Great location only a few blocks from gaslamp and Petco. Great service and fast. I didn’t even have to asked for my Gold Member VIP perk, the free room upgrade was ready upon arrival, quick check in and the room was a large suite that was upgraded yet they kept the charm of the boutique style hotel. The inner garden quad is quaint and the attached bar/restaurant, “Salt and Whiskey,” was excellent. Great service, good food, and good ambience. Came here with my wife of 27 years to see a concert at PETCO. Only critique, lower the cost of valet.

This is a fine hotel and kind of quirky but with super basic amenities equivalent to a best western or holiday inn express. The lighting in the rooms was awful and the interior quartyard is the balcony not really outside. It was fine as a place to crash, but not as a fun hotel stay.
