Nicely updated. Friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable. Great location. Tip: save money on valet parking and park on C street around the corner. Prepay was half the amount and it’s a 3 min walk.

Nice area. Walking distance to convenient places. Restaurant convenient stores.

The parking is very difficult. If you leave your tag in the car, you were told you. He actually needed to begin to get in. And then you are only able to park on the highest levels.

Lobby looks nice, and location is close to the Gaslamp district.

Front desk was rude when I requested items to room. Toilet was extremely dirty, and the shower and bathroom had not been properly cleaned. The pillowcases had noticeable yellow stains and appeared unwashed.
