Staff was very nice. The room was clean and the bathroom modern. We were on the second floor and they give you complimentary ear plugs and sound machine to drown out noise (from the street it’s assumed) but it wasn’t loud during the week. What was loud is the cleaners who were vacuuming right outside our door at 9 and the chairs were being moved around in the upstairs unit all night. Maybe it’s a banquet room or something. Parking is $65 per night - ouch! Would probably not stay again.

We arrived late on New Year’s Eve and the front desk person was nowhere to be found. The front door was closed and secured as it was New Year’s Eve but we were stuck outside for nearly 30 minutes until she returned. When she did return she acted a little put out to doing her job. Not really what we wanted to deal with after spending a day traveling Proximity to the loud night clubs was a surprise, as they are blasting music until 2am or so every night. The saving grace was a white noise machine, but it didn’t block enough out. Not the hotels fault. The room was clean, and well appointed. Housekeeping was great. Proximity to a variety of restaurants, the trolley system were pluses for us.

The hotel was nice. The rooms were clean. The gym was very nice. The only problem is if you get the city view room, then don't expect to get any sleep until after the night club across the street closes around 2:00am! Super loud. We actually had to switch rooms our last night there so we could get some sleep.

The hotel's location is ideal for those seeking vibrant nightlife and downtown activities, making it convenient for my partner and me to explore the local bar scene without extensive walking. The abundance of nearby dining options is an added benefit. The hotel itself boasts a stylish, modern, and clean aesthetic, complemented by an exceptional staff that warmly greeted us each time we entered or exited the premises. The lobby features a cozy bar, perfect for unwinding, and there is a pleasant area to soak up some sun at the front of the building. While the rooms are somewhat compact, the balcony provided a delightful escape that overshadowed any concerns about size. However, it can be quite noisy, particularly on weekends, so those seeking tranquility should request a room at the back; the hotel thoughtfully provides earplugs as a nice touch. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the television was a generous size, and the refrigerator was useful for our beverages. The bathroom also offered excellent lighting. This hotel may not be suitable for families or those desiring a peaceful retreat, as it caters more to couples and solo travelers looking for an energetic experience in the Gaslamp Quarter. Overall, it was a solid choice for an exciting city stay, and I would certainly choose to return.
