This is our favorite hotel to stay at. It is a fun location with lots to do in walking distance. The hotel is extremely clean and staff is friendly and helpful. The only downside is the room was very small, but it’s not too bad.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very kind and helpful the entire stay & the hotel itself is very clean and new (minimal carpeted floors which I always look for). The only thing I could see being an issue for some travelers is it is in the heart of the Gaslamp district, so it can get a little loud during the weekends until last call. It was perfect for my little sister and I but is definitely something to consider when booking a place in Downtown SD :) That being said the location was fantastic! Close to so many good restaurants and bars & pretty close to the Padres stadium too!

After reading reviews I was unsure about booking this hotel, my stay was amazing! The staff was very welcoming and provided everything I needed. The hotel is in the heart of gaslamp and every walking accessible to anything in mind. The pool and rooftop bar are both very nice add to relax. Overall a great stay recommended staying here.

AC Hotels consistently provide good value and the Gaslamp hotel lived up to expectations. The room was quiet and comfortable. Valet parking was efficient. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of PetCo Park and other spots in the Gaslamp District. As with other California cities, the homeless problem in San Diego seems to be getting worse and makes walking around feel unsafe, as vagrancy is tolerated, if not incentivized. It was the only negative part of staying here, and not the hotel's fault -- rather, failed state and local leadership. San Diego's downtown otherwise has a lot of potential. I remember it being much cleaner when I was here years ago.

Rooms were small but very clean! Host/Hostess were so hospitable and polite. Customer service was amazing! They decorated the room for us for my anniversary! We did have a balcony room and city view. So just a tip, if your’re looking to get some rest, don’t book it. It’s pretty loud on the weekends through the entire night because the room is directly above all the action. But overall, very nice experience! I’m prime location. I will definitely stay there again!
