The room was as described, well-lit and comfortable. The central air conditioning worked great. They were also willing to store my 1 bag at the reception on my last day once I checked out. Very convenient location with public transport available nearby and the historic downtown / Gaslamp Quarter in walking distance.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was friendly, but unfortunately that was the only positive part of our experience. The hallway carpets were extremely dirty and there were strange smells throughout the floor. Our room had almost no lighting, and we even found dead bugs on the bed. Because of this, we decided not to stay and left shortly after checking in. There also appeared to be prostitution and people setting up tents around the hotel, which made the area feel unsafe.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff was nice. Property has a lot of houseless people around, but is fairly close to good restaurants and sites. Our room was dirty: mold in shower, metal A/C cover on the ceiling was missing screws and hanging down, sticky floor, and dirty walls. Bed was quite lumpy and bathroom door wouldn’t shut/was hanging on with one hinge. Would not stay there again despite the nice staff.
