As I understand it, this apartment property decided to turn the first floor into hotel rooms a few months ago so they are still working things out. It's in a great location and the front desk staff are helpful, but: 1. There's no property signage at all so you're not sure you're at the right place. 2. Same with the paid parking: signage please! 3. The rooms are super tiny with no place to unpack. 4. Needs more towels. 5. They need to clean the room or at least offer to.

The hotel was perfect for us. Easy walk to Seaport Village and to Gaslamp. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We did not pay to park on the property but we were traveling around a lot so parking on the street was easy and free after 6pm.

Just back from a wonderful 6 night stay . Room was large, bed comfortable , bathroom perfect (great shower and spa tub was so nice ) pool although not huge was so nice and we never had trouble getting a lounge chair by the pool . Walking distance to so many delicious restaurants and easy walk to see a baseball game. and shopping. Only complaint was the TV as it wasn’t working to get regular channels so we had to steam any TV, if we wanted to watch. Overall such a. Chill and relaxing vibe .. which made for a great vacation
