Very good hotel! Clean and tidy room, with a very easy check in process. I was also able to extend checkout from 11 to 12 with a simple phone call down to the front desk :) Staff was very accommodating and friendly for my one night staycation in San Diego!

My partner and I had a wonderful time! We stayed from Wednesday to Friday, and the street noise very minimal. The front desk agent, Merry, was so funny and kind and gave us an upgrade since it was available! She also told us what was going on around the Gaslamp Quarter and was very helpful during our stay. The valet was also insanely helpful whenever I left items in my car and they happily grabbed them for me! Our stay was nothing short of amazing!

Nothing is WORSE than encountering a KAREN IN PUBLIC. But to deal with one on your vacation, and THEN have them check you in.... Nightmare.... When I asked if there was any comps for an early check in, she give me smirk, laughed and said NOT for free and offered me a higher nightly rate than what was advertised on Expedia or on their website. This place is NOT gay friendly and she's from my experience doesn't seem open to welcoming POC.PLUS my room smelled like weed!
