The staff at the hotel was really friendly and helpful. The room was decently nice, love the view but it can use some upgrade. However, for two nights, it's worth the stay especially how convenient the location is.

This is wonderful place to stay if you are going to Petco Stadium. It’s an easy walk to restaurants in Gaslamp and has some hiatory, being built in 1913. Beautifully renovated suites. We would stay there again.

This location is fantastic, just steps away from a vibrant array of amenities including lively nightlife venues, diverse restaurants, the scenic bay, the nearby zoo, and other attractions. Keep in mind, since it’s right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, the nightlife can be quite lively, which might be disruptive for light sleepers. The room was lovely and cozy, featuring a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and a comfortable sitting area with plush chairs and a small sofa. Overall, it was a really enjoyable stay.

The staff were all very helpful and kind, but the area was exceedingly loud and the room did little to nothing to dampen the noise so if you’re looking for somewhere quiet this isn’t your place. Also, not family friendly.

We booked this the same Day we got into town. It was soo nice from beginning to end. The staff was super nice and friendly starting with the Valet Guy Casey who was super nice. Then when we checked in, Pablo was super friendly and recommended some great places in the area. The rooms were nice and decent. We ended up getting a standard room and decided to Stay an extra night. Also when we checked out Mary was super energetic and friendly and very helpful. We will definitely upgrade when we come again soon, in the heart of the Gas Lamp District but overall, this place was the perfect spot to stay. Totally highly recommend.
Love the history here, this was on the 2nd floor hallway :)

The hotel was very charming and the staff were very accommodating. Everything is close by within walking distance. The only drawback is that you can hear the clubs outside of the hotel and all the street noise very clearly all night/morning. I wouldn’t recommend if you are stay on a weekend and have little kids.
