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.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel. They sent several text messages beginning before I even arrived and throughout my stay asking how things were going and how I was doing. They were always responsive as well. The front staff was very sweet and friendly. The hotel is clean and very nicely decorated and furnished. The room was clean and had everything I needed. I would definitely stay here again.
