153 year old hotel (oldest in So Cal) in a great downtown SB location. Sufficiently good condition and comfortable king bed so what more do you need for a crash pad after a concert and a night of partying?

We were supposed to get a king size bed, when we got to the property all that we had was a queen size. We were not able to change this and were unable to contact Expedia to make the change. Otherwise it was excellent

The hotel is in a really good location. Easy to walk to State Street where there are a lot of shops. But also to attractions, museums, historical sites, and the wharf area. Our room was cozy and quiet. The grounds are nicely kept. The only negative is a small one. There are not enough electric outlets for charging our electronics at the same time.
