The hotel was great. Wish they offered breakfast, but they do have a nice “make your own” specialty coffee machine in the lobby. The room was very clean and spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect too, near enough to the Gaslamp quarter without the noise :)

The best hotel I've ever stayed! I got a good deal for this hotel and I was a bit suspicious in the beginning but it turned out to be the best staying in San Diego! Great location just a short walk to the train station (10min) and water front park, short walk to Little Italy (16min) and all bares, clubs and restaurants in Gaslamp Quarter (12min)! The most friendly staff! Super clean, cute and comfortable room, great Bathroom. The cutest decor in the room and bathroom!
