Chemistry Convention
Overall, I had a great experience. Stayed there for seven days. The hotel was far away from the convention center, our frequent destination. We didn't have a car, so walking there took approximately 25-30 minutes. The rooms looked like they were newly renovated, painted with soothing colors. They have a black and white pictures of A GIRL MODEL (that's right, just one girl) throughout the hotel, which creepily stares directly in your soul. All staff members served with kindness and respect. However, we did have trouble getting in our room one night. When we went to the front desk, one of the front desk staff members did argue with me that leaving our credit card in our wallets caused our hotel keys to demagnetized. I told him the chances of three hotel cards demagnetizing at the same time were slim and this must of been an error on their part. He never apologized, nor admit he was wrong. Other than that, staff members gave great recommendations and were happy to assist. The hotel was essentially in a garage. Look down the center of the balcony was where they park the valet cars. The scenery at the hotel restaurant was very beautiful. It was very relaxing to eat out and had the view of the harbor.

Short walk from hotel
Do not go to Spaghetteria. From the moment we sat down, service was horrible till the time we left. Being a server and manager at a restaurant for seven years, they did absolutely EVERYTHING wrong from waiting to management.

Very Average, but Great Location
The hotel is in a great location. It is next to the trolly and train stations so it makes traveling to the harbor, TJ, or the gaslamp district a breeze. However, it gets pretty noisy at night. the ac/heater is not centralized and is also pretty loud. The bathrooms are not in the best conditions and yes, you might see a bug or two. This place reminded me more of a motel than hotel. The price, restaurant, and location really saved this hotel from getting a bad review.

Hospitality
I found the hotel to be very clean and the front desk staff to be awesome. If you needed something they went that extra mile to help you get it. I plan on returning to the same location again. Thank you

trying to be hipster but still a motel
Not a bad place to stay. Essentially a motel renovated with some upscale decorations and flair. Room was small, functional and clean (except the ac air filter). Restuarant was ok, they swept the floor around me during breakfast. Upscale menu was ok but limited. Valets were good. Deskstaff acceptable. They don't tell you on the website but valet parking is mandatory and $22 a day as of Nov 2011. Great location if you want to walk to Little Italy or even the bay/Spanish Landing. To far to walk to Gaslamp through downtown and bums sleeping on sidewalk.

I had a very good time at the hotel. It was a little loud on Sat. night. The Glass Door has a great view of the harbor. The prices were on the high side but the food was terrific. I would diffidently stay there again.
