Lovely hotel in the Gaslamp District. We did not swim in the pool but the rooftop space was very nice. Convenient having the restaurant/bar on site.

Good side. Nice spacious room, just a little noise from the road, comfortable bed and a good bathroom. 3 downsides: Downtown? The surrounding streets were full of down and outs,some urine and faecies on the sidewalk. The pool appeared to be let out to non residents for pool parties, deafening music for hours, grungy people. The billing was more than the Grand Total that Rocketstay, who Verbo passed us on to, 452 instead of 371 for 2 nights.There was a daily amenity fee added on, not notified by the agents. Also a deposit taken/blocked on my card, about 600 for the 2 nights. They offered parking @ 65/ night. I got it round the corner for just over 30 for 2 nights through Spothero. So bordreline 2 stars because of the room but 1 star because I felt angry about the above whilst I was there on holiday.
