This hotel is in a great location to walk to the waterfront, Little Italy, and the Gaslamp district. However, being a historic hotel, the room was too small for two queen-sized beds, desk, wardrobe, etc. There was barely any room for two people to move around. It would work for one bed in the room. I wouldn't necessarily seek this hotel out again, but if it had a good price I wouldn't avoid it either.

First I sent some questions days before the trip. The answer was so late we were already there. Also this was billed as a deluxe room. It was not. In fact it was the smallest room I have ever been in

The location of the hotel was really good. We fet like we were in the middle of everything. And besides an outing to the zoo, we could walk to every restaurant or site we wanted to see. There is a lot of construction going on around the hotel, but that is no fault of the hotel property. There was no noise disturbance which was a pleasant surprise once we saw the construction site. Only negativesI would give would be the strange shower layout & the price for parking. I did truly love the rate I got on the rooms & the beautiful building and it’s architecture. We will definitely be back!

Every second I was going out, the staff asked if i was checking out, mind you i was in and out of my room so many times, i kept saying im staying til this day. some of the staff was rude. when i checked in and i gave the name of the reservation the gentlemen with a accent i barely understood, said "it doesnt matter give me your id". was not welcoming at ALL, did not make us feel welcomed and excited. he was definitely miserable. the room was small. room was a little dusty, found someone's bloody Band-Aid on our floor next to our bed.
