I had a comfortable stay in the cozy Deluxe King Room! The location was top-notch, just a short stroll to Gaslamp. However, the ventilation was super loud, which made it hard to relax. 😅

Sofia's nearby eats are a delight! Specialty's Cafe and Bakery is a must-try for a quick bite, and Lucy's Taco Shop rocks for tasty tacos. Plus, the hotel ambiance really gave off those charming historic vibes that's just perfect for a foodie escape.
I found the room a bit cramped—definitely not as spacious as the pics promised. Plus, the washbasin situation was less than ideal, and I had to MacGyver some security with a chair at night. Still, the charm of San Diego kept my spirits high!

The stay was delightful, especially with the cozy room that came with a stunning city view and the quick access to the nearby spa treatments that really helped us unwind. The ambiance was nice. even though the elevators shook a bit, it didn’t overshadow the lovely overall experience. If you’re parking, just know it’s not included, so plan for that! 🌟
