Great Find

This was in an excellent location in San Diego! Right outside the Gas Lamp District and with walking distance of many others. The building is an old refinished building with tons of charm and a great outdoor roof space. We really enjoyed our stay!

Room 101- decent for the price

We stayed Friday night - Tuesday morning. We were in room 101. Room was nice, clean, and spacious. Access was straight forward and check in was simple. The first 2 days, I do not know whether the water heater had issues but the shower was cold and we got hot water for barely 5-10 minutes. The days after we were able to have a nice hot shower though. Soaps and lotions are included. Location is downtown and that does come with noise typical of the city (cars and people walking on the street), but it is very central with a grocery store nearby and everything 15 minutes away. We were so tired from sight seeing we didn’t have trouble sleeping. It was pretty light though and wish they had blackout curtains. We tried the fire pits the 2nd night and they did not work. We called support and no one could help since they did not have support on site that specific day, which was a bummer. There is a central room with a microwave, hot and cold water dispenser, and a coffee maker, which is convenient. Note there was no fridges so keep that in mind if you are keeping any sort of food. As far as parking, there are garages that are about a 5 min. walk, if that, as well as street parking. We did one night in the garage through SpotHero and one night on the street right outside the hotel- no issues on either.

Great Location, Really Small Room

The location is wonderful. Close to bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and the trolley system. The hotel itself is clean and the staff were great. Unfortunately, the room was the smallest hotel room I’ve ever had. Didn’t think they could make one this small. Also, there is no storage space. No drawers, dressers, shelves, etc. Can’t even slide something under the bed. Either upgrade to a larger room or make this a one night stay.

Lobby and room were beautiful, very clean and well maintained. I liked the decor, location is excellent. My room was 104 and barely fit one person. Bed was very comfortable. Room needs a rod for clothes and shelves for toiletries and a drop down desk and stool or chair.

Room was great, enjoyed the contactless experience. The area around the hotel has all the advantages/disadvantages of a city - excellent food options, shopping, easy access to transportation - all great. Like any city, a little noisy, crowded, and dirty. Would recommend and would stay again.

This property suited my needs. The facility and area were clean and safe. The actual room was a little smaller than anticipated, specifically the bathroom/shower room. That said, it would not deter me from staying again. Walking to the Conference Center was a respectable 15 min walk. Probably the only thing I desired that wasn't available was an in-room mini fridge.
