    cozy room
    great location
    loud ventilation
    uncomfortable noise

    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. 😅

    Recommend for a weekend stopover

    Comfortable bed, spacious towels, and the water filling stations throughout the hotel were a great touch. The helpful staff made my stay enjoyable. the convenient location just 500 meters from Santa Fe Depot made it easy to explore the area.

    No complaints.

    delicious tacos
    charming ambiance
    great bakery
    cramped room
    washbasin hassle

    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!

    cozy room
    spa treatments
    elevator shakes

    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! 🌟

    great staff
    good gym

    It was just a perfect match for a short visit in San Diego with great value for money. I loved having the option to enjoy lunch in my room between court sessions. If you need a convenient spot close to downtown, this is a solid choice.
