8/10 Very good

Very nice stay! Check in was smooth and I was given a room upgrade. It was very unexpected, but much appreciated. I didn't give five stars because the hotel is indeed haunted.
Nicole, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location, next to the gaslamp district and across the street from the conference center and the waterfront. The loft rooms are nicely decorated and spacious. Great breakfast at the restaurant.
Gerd D, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an amazing experience from the moment we got there! The front desk recepcionist, (maybe her name was Addy?) upgraded us to an AMAZING suite and we were so impressed. Mr. Ivy gave us several recommendations in the area, too. We will definitely stay here again when in San Diego!

10/10 Exceptional

So wonderful and even more so for the price!!!
Amanda, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was great and in a great location to walk to many restaurants and great neighborhood spots. The staff was excellent and the rooms were really nice. Note the one issue we had was, because we were facing a popular intersection it was very loud outside on weekend nights all through the night. The staff was very accommodating and relocated us without any trouble to a quieter room. Just keep in mind if you are staying over a weekend night you may want an interior room to keep the noise out at night.
Shaun, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and lovely staff.
Julia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was great!
A interesting view from the elevator.
Adam, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was fantastic and clean, the staff was friendly and helpful but the balcony overlooked an alley and a wall so that was a little disappointing.
Michael, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful hotel. The only part that was not excellent was that the bathroom did not have sufficient light. Hard to see to shave or do makeup.
