This is a conveniently located boutique hotel in walking distance to the Gaslamp quarter and the convention center. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are in need of updating, though. Some drawers were broken, lighting is a bit dark, and carpets seem worn.

Disliked: Amenities
We were given a really small room when we first checked in and were told that we would be charged $25 usd service fee per day. We had booked a queen size bed but the one we had seeemd more like a double bed. We later inquired if there was a bigger room and the lady was kind enough to transfer us. To be honest the hotel is old and does not have good amenities. Yes it’s convenient and within walking distance to many places in the downtown area but I would stay at a different hotel next time.
