Staff is great, rooms are pretty decent and location is great if your wanting to be in the gaslamp! But, while booking i find it quite deceptive as they do not have a pool or gym like it states when booking. I for sure wouldn't have booked if I had known that. But, overall it was a good stay. Walls are very thin as it's an old building.

Friendly staff both ladies were very helpful with all my questions. They also provided my room request which was to be on a quieter location rather than facing the street noise. Amenities were also available all the time; coffee, water and cookies :), plus Keurig coffee maker on the room. My only 2 comments, the bed was very soft for my comfort and the AC was from 2000s maybe, it worked fine, did its purpose of cooling the room, but was very noisy when turned on. Great location near top restaurants. Walking distance from bus and metro as well.

Everyone was super nice but what’s with the amenities fee? For the 3 bikes in the lobby that I saw nobody touch in the 5 days I was there… way too expensive for what this place is. Otherwise cute and nice. Came and cleaned the room one time in the 4 days… not super great.
