Good stay in downtown San Diego
Nice little boutique hotel. 10 minute walk to Gaslamp District. The room was very clean & the bed was comfortable. There is no one at the front desk, so all communication is via text but it was run very well; any questions or concerns were answered almost immediately.

Great Find
This was in an excellent location in San Diego! Right outside the Gas Lamp District and with walking distance of many others.
The building is an old refinished building with tons of charm and a great outdoor roof space.
We really enjoyed our stay!

Great location. Very clean and comfortable. Street noise was loud, but we were prepared for that thanks to other reviews. Would stay here again.

Room was great, enjoyed the contactless experience. The area around the hotel has all the advantages/disadvantages of a city - excellent food options, shopping, easy access to transportation - all great. Like any city, a little noisy, crowded, and dirty. Would recommend and would stay again.

Lobby and room were beautiful, very clean and well maintained. I liked the decor, location is excellent. My room was 104 and barely fit one person. Bed was very comfortable. Room needs a rod for clothes and shelves for toiletries and a drop down desk and stool or chair.

This hotel will be my go-to in San Diego—excellent value for the location. The staff was friendly, and it was convenient being near Orange Theory for a good workout. The room was small but comfortable, and perfect for our stay, especially after a night out in the Gaslamp Area.

No front desk staff until 1pm. It says there is a virtual front desk but that’s. It much use if you need help on the property. Stay elsewhere.
