I had a very smooth check-in. Just checked in on the building’s website. They gave me a passcode to get through the front gate passcode for the elevator and a passcode for the room. The room was pretty unique, sort of whimsical and fun. The bed was so comfortable I slept a full eight hours each night, which is very odd for me. I would definitely recommend staying here while in San Diego
