The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast seven days a week and is close to many restaurants within the Gaslamp district. Travelers won’t go hungry with BuonAppetito, Lou & Mickey's, Civico 1845, The Oceanaire Seafood Room, and Cafe 21 just down the road.

The hotel’s location in the heart of Downtown San Diego and cozy accommodations make it an ideal destination for leisurely and business travelers.

10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Clean and nice place. I really liked that they included ear buds, didn't use them but it's nice they thought ahead because the room was right next to a main street and the street traffic woke me up a few times.
