I love this place so much. The drinks and food at the Saint James Diner, plus the view from the rooftop, are the cherries on top.

This hotel was super cute and a really neat location walkable to the bay. Staff was really helpful. The rooms were decorated so nice and the bed was really comfortable. There’s air-conditioning. The café was delicious and perfect for breakfast and the upstairs rooftop bar was fun. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and full of charm! I would’ve loved to know this location has a great night life that you can in fact hear from the 7th floor but once we fell asleep, I had the most restful night ever. So all is good!

6/10 Good

Elevator sucked, The world’s slowest and hot too. The room was small as heck. It is in the middle of downtown and more down the street, talk about ghetto. Valet was 24/7 and convenient. Staff were awesome. But I probably won’t be coming back to this hotel.

upstairs bar and patio was a nice touch and welcome respite from the day. The fellow running it was super nice and helpful. One elevator was been out of order for at least a month leading to LONG waits. Breakfast was good. Fair price. Good location. Wished the valet was more affordable. Oh, and we got the noise from Gaslamp well until 3AM. Now I know why ear plugs were included. That was the 2nd floor. Higher floors may not be so prone.

10/10 Exceptional

Let me first warn you that the Gaslamp District is Loud on the weekends. This is a problem at ALL the hotels in the area. That being said, the staff at this hotel were very helpful in finding solutions. They provide noise machines and soft ear plugs for those of us that are light sleepers. Special shout out to Erica! She was the kindest and most helpful front desk receptionist I have ever met. The bar and restaurant on location were excellent as well. The rooms are on the small side, but were very nice. I love the old school charm this place has. Very Classy. The only real draw back is only one of two elevators is working. This can be a real inconvenience if you're in a hurry.
