I stayed at this hotel with basic updated amenities and a shared bathroom. The room had a window to nowhere, which was a bit odd. Overall, it was a decent stay with some drawbacks.

The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the Gaslamp District, making it easy to walk to the convention center and enjoy nearby restaurants. The rooms are beautifully furnished, featuring a jacuzzi and interesting sink placement. The service, while attentive, faced challenges with my rewards booking at check-in. The dining experience offers delicious hand-cut steaks but comes with a price. Overall, a good stay marred slightly by service hiccups.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the Gaslamp District in Downtown San Diego, close to everything in the city center. The rooms are cozy and come with a shared bathroom, and the service was top-notch throughout my stay. The dining options were satisfactory, with a focus on fish dishes. However, the reservation process was a bit problematic and couldn't be combined, but the overall experience was pleasant and worth the value.
