Disliked: Cleanliness
The property appears to be remodeled and is very nice. The rooms are small especially for more than 3 people. The front staff was very nice with the exception of one young lady, that when asked why our room was not cleaned and towels refreshed responsed by saying, “maybe you should stay at another hotel.” The only critique I have is cleanliness, and obviously the rude girl. The bathroom had black mold. The rest of the employees were courteous and very respectful; especially Erick, the gentleman working valet. The hotel sits very close to the light rail which was a plus and about a 15 minute walk to the Gaslamp District. I probably would never stay there again.
