(1,622 reviews) Staff seemed very nice. The room could’ve used a good sweep. It was a lot of loose hair everywhere. I also seen a bug but didn’t have enough time to take a picture to prove it because it ran off, but other than that, the room was very beautiful. I’m a luxury event decorator a.k.a. I decorate hotel rooms for birthdays, anniversaries,date nights and etc so it was a very beautiful room for pictures.

(1,627 reviews) The hotel is central to everything. We were in walking distance to the gaslamp, seaport, restaurants, etc.. They had a water fill-up station which saved us money from purchasing water bottles. The room needed a deep cleaning. The furniture was dusty and the phone was dirty. The TV would often need to be reset. It's an older hotel and they plan to renovate to bring some of the amenities up to date. Our stay was quiet and peaceful. Please do not knock on the door early in the morning multiple times to refresh the room if no one answers. We need rest. The staff were available to ask questions but didn't ask about our stay. Overall, my stay was average.
