I booked this hotel very last-minute when I had to leave a horrible Airbnb experience early. The room was clean and comfortable. I especially enjoyed using the outdoor rooftop gym. There are plenty of machines, free weights, a running track, lap pool, and jacuzzi. Good walking distance to bars and restaurants in Gaslamp. Parking in the garage is $45 a night but the garage right across the street is only $24 a night.

San Diego is a beautiful place to visit and this hotel had good reviews. Staff was spectacular and very accommodating. The room itself was beautiful. The chandeliers walking in were amazing. This also seems to be a very popular hotel for flight staff. I seen many flight attendants going in and out the entire stay. There are a lot of fees at this hotel. Maybe it's just a San Diego thing. This hotel is very close to the Gaslamp district. Right around the corner from Blue Bottle Coffee. Went there every morning! Also a very short walk away from little Italy. I love it! I only took away

This hotel is absolutely Stunning! From the moment you pull up to valet, and the service is Exceptional. When you approach the lobby it is absolutely breathtaking. Class, Elegance, and a feeling of an old school class era. Gorgeous decor, clean hotel and bathrooms. Everyone has been really welcoming and nice. The rooms are very roomy! The pool is heated, and jacuzzi is very hot and relaxing. We shared a club sandwich when we arrived and it was really good. Strongly recommend this gorgeous classy gem.

Wouldn't recommend. Lobby is nice and goes downhill from there. Rips in the curtains, floor is dirty and stained. Furniture is outdated and smells like an old grandmas house. The tub took FOREVER to drain and when I called they said "yea it does that" .... Just inconsiderate. For the price they charge go somewhere else.. I didn't step on the floor let alone open my luggage. Feels like a motel 6.

First, the good: the beds are comfortable, there are bathrobes in the closet, the live music on the veranda is a nice touch. I didn't use it, but the gym (across the street) looks well appointed from the pictures online. Our room was very clean. The food was fine. The clientele are very diverse in many ways, which is cool. The constructive: this hotel is old and the decor reminds of staying at my great aunt's house (and not in a good way). It doesn't feel old school - it just feels old. Room service ends at 9 pm.
