Petco visit
This place has as excellent location! Some noise at night but we tolerated it is it was well documented. It could use some touch ups-bathroom door frame &walls, bathroom floor, the bedding was very wrinkled and comforter had “balls” wadding of inner stuffing. Also, the bed is extremely low to the ground!! The elevator was horrible! We used once! And hallway-well the door was off slider to “electrical.” I attempted to communicate about check out duties and I kept getting message to “take trash out but not necessary!” We left earlier than expected and wanted to do everything the night before; I finally called the 3rd party and they informed me plus then I got more info night before. The “no front desk” is odd.
Would I stay here again? Probably due to location as we were there for baseball games.

I would it stay here!
Horrible. I ended up NOT STAYING, the building is run down. The building has a dense musty smell,I could not breathe it! The elevator looks as though it will fall apart. There is NO parking especially if there is a game nearby. I had 4 rooms reserved and had to find another place for all of us, because I would not ask my staff to stay there!
The room was cute and well-maintained. I knew going in that it was located above a bar & restaurant, but the level of noise until 2:00am - 3:00am couldn't even begin to be drowned out by the earplugs provided on the nightstand. I also sleep with the tv on, which would've helped with the outside noise levels, but that wasn't possible with the only option for tv being to stream video from my phone through a horrible internet connection there. The Chromecast constantly disconnected, as well as the internet constantly buffering.
I was in town for a convention at the convention center several blocks away, but checked out 2 days early after 2 nights of little sleep and having to walk around homeless people and vomit on the sidewalks. Again, their room was nice, but the area was overall gross.

An excellent suite in a great location.
An excellent suite with a separate kitchen and living room which I wasn’t expecting. Right in the middle of the gaslamp quarter, which is quite a noisy area, but I had no problem with street noise possibly because my room was on the top floor. A great location, only 5 minute walk from Petco Park.
Great location in the heart of the Gaslamp district, close to everything. Although it’s an older property and the entrance and elevator is basic, the unit was comfortable with beautiful skylights in the kitchen and living room. The unit was well stocked for anything we needed. Towels and bedding were clean and good quality. The WiFi worked well. It’s noisy at night but earplugs were provided. Tons of eating options for every budget right outside but not much nearby in terms of groceries. Enjoyed the stay! Thanks!
I’ve lived in a major city and have been to Gaslamp before, so I knew what to expect. The unit was super small and yes, is on top of a busy restaurant. But it was clean, nice, and pretty quiet (I got lucky and wasn’t over the street). The location is great if you want to party in Gaslamp or don’t mind noise.
My only problem was when there was an issue with accessing the property due to a technical malfunction with the lock. The customer service channels Kasa advertises aren’t great. Text messages weren't answered and it took a really long time to get a person on the phone. The rep was nice and tried hard to help me, but she ultimately couldn’t get a hold of anyone to meet us onsite to help. Thankfully my party found a workaround, but it wasn’t thanks to Kasa.
This is worth the price if you manage your expectations and have the flexibility to navigate issues like the door thing without an army of hotel employees available.

Oof
Above a nightclub. Hallway and common areas smelled like urine and trash. Sheets felt unclean. I left at 2AM for another hotel. No partial refund offered. Definitely not recommended.

If you like to go and party it's a great place but don't expect to get a good night's sleep. I should have known as soon as I saw earplugs and a sound machine placed next to the bed. Earplugs did not help as the whole room was shaking from the outside loud music.
Could also use a good deep cleaning.
Loved how comfy the bed was a long with the linen. Very clean room. Really couldn't hear the bars down below, but across the alley on the roof next door, there was a AC fan rattling all night. Other than that my wife and I would definitely come back to this place.

Great stay in Gaslamp during Superbowl
Everything was great. Was worried it might be noisy because of location in the Gaslamp and it being Super Bowl, but everything was quiet and they even supplied earplugs just in case.
Check in/check out was simple and no issues.
Great value, clean and updated room with a nice little kitchen. Will definitely stay again.
Overall it was a good experience. There was no body wash in the shower and the showerhead was very old and did not provide good pressure. The bedding was very comfortable but there was a small stain on the sheets.

The room was spacious and well-equipped. It was clean, although there was no room cleaning performed during my stay - I would have liked some fresh towels, at least. The property is very well located, walking distance from many food and drink options as well as many grocery stores. The main issue is the noise coming from the street and from the restaurant and bar downstairs - you can literally make out conversations. When the music starts playing, both live and recorded, sleeping becomes nearly impossible. I always travel with earplugs, but even they couldn't keep out the thumping bass. Needless to say, sleeping was difficult and fitful. The noise may be limited to the second floor room facing Fifth Street, since it's right above the restaurant and bar, so it's best to verify which room you'll be getting.

First time in a place like this! Once you stay you’ll understand. At first you walk in an alley way that feels illegal between el Chingon nightclub/restaurant and another eatery! They text you the code and you walk through a hallway with food workers and go either up some stairs or elevator and go to your room! We got the queen with own room for some extra room — it was nice and spacious (still felt crowded and dim for some reason). You can tell these were apartments at some time.
The other reviews that say the hotel was “extremely loud:” A) you’re staying in downtown Gaslamp on 5th avenue, why else are you there is not for the fun and vibrant nightlife? B) we truly TRIED to listen for any noise when we finally went to sleep around midnight and couldn’t hear a sound.
All in all, we had a good experience (just different from other stays such as the hard rock down the street). The property was able to accommodate our request for early check in which was great, they communicated to you the access code to get into the building and your room. And it was RIGHT in the center of gaslamp—what more could you ask for!
The biggest downside was parking — no parking on property or valet so plan your parking prior to getting down there (or get quoted an outrageous amount of 180$ for Athene LAZ parking down the street).
On a Saturday night we paid 21$ (2pm-next day at 1:30pm) for ACE parking “park it on market” which was about a 5 minute walk. Garage/gated/security. WELL worth it.
