We loved the rooftop and the friendly staff, but after all the reviews we read, we expected the room to be more spacious. We didn’t even have a view, just a glass window that you couldn’t even look out of. It felt like a prison. The room was clean and the hotel is extremely convenient as we were out exploring most of the time. But make sure to always ask for a suite not a room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was very clean and we were upgraded to a junior suite which was unexpected and nice! Staff was very friendly. The noise from the Gaslamp was pretty excessive late into the evening but that's to be expected. We didn't spend a lot of time on the property because we are out and about. Highly recommend going to the 10th floor for panoramic view of the marina Coronado Island etc. Overall a good stay and we would come back but we would probably ask for a room that doesn't face the main strip.

It was clean, nice rooms setup. Like a 1 bedroom apt. Nice view, great location, although the windows did need some cleaning on the outside. It’s probably better in the summer.? Staff was great, valet was great. Id stay there again. Wasnt able to visit the lower bar area, or the adjacent restaurant… but maybe next time

FEB 2026 — Really good location, a bit dated but that’s also the charm. You’re at the “top” of gaslamp area so walking to amazing restaurants couldn’t be easier. Convention center is a very nice 8 min walk. Very much enjoyed the rooftop area although it’s really just one coffee machine and patio tables up there but the hotel is correct in that the views are really great. Very quiet hotel on the 6th floor, don’t even know if I had neighbors, maybe once during the week heard a fire truck or ambulance outside (which is true for any downtown hotel). House cleaning was excellent everyday and near spotless each time. Room A/C and heat was pretty fast, although the jr suites in this hotel are on the small side so easy to get temp to where you want. Amenities are super basic “farmer bothers” coffee (do not recommend, tons of options near by) and non-named shampoo/conditioner wall pump style, but at the rate you are paying for this room, not bad at all. After this stay with a conference at the convention center, for the rate, a pretty good value and location. Valet parking is pricey but that is everywhere and the valet guys were super nice and helpful. Very much a go-to hotel if you don’t want to pay $350/night at the other large chain hotels nearby.

The hotel felt depressing. It was old and felt haunted. When I booked the room there was no mention of active construction going on as well, so most of the hotel looked like a scene from Dexter‘s kill room. The sheets felt like sandpaper. The staff was nice.

Room was very clean and charming. It was the junior suite and was perfectly sized with a couch and desk. The hotel itself was silent, I wouldn't have guessed there was anyone else staying there except I kept seeing people in the elevator, lobby and elevator. But San Diego isn't silent and on NFL playoff weekend the bar across the street was rowdy until after midnight.
