Very convenient to the San Diego convention center, clean and quiet, welcome drink was a nice touch, they were doing construction while I was there so the elevator was slow and covered with cardboard during my stay. No issues and would stay here again.

My son stayed at this hotel during his visit to San Diego and had a great experience overall! The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city, making it convenient to get around and enjoy everything San Diego has to offer. One of the perks he really appreciated was the daily gym pass, which was a nice bonus and something that made the stay even better. The only downside was the construction happening during his stay. Other than that, it was a great place! The central location and added amenities made it a worthwhile stay. I would absolutely consider booking here again for future visits. Overall, a great hotel in an excellent location!

The hotel is very cute with an ideal location. Walking is preferred being centered in the gaslamp across the street from Nova nightclub and only around the corner from Petco Park, Gallagher Square, and the convention center. Super clean with a complimentary beverage upon arrival. No fridge in room but the new remodel is very plush. Filtered water and sparkling either hot or cold available 24/7 in the lobby. Valet is $65 a night which is to be expected for Downtown.
