fave hotel in san diego

The most gorgeous hotel! The staff was so kind, gave us the latest hotel checkout I’ve ever had and gave me a few treats to ring in my birthday weekend. The rooms are so nice, the bathroom in the rooms have such great counter space and a HUGE mirror so it makes it easy to get ready with friends. The pool is heated during the winter so we were able to watch the sunset and hang out even though it’s winter. Parking was $60 but they valet it’s worth it because parking can be hard to find in gaslamp. I’ll definitely be back!

Not impressed- wouldn’t stay again

This hotel was a more reasonable price, but we had a room that overlooked the neighboring buildings roof and it was just kinda dismal. The rooms are dark with harsh overhead lighting and aliding bathroom doors (which are awful and provide zero privacy). The roof top bar was closed which wasn’t expressed upon check in. Parking was on the “cheaper” end at $58, but ouch!

While the hotel itself is clean and the staff is friendly, the walls are extremely thin and the surrounding area has a night club that is extremely loud until roughly 3am. Would not recommend if you’re looking for a quiet spot
