Super friendly, fast easy check-in. Rooms are spacious and clean with a large TV. The air conditioner would not get the room cold. A tech came and tried to improve the cooling however it never got below 71’. Also the shower had left over hair in the tub and was hard the get the water temperature under control. Location was excellent and within walking distance of everything in the Gas Lamp district. Pool on the 4th floor was a nice touch along with the restaurant. I would stay here again as I am sure the minor issues would get fixed.

Really lovely hotel, close enough to gaslamp and downtown if you need to be in that area but out of the blast radius of late night bro energy you might get elsewhere. Ended up with a balcony room facing south with a huge bathtub and beautiful view of Petco Park and Coronado Island, well worth it. One thing to note: the pool is very nice but on the small side, get down there early to grab a spot if planning on a pool day.

The room was amazing, one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve stayed in. Please just change the shower heads, the one in my room wasn’t working properly and I when I called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do. Overall amazing stay, I booked the corner room with the city view. Absolutely stunning sunset!

Really nice hotel with comfy beds. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Only downsides were lukewarm shower, super expensive parking, and homelessness problem on the streets surrounding the hotel. Also, we wanted to sit out on the roof deck but most of the area was closed for a private event.

This property was in a great location in Gaslamp district. However, it is right next door to the House of Blues and various bars. We could walk most anywhere we wanted to go, including to the amazing Farmer's Market in Little Italy on Saturday. The staff was super friendly and helpful. There is complimentary coffee in the mornings and a nice seating area in the lobby. We loved the pool! It was not crowded, and cabana's are available first come, and no charge! Plus, their bar/restaurant was open and they had staff who provided great poolside service. We requested an ADA room so we'd have more space for the three of us friends staying in the room, however the beds were only full size, so a bit small for grown adults to share. The would not allow a roll away for fire reasons. The rooms were very nice, clean and decor was modern. Would stay her again for sure!
