I came to the hotel over the weekend to run a eave. The hotel, the staff were excellent and centrally located to all the different spots (Gaslamp District, Embarcadero, other restaurants and a 10 minute drive to the airport). The Starbucks Pick Up location was a touch to grab coffee on the way out somewhere. Will stay here again.

The property is centrally located and the staff is friendly. It's a bit dated and there is no food on the premises but there are restaurants all around.

Clean boutique hotel. Polite staff. Noisy construction right outside my window, started at 6am daily. Didn't replace towels after room service, and my key was disabled twice during my stay. No onsite restaurant, so had to step outside, and the poor homeless population in SD is very bold. Beware the rate 'including taxes and fees' does NOT include a historic preservation fee.
