Great location but some cons
We stayed for three nights, the first night there was a loud party in the courtyard till 10:30 PM which made it hard for us to sleep with the baby. The rooms were a little crampy, but the service was overall good. The best part of the day was the gaslamp district and close proximity to restaurant and shopping and the convention center.

I stayed here before and I'd stay here again. The hotel has character, with some of the trade offs that entails. The wifi is good and included (good), but the beds aren't as firm as those in a chain hotel (bad). They've stopped offering breakfast, but there are good coffee shops literally around the corner.

Good value for the location. It’s right next to the heart of gaslamp. Don’t expect a 5 star hotel and you’ll be fine.

This facility is old and therefore not in the best mechanical condition. The bathtub had no grab bars, il functioning drain (which means you had to stand in 2 - 3 inches of water to take a shower) very risky especially with a slippery bathtub floor. Sometimes the door to the room wouldn't open and sometimes the elevator wouldn't work. Coffee maker in the room was a single serve portable NOT suitable for making your own coffee. The price was outrageous for such a poor facility. No normal food service on premises.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Rather bland room was minimally decorated, but spacious enough. The balcony, for which I paid extra, overlooked an inner courtyard and offered no privacy. So was worthless.Small bathroom. Comfortable bed Cozy bar w. personable bartenders. Very limited, expensive food menu .Most positive: great location, near many restaurants. Most negative: no breakfast available. Might stay again, mainly for the location. 7/10.

The stay was nice, but we did notify the front desk that our bathroom did not seem like it was fully clean because we found a lot of what looked like little hair as though some one had shaved their beard or something all around the bathroom. Other than that the room was nice the valet was extremely nice and helpful!

It’s a historic building with 130 years of history based on the staff’s words. The hotel is well maintained, the room is spacious, very close to the convention center, lots of restaurants or pubs close by. Great hotel to stay.

Our first night we arrived late and went straight to bed but the street noise was pretty bad so we didn’t get much sleep. This was my fault as I insisted my wife book a street view room. I went to the front desk in the morning to see if they could help us out and they bent over backwards to get us moved to a different room that was courtyard view and also bigger. We had a Fantastic stay after that and would stay in this hotel again anytime.

Seems very hit-or-miss. My 1st room was street level and you could hear every person walking by on the sidewalk. Unacceptable and I quickly switched out. My 2nd room was drafty, had a broken heater fan that woke me up in the middle of the night, and terrible pillows. My 3rd room was fantastic.
