    The Hotel itself wasn't too bad. The valet was very slow 45 minute wait for our vehicle to arrive even though they said 15 minutes. The homeless and drug activity next to the hotel was awful. We Didn't feel safe in the area. The closest grocery store had many armed guards for an obvious reasons. The hotel isn't responsible but has a big problem to deal with. The hotel plumbing wasn't strong although it worked. Needless to say we won't be back.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The place was great. We were upgraded by the hotel. The suite was very roomy and clean. I would definitely stay at this place again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    However, I will not stay again. Upon arrival, I discovered my room did not have any view to the outside world. The window glass was fogged and faced an internal courtyard area not meant to be viewed, apparently. The room was therefore a very depressing interior closet like vibe. Asked if I could pay for an upgrade to an outside view of the beautiful California sunlight, but was told no available rooms. Will not stay again and will stick to the big brand hotels. Hilton/Hyatt/Marriott.

    The rooftop deck offers extra extraordinary view of the harbor and town. My only complaint is the LOUD noise on Fridays and Saturdays bights to 3AM due to nearby rooftop Bars, music, and extremely loud motorcycles and cars. The old windows in the hotel rooms facing E street dont stop the noise.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was on the second floor, and could not sleep due to noise. The beds are very uncomfortable, a slight step up from a boxspring. Overall the hotel was very aesthetically pleasing, but that was as far as the satisfaction went

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Staff was great and room service was good too.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Prime location

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Nice stay, the room was nice and the staff was accommodating. Will definitely plan another stay.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Convenient right in the middle of downtown. Small rooms but it had all we needed.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We booked with the explicit intention of staying for walkable access to the gaslamp district. Did not disappoint. Very clean and nice room! Only thing kind of a drag was parking (valet only), but thats anywhere in this area. I would definitely stay again!!!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Top service and definitely booking another stay soon.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The overnight car valet service of $53/night was a killer.
