Positive Reviews
positive:
Great location near attractions
Guests have rated the location of this hotel highly. You'll likely need to prepare yourself for a little street noise during your stay but there's lot to like about being in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter. Guests have found shopping, dining, and attractions are nearby.
positive:
Clean and modern accommodation
Having only opened in late 2015, this hotel is almost brand new. That shows in the decor and design, which guests have described as modern with a boutique feel. Upkeep seems good as guests have found the rooms and public areas clean and well maintained.
positive:
Great service from staff
The standard of service offered by the staff has proved impressive to guests. Reviews indicate that you can expect the staff to be friendly, attentive, and engaging. For many guests, the service has been one of the highlights of their stay.
Negative Reviews
negative:
May find rooms small
Although rooms here are found to be clean and modern, a fair number of guests have described the accommodation as small and likened the rooms to the size of European hotel rooms. If you prefer extra space, an executive room may be more suitable.
negative:
Rooftop bar attracts crowds
Guests have enjoyed the rooftop bar, finding it an elegant space to sit with a drink and watch the sunset. However, the bar is open to the public and by all accounts is popular. At the weekend, large numbers of people can be seen waiting for the elevator to go up to the bar.
negative:
Extra cost for valet parking
Rates here aren't especially low so it will probably come as little surprise that guests haven't been thrilled by the extra charge for parking. Free street parking is difficult to come by so you may find yourself with no alternative but to pay the valet fee.
