Got the single bed room. It was comfortable and was perfect for an overnight stay in San Diego. Extremely close to the airport.

10/10 Exceptional

I really liked that it had a community living room area, even though the tv (or rather the cable) wasn’t working. That area was nice and spacious. It had good size windows for natural lighting. One downside was that only one ceiling fan had a spot for a light bulb but there was no bulb and no other spots for lights in that area. I really like the community coffee pot. My friend and I donated some extra stuff that we had to the coffee area. The room that we were in was really big. It was clean and the beds were made and presentable. Clean sheets and blankets are always a great thing. I really enjoyed the two little couches. Super comfortable and cute. I really loved the HUGE shower. That thing was awesome. I liked the big round nozzle, it made it so the water would get all over you and not just concentrated in one spot. I didn’t like how, for some reason, only one bathroom downstairs worked. If one person was in the only working downstairs bathroom, and someone in a wheelchair or crutches or even elderly, they had to possibly wait a while until the other person got done. And sometimes with elderly they have a hard time holding onto their bowles. And I think that the hostel should provide maybe some hand sanitizer. Yeah I understand that they don’t want to put a bar of soap in there cuz of the spreading of bacteria or what have you. But a hand sanitizer would be very useful. All in all it was a great place to stay and I would definitely come back.

I woke up itching and found that I had a squashed a bed bug on my arm. I found another live bed bug crawling on my bed. I told the staff and they moved me to a different room (which they said didn’t have bed bugs and I wondered why people weren’t already sleeping there?) This seemed to be a common occurrence here and I feel like they may have already known about their bed bug problems.

It’s dirty. The bathroom is so dirty. Please fix the broken windows. I don’t want to recommend this place.

I had a late arrival flight to San Diego and earlier in the day left a text message on their webiste to let them know of my late arrival. When i arrive there was a sign that said "Closed"and also another sign that said "for help call this number". I called 4 or 5 times and got no answer. I ended up with no place to stay, late at night, in a distant city from home
