"The property is conveniently located so it made it easy to walk to the area’s attractions. Lots of restaurant options, and the staff was very helpful. The downside was that there is no microwave in the room, parking cost $42 a night and the refrigerator in the room that we stayed in froze everything, on the lowest temperature. Overall, I would stay again due to the location and staff. "

"There were 2 issues: 1) the restaurant has no table service. You wait on yourself, the coffee is in paper cups unless you ask for a mug, little flexibility (you can’t have 1 egg), etc. The order is brought to you & the food is good, but for the price you pay to stay there, a customer friendly service is expected. 2) at checkout the computer system was down.

"The hotel is in the center of Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego. There are numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance of the hotel. Petco Park is also within walking distance. Drive time to the San Diego Zoo and the museums in Balboa Park is about ten minutes from the hotel. The staff is very friendly. On the negative side, valet parking is $65.00 per night and the rooms are very small, but cozy. I enjoyed my stay very much."
