Location convenient in Gaslamp area and convention center. Friendly staff. I didn’t use the free drink coupons so they let me get some snacks instead. Cute historic rooms

The location was excellent, very close to the Gaslamp quarter, and a short walk to the San Diego Bay, and attractions. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby, with a good onsite bar and restaurant. It's an older and historic hotel and has a nice feel to it, with a relaxed vibe. Also worth noting it's an easy walk to the convention center, and tram...

The location was excellent, very close to the Gaslamp quarter, and a short walk to the San Diego Bay, and attractions. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby, with a good onsite bar and restaurant. It's an older and historic hotel and has a nice feel to it, with a relaxed vibe. Also worth noting it's an easy walk to the convention center, and tram system at the bottom of 5th avenue.

Very nice location to get to the harbor or little Italy. Loved sitting in the atrium for morning coffee and a glass of wine at night. Very interesting place with lots of character.
