We loved this place. It was right in the heart of Gaslamp so walkable to everything. The hotel room was cozy and clean and had a b&b feel to it. Loved the history of the hotel and the antiques scattered throughout. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms were quiet. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the drinks at Salt and Whiskey were delicious. We'll definitely stay here again.
