The hotel is beautiful but the location is not ideal. You’re better off getting a hotel closer to little Italy if you still want a downtown vibe.

Our new favorite hotel in SD. Easy check in and check out. Rooms were spacious, clean and with a great view. Staff members were extremely friendly, starting with the valet employees when we first arrived at the hotel. We would definitely return. Also, loved the artwork and decor of the room.

Stay here!
Location was perfect. Close enough to all the action of Gaslamp that you can walk there. Room was clean and comfortable. Only small issue I had was the shower drained really slow and we had to hurry to shower so it didn’t overflow. Also the food at the cafe/restaurant was delicious!
