The charm of the space and the Gaslamp Quarter in general was a deviation from the norm.
If you’re looking for a typical hotel stay with a common area and some amenities, this ain’t it.
If you’re looking for a decent place to sleep that serves the purpose, is right smack in the middle of the restaurants, bars, etc…this is it.
Cons-
- a bit hard to find. Hint-it is directly above the Cuban food place, beside the El Chingon Mexican place (great fajitas btw). Entry door is directly between the two.
-There is not enough hot water capacity to last other than a “soap up and rinse”.
-bed was comfy but uncomfortable somehow at the same time? IDK. It slept reasonably well enough but I did wake up a bit sore both mornings.
-Paid parking situation was a bit of a pita. “Park it on Market” is your best bet. Easy to get to, overnight parking, ran about $20/day.
Other than that, nothing to note as far as sub-par.
It was convenient. It was enough. We had a great time.
