Comfy beds, in the center of everything, friendly staff, gorgeous rooftop. Checked in a bit late (tip??) and got an upgrade to a suite. So my room was big and on the second floor, I did not have to use the antique elevator which everybody complains about for no reason other than for pleasure, very fun ride. The building is historic and I liked learning about its history. The attached restaurant is cozy and have good food. Wiuld recommend and stay here again!

I asked for no room service - they still came and lost an item of my clothing (with no apology or compensation). Also quite noisy - they seem to realise this with supplying earplugs but it isn’t ideal. My room had no window (air conditioning unit was placed in front of it) yet there was still lots of light from the street coming in my room due to the shutters surrounding the unit - bring an eye mask. Overall would have been okay if I didn’t lose an item of clothing but all these factors combined have contributed to my rating.

Super cute boutique hotel! This place is full of history & it's right in the heart of Gaslamp. Parking is pricey, but honestly you don't even need a car because you can walk anywhere & everywhere you want. Loved the unlimited swedish fish - nice touch!

Staff was kind but the rooms were so small and cramped. Elevators took a long time and difficult to navigate with large luggage. It was LOUD all through the night. I also do not recommend the French Diner downstairs.
