Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The property appears to be remodeled and is very nice. The rooms are small especially for more than 3 people. The front staff was very nice with the exception of one young lady, that when asked why our room was not cleaned and towels refreshed responsed by saying, “maybe you should stay at another hotel.” The only critique I have is cleanliness, and obviously the rude girl. The bathroom had black mold. The rest of the employees were courteous and very respectful; especially Erick, the gentleman working valet. The hotel sits very close to the light rail which was a plus and about a 15 minute walk to the Gaslamp District. I probably would never stay there again.

Front desk attendant was unwelcoming. No water or drinks to buy in their sparse assortment of items to purchase. Heard car alarms throughout the night. Would not stay again.

Parking is kind of a pain, especially if you dont drive a small to medium size car. You actuality have to park in a garage adjacent to the hotel. Other than they, nice little hotel in a pretty good spot, being downtown.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed that they had a coffee machine downstairs, shuttle service, and the trolley station right next door made it so easy to get around. However, the hotel does not have a bar or room service early in the morning due to being short staffed. Overall a very nice and clean hotel.
