What guests loved the most

“Location was excellent, 2 blocks from Gaslamp quarter.”

, United Kingdom

“Great location, great and comfy room and nice exterior, interior and staff! Price is very affordable and free yoga class in the morning was a great surprise! Oh, also the cafe on the 1st floor served very nice coconut milk/almond latte/hot cocoa. I was so happy and proud I chose this hotel, because my bosses were happy too. Thank you so much for a great stay, definitely wanna come back!”

, USA

“Excellent hotel. Bed comfortable, great view of downtown from the windows, excellent wi-fi, great amenities in the room (plus the room is fashionably furnished in an aesthetically pleasing way...you feel like you're in a fancy home rather than a hotel almost). Staff friendly and helpful; able to use the computers and printer in the business center. Great location: 15-20 minute drive to the airport, and also centrally located / closely located in the city. Was easy to walk to popular tourist attractions as well as the hotel my conference was at.”

“Location close to trolley station and to a walking distance to the convention center and to gas lamp and Little Italy restaurants. Front desk staff very courteous and attentive Quick registration and sign off Quiet rooms”

“We liked the location The room is nice The staff is polite”

“We only had one night at this Hotel and this was unfortunate because on our trip exploring the west coast i would probably say it was one of the best and wanted to stay a few more nights. We got an amazing deal for the night and the room (although small) was lovely, facilities more than adequate. Bed comfy. Hotel overall very nicely decorated and well looked after. Staff friendly and professional. Outside the hotel is a 5/10mins walk to 5th avenue and this was full of restaurants to suit all, atmosphere was electric, had a really good meal and night. On our early rise to get back on the road the valet parking was ideal, although possibly the dearest we paid on our trip it was standard for the area ( i checked other carparks).”

, United Kingdom

“Location was pretty good and near several places such as the marina walk. We loved the restaurant across the street from it ("Breakfast Corner"). Staff were good but I would not say super duper good (maybe it's just our timing).”

, USA

“The staff was very friendly and the property was clean.”

, USA

“The location is absolutely perfect for food, nightlife and is very close to the marina.”

, Ireland

“Perfect location. Close to the train station, little Italy, sea side and downtown of the city. Room is clean and stylish. Free coffee and 2 bottles of water. Equipped a refrigerator in the room, but no mini bar, 2 bottles of wine are optional to pay.”
