The front desk staff was rude (Jose). Didn’t have a first aid kit, and nobody was available to talk to when needed. We asked the front for sheets and never received anything. Phone was never picked up, hotel was never busy to not answer

When I arrived the key to our rooms didn’t work so they had to let guest back into their rooms all day. I requested a roll in shower when I booked the lady at front desk confirmed it had a roll in shower ADA accessible restroom which it wasn’t. When we asked why they blamed Expedia & told me they didn’t have any other rooms so I couldn’t shower the next day. Also no parking we had to pay for parking down the street. So all in all terrible experience

Disliked: Cleanliness

The property appears to be remodeled and is very nice. The rooms are small especially for more than 3 people. The front staff was very nice with the exception of one young lady, that when asked why our room was not cleaned and towels refreshed responsed by saying, “maybe you should stay at another hotel.” The only critique I have is cleanliness, and obviously the rude girl. The bathroom had black mold. The rest of the employees were courteous and very respectful; especially Erick, the gentleman working valet. The hotel sits very close to the light rail which was a plus and about a 15 minute walk to the Gaslamp District. I probably would never stay there again.
