Our initial room had a terrible odor. Called for housekeeping, no one came. Went to front desk and was then told no housekeeping available that night (Saturday). All rooms were booked and could not change room. I asked for some type of air freshener and it took time to find. Freshener worked for a hour or so, but odor returned and was difficult to sleep through the night. Hotel manager upgraded us to a suite the next morning when it became available. We greatly appreciate the attention it was given and the manager should be commended.

The hotel was charmingly old-fashioned without being dated, my room was enormous, staff were very helpful. Niggles, the bar closes at 10pm and the food offering is basically non-existent, but there are plenty of other options nearby.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable. Had patio but only big enough to stand on, too small for a chair. Valet parking was very convenient but also a very pricey extra charge ($59 tax tips per night). Walking distance to gaslamp, seaport village and Petco Park.

Thank you Steven It sounds like you had a mixed experience at your accommodation. It's great to hear that the staff was friendly and helpful, and that your room was comfortable. Having a patio, even if it's small, can still be a nice touch for some fresh air. But I understand how it might have been disappointing if it wasn't quite big enough to fully enjoy.Valet parking can indeed be convenient, especially in busy areas like Gaslamp, Seaport Village, and near Petco Park.

Thanks for your review Rakia, It sounds like you appreciated the charm of the older building and found the room to be both cute and clean. Sometimes, the character of an older building can add to the overall experience, especially if it's well-maintained and has its own unique style. Cleanliness is definitely essential for a comfortable stay, so it's great to hear that was a positive aspect of your experience.

This was my first time staying here. It is such a pretty hotel. The rooms have fireplaces, beautiful courtyard and a great bar. Walking distance to all the shops, Petco park, restaurants and gas lamp. The only thing that Expedia doesn’t share are the extra fees you have to pay when you get there. Tourist fee, amenities fee and totaled to an extra $65 after the regular tax and room fees.

Thank you Caroline for taking the time to give us feedback about your recent stay with us . It sounds like the hotel had a lot of positive aspects, such as its beautiful ambiance, cleanliness, and convenient location near Gaslamp restaurants and Petco Park for the Padres game. However, it's unfortunate that there were some drawbacks like the lack of shampoo in the dispenser and uncomfortable pillows. And for the inconvenience, we waived the destination fee with you at checkout. Have an awesome day. See you next time.

Unfortunately, we had a room that overlooked 4th Ave. It was loud all night

Thank you Amy for taking the time to make a review on your recent stay with us. I'm sorry to hear that your room overlooked a noisy street, affecting your ability to rest well. It can be really frustrating when external noise disrupts your sleep and overall enjoyment of the stay. When booking your next visit, you might want to request a room away from busy streets to ensure a quieter environment. Many hotels are willing to accommodate such requests when possible. If you need any assistance or advice for your future stay, just let me know!

BL/UF: Great for the price and location, but don’t expect resort amenities. The building is a gorgeous classic hotel with a beautiful interior courtyard. The rooms are tastefully updated and decently spacious. Just don’t expect miracles from the shower. The “Salt and Whiskey” restaurant had good food, but the highlight was the beverages. For breakfast, though, I’d recommend a walk to 4th and J Street for Achilles. The neighborhood is a good distance away from the highways and walkable to East Village, Petco Park, and the convention center.

Thank you Michael,It sounds like you had a generally positive experience with the hotel, especially considering its price and location. The classic building and interior courtyard add to its charm, and the tastefully updated rooms provided decent space for your stay. While the shower may not have been exceptional, it's good to hear that the overall experience met your expectations.It's great that you enjoyed the food and beverages at the "Salt and Whiskey" restaurant, but thanks for the tip about Achilles for breakfast. Exploring the neighborhood and finding local gems like this can really enhance the overall experience of your stay.The fact that the hotel is within walking distance to East Village, Petco Park, and the convention center adds even more value to its location. Being away from the highways also likely contributed to a quieter atmosphere, which can be a plus for many travelers.Overall, it sounds like you found a good balance of value, convenience, and comfort during your stay.
