The bed was comfortable and had great cover for the full windows/sunlight. The top level terrace was an amazing view and staff was excellent. The noise from the street however, was so interruptive of sleep up until 1-2am consistently, it was not a place we can stay at and have early morning commitments and full/long days of plans.

The woman at the front desk was exceptionally happy and responsive. As soon as I walked in the front door and spoke to her, I knew I would love this place. We only stayed one night, but it was very clean and cozy. I would highly recommend it.

Staying in Gaslamp District can always be noisey. This hotel is nice however my room window had a crack in it and you can hear all the traffic pretty well coming from the street. Bedroom window was fine. Suite was pretty and LOVED the rooftop deck
