Important Hotel Information
- Guests staying at the 500 West Hotel will enjoy a shared/ private bathroom. This means the bathroom you choose is yours and yours alone when you enter with your room key. It is shared because there are as many as 16 private baths and unisex lavatories on every floor, or about one bathroom for every three guest rooms. Every bathroom is lockable, self contained and private. A professional housekeeping staff restocks and cleans every bathroom around the clock several times per day, 24 hours a day.

500 West Broadway is a unique budget opportunity for San Diego bound travelers. Though restrooms are down the hall, rooms are very clean and so are the batroom/shower operations. The reception area is beautiful and the staff very helpful. You are a few steps from the train and bus stations on Broadway, the main drag in downtown. Nightclubs and the harbor area are also VERY close. What a find!!!

Really more of a youth hostel, this hotel has small, high ceilinged, sparsly-furnished rooms, with only the bare necessities. 8 or so bathrooms per floor are secure and private, and have a shower. However, everything is kept neat and clean, and well stocked for the most part. Hotel staff are friendly and professional. Restaurant in the hotel is excellent. Location is superb-1 block from metro trolley, 2 blocks from waterfront, and right on the edge of Gaslamp Quarter. High speed Wi-Fi can be purchased per day, and worked very well.

This hotel used to be a YMCA that they converted into an hostel type. It is right in the heart of downtown, very easy access to everything, the gaslamp district, Horton Plaza Mall, boutiques, restaurants and minutes away from the Harbor where you can catch the ferry to Coronado Island (highly recommended) and bikes/vespa rental...without forgetting the fact that you're near every buses, trolleys... The hotel is always kept very clean, you do share bathroom/shower, but they are conveniently placed at every floor and there's always one available. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only thing is that sometimes at night time people getting back into their rooms were pretty loud but has nothing to do with the hotel, only with people non taking into consideration about anyone in the hotel.

I was very impressed with the hotel. It is not for someone looking for luxury. All I want is a bed and a shower.The beds are pillow top design, very comfortable. Even though the bathrooms are shared I never had a problem finding an available bathroom. The staff was very helpful. Housekeeping did a great job. They clean the bathrooms multiple times 24 hours a day. The front desk is staffed by helpful employees. My requests were taken care of immediately. The airport bus is less than a blockaway. Very convienent location for bus and trolley. Guests are able to use the fitness center. I enjoyed my stay and will stay again.

This is an historic YMCA building converted to a hotel. That means that the rooms are downtown NYC small and there are unisex shared bathrooms (like in Starbucks but with a shower) available spread along the floors in pods of 4 - no room is very far away. When the maid makes up your room she leaves a fresh towel on your bed every day. I had no problems with crowding or overuse but the hotel was not full. There are several room sizes; I chose the smallest which had a desk, single bed, and wardrobe - plus a small flat screen TV on the desk, a phone, and free wireless internet). I spent almost no time in the room except to catch the late news and catch up on email just before bed. There were no signs of pests of any kind. Staff was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Business center PC's w/ a printer were available as were vending and ice machines. Restaurant served good food, promptly. I would go back if on a budget. Location is very convenient - on the Trolley Line at American Plaza. Expect to here the trolley cars and the harbor fog horn in certain weather.
