If you’re looking for a place to just rest your head and reset for the night. Here’s your place.
Pros:

Love the conveniency of the location. The prices were the best, compared to the plenty of overpriced airbnbs. It’s a great place to stay for a weekend if you plan on spending most of your days out. The room we had didn’t have an abundant amount of space, just the necessities. Bed, bathroom w/ shower, AC, chair, and small luggage storage. Which is perfect, makes me think how much wasted space we use at times.

Cons:

The only negative thing I do have to say, was it had a slight scent of dog pee. Not sure if it was from people staying there? It wasn’t a huge deal for us since we were hardly there, but it did smell every time we went up the stairs. Elevators were fine, in fact they even had frebreeze in there!

Convenient, centrally located, easy access to private space without hassle. More firm, orthopedic mattresses please when
Pros:

Easy to get settled in. Clear instructions to access door codes. No complications to get in and out.

Cons:

The mattress was to foamy. They need to put real mattresses. The foam block I had for a bed destroyed my back.

Hotel GiGi, a must stay
Pros:

The location next to Petco Park and being in downtown is close to everything. The room is very comfortable, it's exactly what I needed.

Cons:

Can't say this hotel is really cool. A mini refrigerator would have been nice but that's a minor thing.
