The location was perfect in Downtown San Diego, and when we arrived they offered to upgrade our room. The room was beautiful, clean, and exceeded our expectations. The staff were all very kind and welcoming. It was a bit noisy, but that’s just part of being in the Gaslamp District, and we didn’t notice it at all the second night. We will absolutely be booking here when we visit San Diego again!
