I wasn't expecting such a beautiful well kept place. This hotel is worth every minute of your stay. Use the valet service! It's great to utilize this service. Your car is safely stored in their garage nearby and easy to retrieve. It is a great service. Every employee is kind and helpful. The building is full of cool history and in "museum" condition. When I return I will be staying here for sure. Close to all aminities in the area and a walk to the bay is close by. The Gaslamp Quarter reminds me of New Orleans, lots of diversity. Thank you for making our stay here exceptional.

Great Location in Gas Lamp
This old hotel is awesome. Central to gas lamp and walking distance to rail, ferry service and the ballpark. The staff was awesome and the foood/drinks were great. My only petty complaint is the pillows and noise passed through the halls easily. Old hotels are that way, so it’s to be expected.

Great choice for quick acces to Gaslamp where there is a great choice of restaurants and bars. The hotel itself is a bit dated but yet comfortable and location is unbeatable.
