Even though it’s not part of the hotel the café downstairs Café gooseberries is a wonderful joint for food and coffee and love that it’s at the bottom and you can sit in the seats even when it’s closed. I also like that they have codes to get in the gates or the elevator that makes it safer, there are quite a few homeless people around the neighborhood in building made walking at night as a solo woman traveler unnerving. The staff was nice. Paul is great. The parking is convenient, but I did not like how they didn’t tell me how much each spot was Going to charge. Love that it’s so close to downtown Hillcrest shops and dining and everything else.

The location is centrally located for everywhere I wanted to go in San Diego. My room was very nice and a great deal. My only small complaint is that the neighborhood looks a little run down, but nothing major.

No room service / cleaning up, of any kind, during an 8 day stay. Had to call the hotel to get more toilet paper. Nice place, but NEEDS A DEEP CLEANING, AND MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT TO TUNE UP systems and practices.

The room was pretty dirty. The sheets were stained, specially the fitted sheet and the mattress. The cafe was not open the three days I was there. And there was only a receptionist available on the first day. The selling point for this hotel is that it's nearby the Hillcrest area.

My friend suggested I stay at the “Weird Hotel” near Hillcrest. He wasn’t kidding. I should have paid more attention to the description of the microloft. It’s a main room with a weird bathroom and treehouse- style stairs to a lofted bed with a low ceiling. One night is doable, but I was ready to go.

The Abpopa worked well for the 2 of us. It is convenient to everything and the neighborhood is great and very walkable. The property itself is a bit beat. The lock was finicky on the door. The bed was difficult to get to. For us, the room was fine, and the location fantastic. I would not recognize this place for anyone with children or that had mobility issues.

The restroom was open to the room at the top/roof area which was odd. Only a moving door and flap type wall separated from the restroom area. Room layout was atypical so if you’re expecting typical hotel room layout this is not it. Gooseberries kafe In the hotel lobby was the highlight for me. Delicious food and coffee. This place is walkable to food and Hillcrest. The staff was great.
