I stayed here for a convention and loved being away from the typical convention hotels. The room was great and the small balcony was so nice. The building is older and I appreciate the charm. The pictures are accurate, the staff was friendly. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. I would stay here again if i came back for another conference.

Beautiful hotel within walking distance to conference center in 5 minutes and right in the Gaslamp district. Beautiful bar attatched to hotel. The center, outdoor room was a bonus to drink coffee, get work down or just have down time. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They have recommendations for breakfast and coffee which were WINS! I would stay here again for sure.
