The location was perfect in Downtown San Diego, and when we arrived they offered to upgrade our room. The room was beautiful, clean, and exceeded our expectations. The staff were all very kind and welcoming. It was a bit noisy, but that’s just part of being in the Gaslamp District, and we didn’t notice it at all the second night. We will absolutely be booking here when we visit San Diego again!

The hotel was very charming and the staff were very accommodating. Everything is close by within walking distance. The only drawback is that you can hear the clubs outside of the hotel and all the street noise very clearly all night/morning. I wouldn’t recommend if you are stay on a weekend and have little kids.
