The C Street Inn, formerly known as the Hotel Polhemus and Cecil Hotel, is an affordable housing complex in downtown San Diego's Core district that was vacated in 2022 due to egregious conditions. It was built in 1912 and opened in 1913 with 100 rooms.
Since the 2010s, the basement was utilized as a film studio and performance venue called Gray Area Multimedia. In 2022, the city began a relocation process for all of the hotel's residents after it was vacated for its awful living environment.
Throughout the hotel's history, several minor fires caused damage, triggering temporary evacuations and it has been the location of numerous criminal incidents.
