Top Gaslamp Quarter Hotel Reviews

Staypineapple, Hotel Z, Gaslamp San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed while attending a conference. Clean and staff were super nice and helpful. Loved the water refill station. There is definitely a lot of street noise, but I travel with a small white noise machine that easily drowned it out. I would stay in one of these hotels again."
