Nice clean, old-fashioned (in a good sense) hotel.

“Business base in SD”
October 28, 2024
Location, a quiet boutique and historic hotel. Comfortable room, well-appointed and snug (preferably for a single guest, tight for two). Everything in SD a walk, short bus or trolley ride away. Airport bus passes the front door. Nice staff, dated lobby but pleasant to sit. Morning coffee stand welcome. There is a small gym which has limited equipment needing service/upgrade.

“A pleasant stay”
September 30, 2024
The staff were all friendly and accommodating. I lost an item one night and they were very helpful in finding it. The location is right within downtown and a short walk from Gaslamp. There are free candies at reception which was a nice touch.
