Great historical hotel experience. Rooms were clean and nicely furnished, functional in-room fireplace added a lot of charm. Plenty of interesting restaurants and bars in the Gaslamp Quarter, as well!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
staff was great, location was great.
they do not have breakfast or on site parking (expensive valet is only option other than parking blocks away).
We really enjoyed the location, the entryway and the great little restaurant/bar. The rooms are old-fashioned, but they’re clean and they work, could use some updating when it comes to fixtures and overall appearance in the rooms.
Ac stopped working in room, maintenance came so fast and when it couldn't be fixed I was upgraded to an even nicer room at no charge and no wait. Staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel is adorable and experience was so much better than anywhere else we would have stayed for our conference.
Great place to stay! Walking distance to the Convention center, to the Rady Shell amphitheater, and to the restaurants and bars in Gas Lamp. The hotel is very nice and the staff was great.
Gorgeous spacious rooms and friendly staff. The property is grand and beautiful. Right across from lively Gaslamp District but quiet and peaceful at night. Nice restaurant attached.
This was our first visit in many years. We were surprised by how nice the room was with a living room are as well as a fireplace in the bedroom??!! How cool is that??!!
The attached Salt & Whiskey Bar & Restaurant was great with good drinks and food.
We will be back!
The hotel itself is old but it has a pretty nice “haunted house” vibe which I loved. The manager was amazing to us since I needed some accommodations that I thought I was getting when I booked the room, management made it happen though. Very very happy with my stay at this place.
The hotel reminds you of Main Street in Disneyland but it’s real, not fake. The room was great and the bar at the hotel was awesome. We will definitely be back.
