We were very surprised at our wonderful room and view of the downtown. Loved the terrace upstairs, we enjoyed our bottle of wine and again a stunning view. The staff was helpful to getting around the Gaslamp for food. We will be happy to return another time.

8/10 Very good

Great location. Rooms are very well laid out. The walls are super thin, so you hear everything (child yelling in the other room, street sounds and bar activities late into the night). My room faced E street. Staff were super helpful and friendly.

Staff: I had to change the room name 3 times, and the people at the front desk were SOOO kind. Not any complaints or bad attitude, they were amazing and super kind. That's the most important thing in this business, kindness and empathy. Also amazing rooms! I would be back here with no clue.

The building is beautiful. The room while small was nice, clean, and comfortable. There is a small kitchenette with utensils and plates. It was so convenient. The staff was incredible! If you don't know where to eat, ask them. They have great recommendations. Also, I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste. I called the front desk and within MINUTES one of the staff members was knocking on my door with both. Lastly, please, DO NOT miss going to the rooftop. The view is lovely. I worked there for almost an entire afternoon in beautiful April weather. It was so nice! I had a great experience in this hotel.

4/10 Fair

Hotel and rooms are quite run down and bathroom could use an upgrade. For the price we paid, I expected better but I do need to acknowledge that they accommodated a very early check in with a room upgrade when we arrived before 9am. Since we were in the Gaslamp, there was very loud noise on Friday and Saturday night. Not just music and people going out, but what sounded like street racing, and people on megaphones, and obnoxious sirens. This was on the 5th floor. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to others.
