It is fine, if a bit old and rundown. No breakfast option, but plenty of restaurants in the area. I have no idea why there is a resort fee, it definitely isn't a resort and has no resort amenities at all.

The property was well maintained. Our room was clean, and the staff came every day to fix the room and remove trash. The one thing I disliked about the hotel was that we had an issue with the light at the room's entryway. The maintenance guy just knocked and immediately opened the door without waiting to be let in, which I found to be very unprofessional.

Good place to stay for conventions
We enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is close to the convention center and all of the activities in the Gas Lamp quarter. The hotel is an older facility but it is well maintained. The lobby and courtyard are fantastic. There was a gas fireplace in the room and a small balcony also. The price was reasonable. I’d stay again.

Great experience
The hotel is rich in history and so beautiful the rooms have original bay windows and fireplaces. The staff was nice and helpful the gym is cute and has everything you might need. Close to food drinks and leisure. I would love to come back! We were there for a conference at the convention center and it was only about 5 minutes walking distance. only about a 15 minute drive to coronado beach. The bar is very nice with a rustic vibe and the bartenders were pleasant and knowledgeable.

The staff were welcoming, it was easy to park, check in, and bring our items to our designated room. The lobby and atrium are so cute!! The room was cozy and perfect! Downstairs dining was perfection (super tasty food and cocktails). Nightlife was just a short walk away.
