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.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. But so many issues with the hotel itself, the hotel undergoing MAJOR remodeling and you will be effected by it. First and most annoying was NO hot water for either shower or sink the next morning. And the shower handle wouldn't even turn passed the 1/2 way point so I figured it was the shower handle not the hot water itself. So being in a hurry to catch the train I thought I'd just wash up in the sink, no luck there no hot water ever came out of the tap. And it turned out my travel companion who was in a different room on a different floor had the same experience. The "standard" room was overlooking an air shaft, with frosted windows, so very dark inside. No extra blanket, and just a thin blanket on the bed, no bedside table to put things on, no luggage rack, no bath mat or rug to step on getting out of the shower. Lacking in so many of the basics it was like this place had just opened yesterday. The location was fine, but you could tell you were getting into a sketchy area of the Gaslamp district. I would not recommend the hotel even thought the staff was very pleasant, the amount of issues with the rooms couldn't be remedied by friendly kind staff. Stay somewhere else.
