Gaslamp gem

Beautiful historic hotel in the Gaslamp. Very well kept for its age with polite attentive staff, clean rooms, and comfortable bed. Room was well-appointed, unexpectedly quiet despite its CBD location. We were treated to drinks at the Salt + Whiskey hotel bar - a beautiful historic space in and of itself. Would definitely return!

Wonderfully beautiful boutique property, absolutely loved the experience and balcony attached to the room. While we knew this was an older property, some of the bathroom fixtures had green rust build up and the carpet in the hallways smelled. However The open courtyard is amazing and the staff was genuinely nice and very helpful.
