No breakfast and the elevators are a little annoying when you have a lot of luggage. The rooms are small and showers too but it’s a cute hotel I would still stay again!

Free drink on the hotel. Clean and nice!

Noise from the street, no view from the room and destination fee of 25 USD per night when booking was showing final price

For the price of the stay, I would expect daily water, wifi and tea/coffee/milk to be included, as is offered for most hotels. Some transparency in disclosing the $25 daily fee for the above-mentioned amenities at the time of booking would be nice, not after booking.

The hotel is very well refurbished, maintaining the vintage charm and homely feel. It is also exceptionally clean.

Please keep in mind that the elevator is original to the hotel, so it is very old school and can be slow. The air conditioning is minimal but bearable. So if you’re like me, and like the cold at night. It could an adjustment.

The decoration, the ambience, the staff was amazing. The room was exceptional as well.

Room very small with no closet space. The service at the restaurant was super slow. The valet parking service was slow as well but the manager on the day of checking out made the guesture of not charging the last day of parking to compensate for the ling wait. The mattress was soft and worn. An uncomfortable sleep.

Location

Stayed in May 2024

Speaking of it being a historic property... I wouldn't recommend it for families. We traveled with my four and seven year old and it just isn't made to accomade them well. The A/C never seemed to work correctly in our room, which I think because of the hotel's age, the room ran pretty hot. It's also not a kid-friendly neighborhood, which I should have known before booking, but I didn't realize until we got there. Lastly, the $60 or so for valet was frustratingly high. I ended up at a garage down the street for $14 a night, but the inconvenience of it all was annoying.

Firstly, this is a gorgeous hotel. I didn't realize this was on the more historical side of things (more on that later), so to stay in a historic stop, in a popular neighborhood was amazing. The staff was very helpful and kind and the room was clean and the perfect size for our family of four.

It was living amongst nightclubs with no sound proofing. 10pm-3am clubbing every night. Closed windows despite lovely shades were as if they were not there. No sleep until 3am each day. Hard if you were not clubbing yourself.

The retro decor was special, staff was nice. Toiletries excellent. Very close to excellent popular Tacos shop!

The old fashion elevator took some dexterity to manage. Would be hard for a handicapped person.

The hotel says "pet friendly" and it was. Squeaky toy and organic treats for my dog really showed a thoughtful touch. Liked the retro style and the bistro. Very pleasant staff.

The room was excessively noisy at night, and although earbuds were provided, they were not conducive to a comfortable sleep; additionally, the old elevator resulted in extended wait times for accessing the room.

The style of the hotel and room was really nice, featuring an espresso machine in the room, and the staff were friendly.

THE MATRESSES ARE TOO SOFT, THE SHOWER SPACE IS TOO SMALL

LOCATION WAS VERY GOOD, THE STAFF IS AMAZING, THE FREE WELCOME DRINK IS A GOOD TREAT, THE TERRACE IS ALSO A VERY GOOD FEATURE OF THE HOTEL

Awesome hotel, great diner and a wonderful room. Easily one of the best hotels in downtown San Diego. I would certainly come back to stay next time I am in town.

Parking costs

A lot of charme

Elevator was dangerous and hard to operate, an unexplained destination fee added ($25/day plux tax) that gave us NOTHING extra (no breakfast, or even water in the room which btw costs $13!).

Room, restaurant on site, staff was nice

The nightclub noise. It is loud. Like really loud base till the wee hours of the morning 1-2 AM! (But I DID stay in the area of nightclubs, so I suppose that is to be expected. But I didn't process that till I got there. Bring your own earplugs if you are concerned...

clean, comfortable, location, bed was made daily in the evening!! Staff was amazing. Decor is great. Looks like you have stepped into a different era

Air conditioner is little tricky

Nice property with some awesome features

Unexpected "destination fee" of $25 per day. No outside view from the room. It felt almost like being in a nice closet. The sofa-bed was awful. No help to set it up. The staff wouldn't even help to put the duvet cover. They just gave a set of linens in a plastic bag and pretty much said good luck. The elevator is horrendous. No phone charging near bed. Even with extension chord it wasn't possible.

Clean rooms. Excellent quality of linens, toiletries. Great shower.

Everything. Location, facilities, staff. Decoration is outstanding. With everything you wish for and more. Nice French inspired bistro next door- convenient and fun, with good cocktails too!

The lifts are slow, but given they date back to 1913, that is understandable. Plus there are always the stairs as an alternative.

The hotel has a great location, the staff are friendly and helpful. I loved the design and decor. The cafe is excellent, great food and staff. The room was fabulous with comfortable furnishings and amazing linen.

Valet parking is very expensive. If you don't want to use it you need to use one of the public parking lots which are a bit remote from the hotel. Room was very small although I was traveling alone and it was not bothering me at all.

The interiors are were very well designed. The staff was very friendly and helpfull 24 hrs. Food in the restaurant was quite nice. Rooms are clean and well equipped.

Although the room was lovely it was lacking any drawer or counter space. There was room in the bedroom for a “comfy” chair and a dresser. The bathroom was huge, but again no space for any toiletries. There was not even a toilet lid.

The hotel and ambiance were lovely.

"The price is the only concern, but it is still worth it!"

The location is great, and the nearby TOCA shop is affordable. The cleaning service is also exceptional.
