Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was conveniently located, offering a great stay overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although a bit small. The service was excellent, with helpful and friendly staff. The dining options were varied and enjoyable. However, the location had some dated aspects, and there was a strange smell in the rooms at times.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the room I stayed in was lovely and clean, but the downside was facing the brick wall of the building next door. The service was excellent overall, with a warm and welcoming staff, but the early morning noise from setting up breakfast was quite bothersome. The location is great, with easy access to the Gas Lamp District's attractions, although it can get loud on weekends. Dining options were adequate but uninspired, not leaving a lasting impression. Despite some setbacks, my stay was mostly enjoyable.
The hotel offers a cozy and ideal stay for solo travelers or couples, with small but comfortable rooms that could use additional blankets. The service is exceptional, providing a top-notch experience throughout. The location is superb, putting you right in the heart of the vibrant Gas Lamp area. The dining experience is satisfactory, with room for improvement on the buffet options. Overall, a great value for the convenient location and friendly service provided.
The hotel offers outstanding comfort in rooms, the bed was amazing, but noise could be an issue. The service was excellent with helpful staff, but some information was missing. The location is great near the harbor and convention center. The dining experience has some room for improvement. Overall, a good value for money option.
Staying on the ground floor exposed us to outside noise from events, yet it kept us connected. The room was small with slow and low-quality Wi-Fi. The location is ideal for exploring the Gaslamp quarter and offers a charming atmosphere, although not many shops nearby. The dining was plentiful but could be improved. Friendly staff and great historic ambiance.
The hotel rooms were fantastic, providing lots of space but with potential for improvements in layout. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff throughout. The location was ideal for exploring the Gaslamp District and nearby attractions. The dining experience was excellent, especially with live entertainment, though prices were on the higher side. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a cozy style with a chimney in the rooms, but they were on the smaller side for a king room and very dated. While the service was inconsistent, lying about parking availability, and being right on top of the patio, some aspects like dry cleaning and valet parking were decent. The location was a highlight, perfect for walking to mini bars and eateries, and within walking distance of attractions like Petco Park and the USS Midway museum. The dining experience was mixed, with cold food and limited options, but the Dim Sum was really good. Overall, a place with some charm but room for improvement.
The hotel didn’t quite live up to the grand pictures, with no fridge or microwave in the room and a lack of electrical outlets. Despite the disorganization, the staff was friendly and helpful. Parking came at an extra cost of $46, and the shower handle was in need of repair. Unfortunately, the hotel's charm turned eerie with unexpected ghost tours passing by.
I had a great experience at the hotel! The rooms were really nice, with a comfy bed and everything spotlessly clean. The staff was fantastically friendly and even recommended a fun breakfast place for us. The location was perfect for exploring the Gaslamp district, just wish they were a bit more organized at the front desk. The dining was amazing with all the details and colors, the buffet offered great value and the server staff were very helpful. Overall, a fantastic stay with a few hiccups here and there.
The hotel is located in party central San Diego, right in the Gaslamp District. The rooms between buildings were small and dark but clean, retaining a historic charm. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. The hotel's dining options were good value for money, offering Asian street food and lobby continental breakfast. While being slightly loud due to the vibrant neighborhood, its proximity to various attractions makes it a comfortable stay.
