Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. While the rooms were spotless and bright, having two double beds for just my girlfriend and me was a downside. The nice furniture added a nice touch to the spacious rooms. The staff was always friendly and quick to assist, making the service truly phenomenal. The convenient location in downtown was great for exploring the area, although the noise from the tram was a bit bothersome. The dining options were not the best, but the fresh and local products made up for it. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, with plenty of comfortable seating and a king-size bed overlooking the bustling Gaslamp quarters filled with all kinds of restaurants. The service from the staff was exceptional, going out of their way to make my stay special. The location was our main priority, with so many great dining options nearby, although the dining experience itself had some room for improvement. Overall, a great place to stay!
The hotel's location is great, near popular attractions and shopping areas. The rooms are spacious but could have better soundproofing. The service was efficient but lacked attention to detail at times. The central location is convenient for exploring the downtown area. The dining options were average with slow service during breakfast.
The hotel offers spacious and nicely decorated rooms from a different era, providing plenty of comfortable seating. The service is top-notch with very pleasant and accommodating staff. The location is excellent, just a minute's walk from the trolley station with nearby grocery and shopping options. The dining experience is outstanding but slightly pricey. Overall, a great stay with a few minor noise issues and pricey dining.
