We stayed here for two nights when we came into town for a concert.
The good:
- super convenient location, walking distance to so much!
- Lots of restaurants nearby
- SUPER friendly & attentive staff, very accommodating & helpful
- felt super safe & secure
- the hotel common areas and rooms all seemed very clean
- the aesthetic is not boring, kind of a cool old skool vibe with an industrial feel. Lots of big windows.
- huge shower
What I would change -
- I wish that the bedding was nicer. They don't use fitted sheets, so the bed doesn't stay made very well. Hotel beds & bedding really give me the ick. The ONLY thing that I want to touch me while I'm sleeping are the sheets, which I assume get laundered regularly. I don't want to touch the duvet, the mattress pad, the actual mattress or the actual pillows. Because of the flat sheet situation here, the mattress just wouldn't stay covered and I slept like crap. Also, the sheets are pretty itchy, I'm pretty sure they're not great cotton sheets. The bedding is literally the only reason I didn't give five stars. The hotel is not luxurious and it's right in Gaslamp, so it's also not quiet. The building is old, but the wide staircase with the plush burgundy carpet is a cool retro vibe. I'd stay here again... and likely bring my own set of king size sheets.
