Beautiful historic hotel. Not the cookie cutter generic hotel. Clean. No smells. Comfortable bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location with huge number of restaurant options. Yes, if you stay in this active area, there will be noise outside. No fault of the hotel, and the hotel walls itself were very solid. I'm really glad I stayed here and if in downtown San Diego again, will stay here again.

Shops were nearby. However it’s downtown which is bad for a could reasons. Transients were everywhere, and downtown is filthy. We did walk to a few places nearby, but it was irritating to be hassled everywhere we went. It was a nice old hotel, I love the history. But old buildings were not build for noise reduction, and between the clubs, fights, police, sirens, it was LOUD all night.

Great location, will stay here again.

Close to plenty of bars, restaurants and walking distance to Petco Park, in the heart of the Gaslamp District. Front desk staff was kind and made check-in easy. The room was spacious and comfortable. The building itself is very unique with its own history, do yourself a favor and look it up. I will stay here again.

Where do I begin? Cons: It’s a hotel/apartment, and the parking is $50+. Once you enter, the place has a distinct smell of an old building (9 hours later, the smell is still stuck in my nostrils), with the scent of age baked in. The room was a hole in the wall and decent, yet creepy because the door was a glass door with gold curtains, reminiscent of those you’d see in a detective's office. Save the money and find another place.
