Location is excellent, right at the edge of the Gaslamp district, ~3 blocks to the trolley, and a short walk to the waterfront. Staff is friendly and helpful: they changed my room reservation to a bigger one that would let my family join for a few days. Definitely clean in an historic hotel kind of way: they pick interesting furniture that’s not easy to clean but somehow keep it clean. One of the elevators has dioramas on the 3rd and 4th floors. Loved that! The inner courtyard was a good place to read.

Liked: Staff & service
The price was affordable but you get what you pay for! Staff were friendly and the property is like a museum which is neat. The room was clean but smelled very strong in an old way. The bed was super worn out. The listing said city view, but it was a brick wall/alleyway. There was no fridge which was hard for 6 days. Water bottles were $5 each which wasn’t made clear at first. The area is very central. Overall okay. Maybe not all the rooms are like this.

Historic and unique accommodation with balcony and a quiet internal courtyard with trees. Clean, comfy bedding. Friendly and helpful staff. There was a resort fee that I hadn’t anticipated but it came with a free drink at the bar at least.

The best staff in the business, hands down, pat yourselves on the back! Older hotel with a lot of history to be told, spotless lobby, was very well kept. We stayed in a balcony suite, bed was comfortable, room was cozy, air conditioning worked amazingly well. Only thing was the bathroom was a little outdated, no harm no foul though. It is in the heart of the Gas Lamp District, expect outside noise, sirens, garbage trucks, etc. We will be back! Thank you again for the hospitality!

The room was clean, the beds were so comfortable with great pillows. Really liked the little balconies. The staff was kind and friendly and let us check in a little early. The only thing that needs attention is just the common areas around check in, they seem a little rundown and could use a good clean, everything else was wonderful.
