Sandford Hotel

The place is infested with bed bugs yes they spray but let me tell you the bed bugs own this place the room I'm in I constantly fight with the severe bed bugs in my clothes I have had to throw away everything in there clothes shoes mattress towels pillow linen I mean it's that bad in my room I have marks on my body from them and don't turn the lights out cause they attack even more it's so bad I had to consult and get a lawyer because I threw away a hefty amount of stuff and I want to be compensated for it but it seems like the owners of this building doesn't care my advise I know we some times can't afford better but that still doesn't mean we have to live in a health hazardous place because we are disabled seniors

These photos clearly show this is a beautifully restored, historic 100 year old hotel ! Small, cozy rooms with own bathroom. Sunny, clean, priceright for downtown. Run by the Housing Commission for low income Senior disabled with elder help onsite. Laundry room, balcony, kitchen, dining area, library and a deli in front with the oldest barber college in San Diego next door 1st floor! A room with a view, though not every room has one !

I've lived here for over 2 1/2 yrs now and the management is becoming increasingly draconian - almost impossible to reveive a guest or even family visitor due to horrific security guards, washers & dryers often broken & inoperable, 2 antique elevators both of which break down regularly, no rent control (rents keep rising) no wifi & no internet on cable. No way to individually (i.e. room to room) upgrade cable to include pay channels or internet. No heating or air conditioning, no view (my 4th floor window just looks right at another window 3' away looking right into my unit!), no music or loud TV past 9:00pm, OLD building (built 1913ad or so) and the very worst part: EXTREMELY Nosey Neighbors allow absolutely NO PRIVACY whatsoever - 24/7. One of the very worst places I've EVER lived ... I would not recommend this place to ANYone - including my nemesis!

Seems kinda pricey for a small, 1-room SRO, no view, no wifi, they've been working on the plumbing on this 100+yr old bldg for months now -- regularly shutting down the water all day long -- and are slated to continue most of this year. Lastly, it's evidently a Seniors facility so socially it often feels like a freakin' mausoleum.

A friend of mine lives there. I have visited him in the past. It is nice enough for a single room occupancy hotel. The Sanford inn is operated by HUD so they are forced to the hotel in good condition.

I'VE KNOWN 2 SENIORS WHO LIVED THERE BOTH SAID THEY PAID THE RENT & HAD 3 DAY NOTICES TO PAY OR QUIT - I VISITED A FEW TIMES & TGE THERMOSTAT READ 80 DEGREE'S -THAT BY ITSELF IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SENIOR CITIZEN RESIDENCE BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE SENSITIVE TO HEAT STROKE THAN MOST PEOPLE -I WISH THE HOUSING COMMISSION WOULD STEP IN & QUIT FUNDING THE DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT - 1 STAR IS GENEROUS ALSO THAT PLACE HAS BEEN ON A NEWS STATION WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I'VE JUST POSTED
