    I just wish they had a gym on site.

    The hotel was wonderful and I enjoyed my stay. Very comfortable bed / bedding. Staff was excellent to deal with. Location to Petco Park and restaurants is great. Love that they have a water filling station in the lobby to refill reusable water bottles and even get hot water for coffee and tea.

    Boy, the Gaslamp has changed in the last 15-20 years. A lot of homelessness.

    Nice staff, room.

    Unfortunately, when we tried to book the same hotel for next year, they had doubled the room rate. So not cool. Next year we will be staying somewhere else.

    We stayed here for Comic-Con. Our room was great, and the staff was really helpful.

    The only thing I will say that really bothered me. The first time getting into the elevator to go up to our room- a labradoodle came out and tried to attack me. The lady holding the dog did not have control over the dog where a mad had to grab the dog from keeping him from biting me. Dogs should be vetted better at the hotel for guests safety. I was not traveling with a pet and was very uncomfortable after that situation but had already paid for our room so we stayed

    It is walking distance to Petco. Lots of restaurants and bars surrounding the hotel, expect some noise at night. The room we had, the noise was very minimal. And honestly, the bed is so magical- you’ll fall asleep with no problem. The look and feel of the hotel is warm and inviting. The rooms are a good size. The bathrooms are big. The streaming option was a very cool feature and the free items were nice.

    It doesn’t have its own parking lot. Had to pay $20 for overnight parking the block over. I think that’s very common in downtown areas though.

    They went above and beyond with their amenities. I feel like these days, hotels are offering less and less to get their room rates lower which I understand. For the rate I paid, I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating they were.

    It was more than I wanted to spend. Also, it would be helpful to have low profile dressers in the rooms. Two drawers is not enough for 2+ guests.

    The staff were very customer service driven. Everyone was nice. A special shout out to Adrianna!! She is wonderful.

    My room faced an inner courtyard, so was somewhat dark, but as I was out most of the day, this was a relatively minor issue.

    The location is a very short walk from the convention centre, which was very convenient for my work. In addition, being in the Gaslamp area meant that there were plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby as well, and a good atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, with tea/coffee making facilities, and I appreciated the water bar in the lobby, as well as the availability of drinks and snacks. The pineapple cookies were excellent!

    We booked the hotel mainly based on location and price and were presently surprised at how nice it is. The room was spacious with a very comfortable bed, and the price for the location and quality of hotel was great. The hotel "theme" is a little different, but we really grew to love it, will look for Staypineapples in other cities.

    Nothing to dislike!

    The staff were so friendly and helpful. The welcome drink, pineapple shaped cookies, painted doors, cycle loan, refillable water bottles, all added to the superb quirkiness of the excellent hotel. It was very clean. The bed was large and very comfortable with fabulous duvets. Good quality toiletries and towels. We would definitely stay again and most certainly recommend.

    Note on parking: It would be a nice touch to offer guests a discount or validation for nearby parking structures. I understand it’s common in downtown areas to have separate parking fees, but a small perk here would go a long way.

    Really enjoyed the stay – the room had a comfortable bed, good blackout blinds, and a stylish thematic decor. Appreciated the couple of complimentary drinks and the option to rent bikes on-site. Would recommend!

    Possibly the shower, it was very narrow and you had to be careful not to hit the door.

    Luckily I was allocated a room that did not face the street, so it was quite quiet. I travelled for a conference and stayed 5 nights in the hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was a good size, the location near the Convention Center was very convenient.
