This was just a room for me. It was clean but had some mold on the shower and shower bar. To be expected with age. I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back.

This hotel is in the perfect location for a great stay in San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter! Walking distance from great restaurants, ice cream parlors, bars, dancing, even an awesome farmer's market on Saturday in little Italy. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back.
