Great choice for quick acces to Gaslamp where there is a great choice of restaurants and bars. The hotel itself is a bit dated but yet comfortable and location is unbeatable.

The hotel was very nice and given it's age, kept up very well. Staff at check-in was excellent and smooth as well. Only minor downsides would be some of the maintenance staff with their exceptionally noisy carts through-out the hallways and the back of service alley which echoed up into our room with the windows closed (woke us a couple of times), and the parking is a little pricey and limited to Valet only.

I didn’t realize the Gaslamp district was so run down. The homeless population was disturbing. Hotel was clean and historic but would not stay in that area again.

Don’t Stay Here.
I am never staying here again. The front desk had an attitude and was not helpful. Valet was not available so we had to park our car outside until the morning. The security guard was getting beat up by a homeless man and ran inside the main entrance where the homeless man proceeded to throw the bell cart inside. Also the fire place did not work but the room smelled like gas. When we checked out the front desk lady looked sick and unhappy she didn’t even ask how our stay way or say good morning. This property was supposed to be a VIP property but there was no special accommodations or upgrades.
