something i often use on the day i'm checking out.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very Bad Experience – Would Not Recommend This was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The room wasn’t very clean, and there was no private bathroom or shower — you have to share with everyone on the floor. The shower door didn’t lock from the inside, so anyone could walk in while it was occupied, which felt very unsafe. My room was directly above a night bar, and the loud music from 8 PM until 2 AM made it impossible to rest, especially when I had to wake up at 6 AM for work. On top of that, there was a strong smell of cigarettes (or something similar) throughout the area. There was no thermostat in the room, so you couldn’t adjust the temperature for comfort. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It’s not suitable for rest, work trips, or anyone expecting basic comfort and privacy.

It was advertised as a Hotel. It is a Hostel, there is no parking. The front door has a Padlock on it and the only way to get in is with a code. The front sign is covered in graffiti and stickers.

The picture in the add is nothing like the place. They should really change that, although I understand why they would take a picture of the outside because it looks like a downtown hotel that sells rooms by the hour. However, inside the rooms are renovated clen and modern. They have a fridge, a coffee maker, a microwave, and a tv with streaming services, so it’s cozy enough to kick it in. You’re in the center of the Gaslamp and all the attractions are walkable. Super convenient for conventions, or music festivals. Then there’s the shared bathroom situation. So clean, and the showers are their own private rooms as well as the toilets. I was very pleasantly surprised. If you are coming to SD with a group to have some fun l ventana would be a great place to rent with them.

I tried to cancel late for the 50% fee, but they never recognized by cancellation and kept reaching out to me to check in. I still should’ve received 50% discount for a no-show, but the stupid lack of a concierge did not even realize that I was never there. Now they are refusing to refund my 50%.

I would avoid this hostel at ALL COST. Read this before you book! 1. the host didn't provide any check-in instruction until we text them through the app. 2. The property phone number is not reachable! 3. there is NO LOCK in their shower, EXCUSE ME? 4. Our lock was out of battery, and we were locked out. The host asked us to buy a battery, promised will reimburse us, but still NOT after 14 days? 5. There was no internet for about 16 hours, and the host didn't seem to care until we ask and ask again the next day
