The hotel felt like it should have been in another hotel, with the rooms being large and comfortable but needing an exhaust fan in the toilet room. The service was subpar, with poor overnight staff unable to handle serious issues. The location was convenient but noisy, surrounded by an active nightlife. The dining experience had been discontinued, and facilities were lacking.

The hotel is in a bustling area with lots of nightlife places, right next to Gaslamp Quarter and Cafe 21. It may not be suited for someone seeking a quiet getaway. The rooms seemed a little run down but were quiet before 4 pm. The service was excellent, with very helpful and friendly staff at the Front Desk. The location is right in the middle of all the fun action but can be noisy with blaring noise from the bar downstairs. The dining options weren't ideal for business travelers, and breakfast included had been discontinued. However, the facilities were good overall.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although spacious and clean, lacked privacy in the shower area and were not soundproof, allowing music to be heard until late. On the bright side, our choice of the Fresca suite provided a large and comfortable space with a clean design and a patio featuring a spa.

The hotel offers cool rooms with super high ceilings and a rainroom shower, well-designed with luxurious amenities like a Lavazza espresso maker, yoga mat, and cushy robe. The service is very friendly and informative, though not suitable for everyone. Located in the Gaslamp Quarter, it's ideal for a quiet stay away, despite being above a noisy bar. The dining experience provides a variety of coffee drinks and pastries at the Merk. Overall, a stylish hotel with some functional drawbacks and added charges for water bottles.

The hotel room showed signs of wear and tear, with lingering unpleasant odors, which was disappointing given the price. On the bright side, the ambiance and staff were enjoyable, creating a welcoming atmosphere. However, the presence of homeless individuals in the area made us feel uncomfortable, even though the location was close to various attractions.

The hotel's location is fantastic, right in the heart of the lively Gaslamp District with a plethora of dining and entertainment options. The rooms, though basic, offer a peculiar charm with ceiling mirrors in unexpected places. However, the proximity to a noisy bar can disrupt your peace at night.

The hotel has a great location, close to lively clubs and bars ideal for experiencing the San Diego nightlife, but the presence of homeless individuals nearby can be unsettling.

The dining options were varied, including a good selection of coffee drinks. The facilities were satisfactory, offering a comfortable stay.

The hotel rooms, although showing signs of wear and tear, are well-designed and appointed with just the right luxuries like a Lavazza espresso maker and cushy robe. The rooms lack a divide, and cleanliness could be improved. The staff is unfailingly friendly and helpful, providing lots of useful information, though there were occasional delays in responding to requests. The dining experience, while included, could be better with more regional products. The facilities are adequate but would benefit from some updates.

The hotel is set up as studio style, offering little to no privacy in the shower and water room areas. Although my room wasn't quite ready upon arrival, being on one of the top floors had its perks. However, the room isn't soundproof, so you can hear the music until they close down.
