Really enjoyed everything about this hotel - staff all beat the same drum of welcome and knowledge, the room is spacious and sensible and the location is perfect for exploring this great town. And I loved having the bikes available which amplified the experience. Normally, house bike are not so great but these were.

This is a great hotel to stay in for exploring San Diego. Location is central to everything. However it is the manager and her staff that makes this place special. They are very attentive to all your needs. It is a small place that doesn’t have all the bells and whistles BUT it feels so welcoming all the time that it is almost like home.

Modern, clean hotel with nice staff and very central location in the Gaslamp. I could hear the music from local bars on the weekend but it didn’t interfere with my sleep. The bed and pillows were sooo comfortable! I would recommend it to others
