Great hotel!! The owners upgraded me to their amazing penthouse suite, which was very generous. Btw, their penthouse suite is over 1,000 sf of space with stunning 360-degree views of the entire city, kitchen, large seating area, etc. So I will always stay at the amazing Abpopa Hillcrest when I am in San Diego!!

Bathrooms are not private so if you’re traveling with a group, maybe don’t share the room. Nice spot for 2, but it’s very noisy. Bring ear plugs.

It was a GREAT property, and it was in the heart of Hillcrest, which I love. And, once you walked a block or two from the hotel, it was fine. Just a bit shady around the block the hotel was on. But, I'm from NYC, so didn't bother me too much. Might be off putting to others. Rick
