Historic Charm Exceeds Expectations
historic atmosphere clean room upgraded room friendly staff
The rooms are clean. They are well-kept. I enjoyed the historic atmosphere throughout the building. The bar had great food and a classy atmosphere. The staff were friendly, and my room was upgraded upon arrival when it was noted our anniversary.
The hotel has historic windows. These are thin. The location in a lively district can lead to considerable noise intrusion. I recommend bringing earplugs.

charming gaslamp stay
great location helpful staff quick walk
I appreciated the hotel's location near the gaslamp district and seaport village. it was a quick walk to the ferry for coronado island. ride-sharing to locations such as the airport and la jolla proved easy. the rates seemed fair too! the staff helped me before my check in time. They organized it without me even asking.
the historic windows are thin, and street noise did travel easily into my room. pedicabs and people talking below were quite audible.

Satisfactory stay overall
great location friendly staff tired room pricey parking
The location was great! It was so close to many options and activities. The staff was friendly and provided assistance when needed.
The rooms feel a bit tired. The bathroom, in particular, needs new fixtures and fittings. I also found the parking fee of $53 fairly pricey.
