Can’t wait to stay again!

out of all the hotels I’ve had opportunity to stay in over the years,…I can’t wait to come back. It felt like staying in my own personal apartment.The view is more spectacular than I imagined!!! I was able to see all the fireworks from the rooftop, which made the trip extra special.The furniture was very moder & nicely decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. The location was amazing close to all the restaurants near the gas lamp district. I will request this room for future trips to come.

The in-place security measures did a lot to ease anxiety. There were attendant(s) at the door; and, you had to use room key to operate the elevator. I felt very safe! The roof-top deck was an added surprise. It afforded us a place to relax, meet other guest, sip our beverages (coffee and tea provided); also the view of the surrounding area was fantastic! The property is conveniently located and we were able to walk to restaurants, shops, the park, and the Convention Center. The airport is about 4 miles away! My husband and I enjoyed our stay; and, the staff was phenomonal! We highly recommend the Gaslamp Plaza Suites; and, we plan to stay there for future trips to San Diego!

It was nice to stay in an older building as opposed to the more modern hotels. Plus it was in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of Petco Park.

Lived in San Diego county my entire life. Worked in downtown 10 years and yet never spent the night there. I was pleasantly surprised, the staff were funny and very helpful. The roof top deck is amazing, so cool to get that perspective of downtown. It was especially cool that the building is a piece of downtown San Diego history, being a native San Diegan that meant a lot to me.
