We were greeted by the younger Scott working the front desk and he was very friendly. He helped us get our parking and room set up. We liked the room and loved the walk in shower. The hotel was convenient and within walking distance to may attractions in the Gaslamp district. Only negative is the parking lot was very small, difficult to get in and out of, and expensive. $40 per night self parking or $50 for Valet.

Room was old; old carpet, doors, the staff was good, the amenities are normal, and no complains only the hotel looks old in the pictures looks different that's why I pick up this hotel on last moment. But you don't expect extra charge on parking and amenities and for this.

I only have 3 downsides to this hotel. 1. My room did not look like the pictures at all. It was a mix of “modern” and old. I was just happy there was no bugs. 2. The hallways are really creepy and dim. It’s like walking through a hunted Mansion, I thought a ghost was going to pop out any minute. 3. The parking here sucks. There are only about 20 spots that those who choose self parking and you have to sit and wait until someone leaves. The rest of the parking lot is for valet but when those spots are filled they use the 20. The parking lot is also public parking so many others come and park there as well. One night it was so bad that lines of cars were waiting. Only one valet guy came and took all our cars and packed them tightly into the lot. I had to pick up my keys the next morning. I couldn’t really hear anyone around me except for when the housekeeper was cleaning. Everyone was nice. I don’t recommend going with valet because there was always a long line wrapped around and it seemed like only one guy wanted to work while the rest just stood and talked. Over all just walk quickly to your room, don’t do valet, and don’t expect it to look like the pictures. I was told it was renovated in 2005 so they might have posted the pictures from 2005.

Weird noises with the air conditioning and walls not soundproof AT ALL. We were able to hear the people next to us speaking and it was very hard to sleep. The bed itself was not very comfortable and the pillows were not supportive. It is an OK place to spend the night, but is definitely not luxurious or how we anticipated it would be.
