It’s right next to a homeless encampment. The window has no screens so it felt unsafe to open the window. The towels were dirty and the shower was so out of date and falling apart.

The place was good for spending one night. The bed was comfortable. However, I would look it up on Google Maps prior to making a reservation. We were expecting to be able to walk to and from Petco Park, but after the game we took a Lyft, as the amount of homeless people in the area made us feel unsafe at night.
