    The reception staff was friendly and helpful. The coffee maker and fridge in the room were a bonus. The hotel was calm, even though it is located 5 minutes' walk from a busy and lively Gaslamp area.

    The staff were all friendly and accommodating. I lost an item one night and they were very helpful in finding it. The location is right within downtown and a short walk from Gaslamp. There are free candies at reception which was a nice touch.
