First off, I know it was New Year's Eve, but with the New parking rules in San Diego doesn't give the hotels the right to rip off the customers 😔 . And there hidden fees. Second of all the pictures you see on the website are a lie the rooms are beyond tiny, I felt so claustrophobic I thought I was going to die. My room didn't even have a window, I asked them to be moved to another room and they ignored me. Also the elevator was beyond an Antique not a place for older people. Place needs to be condemned. felt so cloclaustrophobic

Enjoyed our stay very much! Right in the middles of Gaslamp and very close to the zoo and Belmont park. The rooftop was beautiful and the rooms were very clean, loved aesthetic. Had a nice view of the city and of the quarter from our room. Staff was very nice and attentive! Definitely recommend

As pictured the room was quite small, but cozy and cute! I’m all for aesthetic stays and historical elements, but the cleanliness was not up to par. There was hair left in the shower, scratched up walls, and some kind of smell in the room upon arrival. Aside from that, the bed was super comfy and sheets were crisp and clean (thank goodness). Unfortunately the little things like slight stains on the robes, towels, and shower curtain will make you feel quite uncomfortable on a vacation. Wouldn’t recommend for those of us who are used to luxury, but nice if you need a quick stay and won’t be in the hotel too much. Side note: there are hardly any windows in the rooms so you may feel claustrophobic. Not the type of hotel you stay in for long periods of time. But the lobby and diner were beautifully decorated and we still had a lovely time, staff was kind! Fun for a quick trip, it’ll do the trick. But not recommended for long stays.
