Staff was exceptionally friendly. Hotel was a boutique hotel but missed the mark in many ways and, unfortunately to no fault of their own, the edge of the Gaslamp District is quite run down and not enjoyable.

The hotel was impeccably clean, as was our room. It has a very chill vibe, which was perfect for our trip to the San Diego Zoo...however I would DEFINITELY stay as a business traveler as well. Check in was easy and the VIP perks were really a wonderful addition! We weren't impressed with The Cafe's food. It was mediocre at best and was incredibly expensive. There were amazing restaurants nearby and walkable. I will ABSOLUTELY return to this hotel again! The staff are just fantastic!
