    Only downside was the room was a bit humid/wet smelling.

    Amazing inclusive breakfast if you’re vegan/vegetarian, lovely staff and great location!

    The air con was a bit tricky to run and ended up causing a weird condensation that made the carpet feel wet. Once we worked out the settings it dried everything out.

    Great big suite sized rooms with kitchens. Closeness to gaslamp

    the pool is TINY, it should be turned into a jacuzzi.

    The room was clean and nice. The check in was friendly and informational. There’s alot of places to park. The location is smack dead in the middle of Gaslamp. Which is awesome you can walk everywhere.

    We were put off the valet parking on site due to the cost and opted to park at public parking next door - mistake ! Ended up costing more and our rental car was badly vandalised through the night Wish we’d paid the valet 😩

    The hotel was in a great location for exploring Gaslamp with so many restaurants and bars nearby

    Furniture could use some upgrade and renovation. The pool was underwhelming. And I was quite surprised by the use of single-use plastic cutlery and paper plates at the breakfast restaurant. This must produce tons of garbage every day! Moreover, hot breakfast items were mediocre (with the exception of a do-it-yourself waffle maker which was a great feature).

    Convenient location in the heart of Gaslamp Quarter very close to the baseball stadium and convention center. Spacious rooms with kitchenettes. Nice and helpful staff. Stylish lobby area with cool decorative surfboards :) And the small "market" by the reception with essential items should be an example to all hotels around the world!

    They offered no smoking patio. I understand the smoke free rooms. But should at least offer a patio for smokers who stay.

    Liked the location was in a good area with alot of restaurants and shops. Was also very cool to see the Padres stadium from there. Staff was friendly. Only complaint was the bar had odd hours . Couldn't get a cocktail. But would definitely stay again.

    Loved everything but the towels looked clean but had a musky smell.

    Clean, the laundry, staff, location and facilities all fantastic. Was tossing up staying here or a newer/more expensive place across the road but so happy we stayed here. The breakfast is awesome so good. A lot of people in comments complained re valet but it’s $65 in all the hotels.

    Not a great view from our room, but that's but a minor, minor nitpick in what was otherwise an excellent stay.

    Big, comfortable room with all the amenities...refrigerator, freezer, microwave, kitchen area. Above all, though, the location is excellent...walking distance from bars, restaurants, concert venues, etc.

    Free breakfast buffet wasn't that good. Sausage was horrible, potatoes weren't very good. Orange juice even tasted a little off, almost like it was watered down or something. Also, the valet so that we could park our car... $65 per day! That wasn't mentioned anywhere when we booked the room. Room itself was nice though, complete with mini kitchen.

    Excellent location. Place was nice.

    Parking on property is too expensive. Park in the 24 hour garage 1 block down 6th with the entrance in the left, the other side of the street from the hotel. Do not use the parking lot directly after the hotel on the right, the same side of the street as the hotel-very expensive, parking spaces are very tight

    Friendly staff, quick check in and check out

    We stayed in an accessible room (handicapped) which gave us a good accessible bathroom, but the bed was too high. My wife needed a step stool ( that I provided-just in case). Re-think adding a "normal" height type bed for handicapped guests.

    Good accessible bathroom. The room seating was comfortable and enjoyed the coffee in the room. Very good breakfast selection.
