It was located close to everything. Yeah the rooms were small but they were clean. If it’s just one or two people and you plan on exploring the city then it’s perfect. If you have kids and plan to stay in a lot then prob not. There is a club next door but it wasn’t bad at all. After a day of the beach and zoo and everything I barely even noticed AND I stepped out to buy one of their hotdogs on the corner at 2am. Not to mention the restaurant right next door…great breakfast.
Lovely hotel. The decorations were beautiful and the staff was very friendly. However be prepared to hear noise till about two in the morning coming from surrounding nightclubs. It sounds like the windows are open, even though they are closed. This did not bother me, but I know some people will be very irritated by it. I would definitely stay here again.

Overall the vibes are great, staff were friendly. However the windows in the room were not sound proof, and trying to sleep while night life was happening was not the greatest.
Beautiful hotel in the heart of the nightlife! This was the perfect choice for quaint. I was looking for something specific to San Diego. We loved our stay! Will definitely recommend 10/10!!!!
Very historic. Rooms were small and hurt myself opening drawers a few times due to the proximity of the drawers and the ac unit. Hand was caught in between it a few times
This hotel was amazing! There was an antique charm with all the modern amenities I could ask for. I had a great time in a beautiful room and would def be back for my next San Diego trip
