It's a cute boutique hotel. It's old and has an old smell to it. But no problems with our stay.

Nice property, well kept and good staff. But NOISY! It sits right on top of Gaslamp and the walls/windows don’t block noise at all. If you’re there on a weekend it’s going to be sirens, alarms, yelling and noise until 2AM.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
With just the service alone, I'd rate this place 5 stars! The front desk person on our arrival had the most positive, infectous, energetic that made our long drive worth it! She allowed us to check i early and gave us a nice room upgrade. From then on our daily experiences were perfect and amazing! The room was spacious and very nice. Beds were great and sleep friendly. The kids had their own space separate and had dual bathrooms. Parking was easy and accessible with a very reasonable daily price. Right near 4th and 5th street on gaslamp made it easy to go around and stroll downtown. Rooms werent noisy at all and could barely hear other rooms which made it even better! Again the staff made our stay the best on a long list of other places we have stayed and will be back soon!

Very friendly staff. Room was big and spacious. Has a microwave, fridge, and real plates/silverwares. Big bathroom and clean. Bed is not comfortable at all, spring mattress. That was my biggest cons. Toss and turn all night.
