The location was perfect in Downtown San Diego, and when we arrived they offered to upgrade our room. The room was beautiful, clean, and exceeded our expectations. The staff were all very kind and welcoming. It was a bit noisy, but that’s just part of being in the Gaslamp District, and we didn’t notice it at all the second night. We will absolutely be booking here when we visit San Diego again!

Beautiful historical building--rooms are very comfortable. The only negative thing is nothing to do with hotel but the noise outside at nighttime when your trying to sleep--I had earplugs in & it was party central--all night long!
