The property is located in the Gas Lamp District and is an older property. It is kept up but shows its age. “The Melting Pot” restaurant is connected to the property. There are many restaurants and bars located nearby. The hotel has a rooftop area you can take drinks or your dinner to.

Mary and the entire front desk were very welcoming and friendly! The hotel has a vast history and a really cool vide to it. The rooms were very clean and bed was comfortable. I felt safe which is very important to me since I was traveling alone. I would come back her to stay with my children and recommend this hotel to anyone! Thank you staff at Gaslamp Plaza Suites! See you again soon!

Front desk manager who has been with company for over 30 years was the best! Great recommendations, free upgrade to a nice suite. So even though the hotel showing a little age, the service put this at a 10/10
