The hotel and room were wonderful. The location in Gaslamp quarter was very convenient to get to a ball game or the convention center. The only negative is there is no restaurant or breakfast facilities on the property. But they have a list of recommended breakfast locations nearby (lots).

8/10

The hotel was wonderful, in a perfect location. The courtyard was below the guest rooms and when people sat there it was very loud, we could hear their conversations crystal clear, kept us up at night and woke us up in the morning. The bar was very nice but the service was not that great.
