GF was turning 21 and this was the perfect hotel, both luxurious and close to our favorite Gaslamp bars. Great deal on the room, would definitely recommend to others.

Wonderfull Anniversary

Loved every thing about the hotel, location, room, staff, lounge areas restaurant. Would stay here again. It just does not get a perfect rating because I still can not understand why you would charge guests to park. It is just wrong. If I have two hotels, about the same in price and amenities, I will always choose the one that does not charge me to park.
