The facility is amazing- tons of history and architectural stunning detail. Staff was very helpful and friendly. The location is great right in the heart of the Gaslamp District. The hotel room itself we stayed in was a little dated and in need of a 're-fresh' (not sure if other rooms or other areas of the hotel are as dated). However, I would definitely stay here again and will likely be my go to the next time I'm in San Diego.

The hotel itself was incredibly beautiful. I was very underwhelmed with the room and amenities. The shower was awful. Barely a trickle of pressure and hot water was short lived. The fireplace was a disappointment as well because I was looking forward to having a lovely fire but instead, it was a nightlight. Very mediocre toiletries. Again, BEAUTIFUL hotel and bar, but room left lots to be desired.

Valet is $59 and when you book they don’t tell you about the resort fees. Got woken up at 330 in the morning by people fighting in the hallway. Didn’t fall asleep until 530 again. Would not recommend staying here solely based on the hidden resort fee not disclosed and add to that the lack of sleep after paying $160. No ty. There wasn’t even an offer to correct it.
