Frommer's Review
Insiders looking for unusual accommodations head straight for this small pink inn at the northern edge of Balboa Park. It's a cluster of four Spanish Colonial-style former apartment buildings in a mostly residential neighborhood a half-mile east of Hillcrest's heart. The hotel is popular with gay travelers drawn to Hillcrest's restaurants and clubs, which crop up within several blocks of the property. All the rooms and standard suites are tastefully decorated; the specialty suites, however, are over-the-top. There's the "Tara Suite," as in Gone With the Wind; or the "Greystoke" suite, a jumble of jungle, safari, and tropical themes with a completely mirrored bathroom and Jacuzzi tub. Seven of the rooms have Jacuzzi tubs, and most have kitchens -- all have private entrances, though the front desk operates 24 hours. From here, you're close enough to walk to the San Diego Zoo and other Balboa Park attractions.
