Friday the 13th Spooky Weekend
We stayed here on Friday the 13th and were delighted because this historic building is known to be one of San Diego's oldest haunted places. Our stay was amazing! Didn't see any ghosts but the spirits were flowing downstairs at the Salt & Whiskey bar! Top notch service. Very personable. Thank you so much! The value was amazing.

Convenient and antique vibe
This is second time staying here. Very close to the convention center and everything in downtown. Old wood furniture and high ceiling, so nice feeling.

Good place to stay for conventions
We enjoyed staying at this hotel. It is close to the convention center and all of the activities in the Gas Lamp quarter. The hotel is an older facility but it is well maintained. The lobby and courtyard are fantastic. There was a gas fireplace in the room and a small balcony also. The price was reasonable. I’d stay again.

Great experience
The hotel is rich in history and so beautiful the rooms have original bay windows and fireplaces. The staff was nice and helpful the gym is cute and has everything you might need. Close to food drinks and leisure. I would love to come back! We were there for a conference at the convention center and it was only about 5 minutes walking distance. only about a 15 minute drive to coronado beach. The bar is very nice with a rustic vibe and the bartenders were pleasant and knowledgeable.

Great location but some cons
We stayed for three nights, the first night there was a loud party in the courtyard till 10:30 PM which made it hard for us to sleep with the baby. The rooms were a little crampy, but the service was overall good. The best part of the day was the gaslamp district and close proximity to restaurant and shopping and the convention center.

Seems very hit-or-miss.
My 1st room was street level and you could hear every person walking by on the sidewalk. Unacceptable and I quickly switched out.
My 2nd room was drafty, had a broken heater fan that woke me up in the middle of the night, and terrible pillows.
My 3rd room was fantastic.
