The air conditioner sounds like a motorcycle starting up, very hard to sleep with. The hotel is very cute, the area seems a little rough… a lot of police sirens and people screaming in the alley all night.

The room, though small by today's standards, was clean and tidy. My only wish for the room would be a comfortable chair to sit in. Aside from that, the bed and bedding was comfortable, the bathroom quiant, and the service excellent.

Cons - we requested more towels/a robe, which never came. Elevator is a historical relic, which is interesting but not convenient for traveling. Couldn’t accommodate a 30-minute late checkout. Pros - Diptheque products, one really nice, helpful front desk rep, and accommodated an early check-in.

Such a beautiful unique hotel that is over 100 years old. The room was very cute and clean and with a huge bathroom. Gas lamp district is right around the corner and there is amazing restaurants everywhere. Make sure you visit the roof where you get an amazing full San Diego city view.

Disliked: Amenities
Only one of the elevators were working and it’s very, very slow. I was on the 9th floor and had to use the stairs a few times because I was already waiting for the elevator for 10 minutes. The room also had no views at all. It only had one window that faced a wall. The “bathroom” sink was in the middle of room, very weird. I’ve stayed at the Palihotel in Santa Barbara and it was lovely. Definitely not the same experience this time. ELL not be coming back.

The rooms are very clean, and the hallways are spotless as well. The entire hotel is beautifully maintained. The staff is very friendly, and I love the ambiance—it has a charming vintage feel that makes it seem like a little French Quarter getaway. The restaurant downstairs is amazing, and the bar downstairs is cute. The upstairs bar was closed for renovations. My only complaint is the elevator. It’s old, so it takes its time going up. If you’re into that vintage feel, you might enjoy it, but after a couple of rides, it does become a bit annoying.

The decor in the hotel is unique/tasteful with a touch of history - I love the plaque of "fastest in the world" in the elevator. My room was very comfortable. The staff was helpful/polite/friendly. The rooftop was a beautiful spot to enjoy a perfect SD day. I'm really glad that I stayed here and would love to come back soon.
