Chadwick Hotel — Hotel in San Diego

This place is really awful. It has dirty, tiny rooms and is run by people who have no idea what’s going on in the building. One thing they are good at, in my case John was very responsive. I would add that this property is not ADA compliant, and since it operates as a hotel, I’m sure they’re legally operating. I used Air BnB to rent this place. I checked in right on time on – 7/15. I followed instructions to my room. On entering, I found the room had not been cleaned. The bed was unmade, there were used towels on the floor, ½ empty water bottles. There was a coffee cup with mold in it, not sure how long that had been there. I messaged John and got a fast response. I was directed to a new room a couple of doors down. That room was also dirty. Wet towel hanging, unmade bed, ½ full water bottles, garbage in the in the can. It felt like the room as still occupied from the books on the nightstand. Another text, another room. The third room was clean. But, the sheets were old and pilling, the pillowcases were discolored, shower walls had soap scum on them. The AC barely kept up with the temperature, paint was chipped. The common areas, especially the carpets, were stained and threadbare. On my last morning, I texted John on my way out at 7:00 AM that I was checking out. I received an acknowledgment. A few hours later, while I was at the airport, I received a note that I hadn’t checked out. I was told my stuff was still in the room and that I needed to get out of the room. I responded that I was out. Several hours later, I got another nastygram from John that his tech told him I was still in the room. I assume the “tech” didn’t know what room I had moved to. Look over other reviews here, they appear to have a lot of paid astroturf reviews that way to flowery i,e, fake for the reality of the place. My strong recommendation for this place is to...

Do not book John's place or any other places you find in his name. I had a late night flight and I got to the apartment at 2 a.m., I tried to enter the main gate code John provided me, but it didn't work. I tried several times without success. Since on his profile there's no phone number, I could only send him a message via the Airbnb app, but of course, given the late hour, he didn't reply. In the meantime another client showed up in great distress with the same problem and that shows how John's careless behaviour was affecting more than one person. I was lucky enough to travel with a friend that, while I was talking to the Airbnb costumer service, was going to the nearby hotels in person to check for a room, but it wasn't an easy task since in 2022 most hotels will only let you in if you have an online reservation. By the time we realized we wouldn't get in and that the Airbnb costumer service would have not provide us a room anywhere, it was already passed 3. Even if it's San Diego, it was quite cold at night since it's winter. We then wander around the city searching for a room and we found eventually the coldest motel in town, but at least we didn't sleep on the street. It was already 4 a.m. John didn't even text me the next day for an apology. Horrible behavior. While checking for another room in the same area, I bumped into another "John". I wanted to make sure it wasn't the same place, so I texted him. I then confronted the pictures of the two postings and realized that the garden was the same. Do you think John took responsibility and apologized?! Nope. He just act as if nothing has happened. Horrible horrible behavior!

DO NOT BOOK HIS BNB! We only had a couple of days in San Diego and that really ruined our vacation! He should be banned...

If you're looking for downtown access with walking options, it's a good location. There are a lot of unhoused individuals living on the sidewalks in the immediate area, but that's not John's fault.

John and staff were very quick to take a look at my hot water; turns out it just takes a really long time to heat up. I stayed in the tiki room and it had everything I needed for my short stay.

Some constructive criticism: there's mold on the shower ceiling; there's limited lighting inside the actual shower (lighter shower curtains might help); the bathroom barn door doesn't provide adequate privacy; and the mini blinds are broken and need to be replaced.

Also, idk what was going on in the room above me, but it sounded like people were wearing concrete shoes and dropping bowling balls. Admittedly, I didn't mention the sound disturbances while I was there, but future guests might have issues.

I checked into a clean room with clean linens. The room and building as a whole have a quirky...
