8.2/10 Very good! (826 reviews)

The front desk staff were very freindly and very helpful. The location of the hotel is excellent. You can walk to the Gaslamp District and the Convention Center. Lots of places close by to grab food or a snack. The AC in the room was banging. We were freezing in a good way. There is nothing fancy about this hotel. It's great if you want a clean room, with great AC and comfortable beds. Nothing fancy but serves it purpose. Also ample free parking. Shower was also GREAT!

The only drawback was there is only one operating elevator so if you have luggage or carry stuff it is a little longer wait than usual, especially in the morning. Otherwise, the staff, the rooms, the bar & restaurant and location is great! Nice price too! Don’t mess the pricing up and turn people away!
