Good- Housekeeping was very nice. It was easy to walk everywhere. The bathroom was very well thought-out. Fogfree mirror, magnifying make-up mirror, extra towel/clothes hooks. Nice size room. Bad-If you went in 2 directions after dark, the neighborhood looked iffy. Might not have been, but it looked it. The other directions seemed ok. Also, a bit of a way to a trolley stop.

The staff here was the best I have ever come across in any hotel anywhere. Parking, especially the valet, was expensive, but efficient and convenient. The Gaslamp District isn't what it once was, but I really liked the hotel, the room, and the people who work here!

Spacious & modern rooms ... but avoid hotel pkg

Staff was courteous and helpful, room was modern & spacious, bedding luxurious and kitchenette appreciated. My boys enjoyed the pool & hot tub and I the huge Christmas tree and other holiday decor. Only negative feedback: the $42 per night for parking garage seemed high ... wish I had done street parking esp after the harrowing drive up a narrow spiral ramp up 7 floors! (Parking garage is on the 11th floor.) I had such PTSD, I had to ask the hotel about getting a valet to drive my car back down. They had a process and liability form for doing so ... apparently, I wasn't the first person who had been freaked out. Wish the valet had told me about the nightmarish 7 floor entry spiral ... I asked him about parking options upon arrival -- which he accurately & patiently explained -- but never mentioned the nightmarish spiral ramp.

Great but location not ideal for 1st time visitors

Good hotel with nice service. A bit out of main tourist attractions. The room had some wired noise at night probably coming from the ventilation/heat system, making it a bit annoying when sleeping, as it sound as persisten rain drops hitting the sealing of the room.
