After reading reviews I was unsure about booking this hotel, my stay was amazing! The staff was very welcoming and provided everything I needed. The hotel is in the heart of gaslamp and every walking accessible to anything in mind. The pool and rooftop bar are both very nice add to relax. Overall a great stay recommended staying here.

Rooms were small but very clean! Host/Hostess were so hospitable and polite. Customer service was amazing! They decorated the room for us for my anniversary! We did have a balcony room and city view. So just a tip, if your’re looking to get some rest, don’t book it. It’s pretty loud on the weekends through the entire night because the room is directly above all the action. But overall, very nice experience! I’m prime location. I will definitely stay there again!

Good location in the center of the Gaslamp District. Couple of notes: 1) we specifically booked this hotel because of the rooftop pool and poolside bar but when we got there: a. The pool is only 3 ft deep so other than a dip pool you aren’t going to get laps in and b) th poolside bar is only open on the weekends currently. Additionally 2) the hotel is charging quite a markup of $60 a night parking fee. If you stay here and driving-in and are comfortable walking about 2 blocks Southeast from the hotel there is an Ace parking deck Park It At the Market that charges $21-26 a night. Much more affordable! Staff is very nice and room is clean sleek and modern but note number 3) they have a white noise machine and earplugs in the room for your convenience. Very nice and appreciated but that also tells me it must get loud on the weekends so if you are sensitive to that then may not be the best location (it is next door to a night club).

The hotel was nice. The rooms were clean. The gym was very nice. The only problem is if you get the city view room, then don't expect to get any sleep until after the night club across the street closes around 2:00am! Super loud. We actually had to switch rooms our last night there so we could get some sleep.
