The good: Beautiful hotel, great decor, comfortable bedding, great food. The Bad: parking fee of $60 a night as a hotel guest is a rip off and the restaurant staff was beyond unfriendly, they looked so annoyed every time someone walked in the door, took forever to acknowledge us, the female worker would completely ignore us whenever we tried to get her attention. Took our order and never made our drinks. Elevator gate is very heavy, they need someone to help guest get in when they have luggage

Not a great hotel
An “historic” building so quirky rooms that are not for business travelers or for anyone that likes quiet or daylight. AC units very noisy and don’t get room very cool. Saw three rooms and all face interior air shafts. So stuffy. No desks and one little garbage can is bathroom for a suite and a one bedroom, which was odd.

Great Instagram hotel. Not super functional though. The rooms are so tiny and the bathroom is even tinier. and the elevator, although is cool, it's a pain in the butt.

Liked: Cleanliness
Cute hotel with a unique vibe set conveniently in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. Bathrooms were interesting, with the sink being outside of the bathroom in the main room. The elevators were small and kind of hard to get in and out of with luggage and more than 3-4 people made it cramped. Rooms were spacious and clean. Main pro is the easy valet pull-up parking and the walkable distance to all the restaurants in the area

We only stayed for 1 night, but very much enjoyed our time at the hotel. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The Saint James bar and restaurant is fabulous!
This was the Happy Hour’s “Cocktail of the Day”. A Rosè and Thyme infused Gimlet. Delicious!!!
Known as the “Wink and a Nudge”, this specialty cocktail has just the right amount of spice to complement the sweet and smoky of the Mezcal.
