I had a wonderful long weekend at the hotel, which was located in the lively Gaslamp Quarter-a perfect spot for exploring bars and markets. My suite was impressively spacious and beautifully decorated with vintage charm. I was grateful for the exceptional service from Daquan at the reception, who went above and beyond despite dealing with some unreasonable customers. The only downside was the valet parking cost, which was on the pricier side, but overall, it was a delightful stay.

My stay was filled with charm and character, especially appreciating the historical ambiance that wrapped around me from the moment I walked in. The comfortable beds ensured I had restful nights, and while the unique atmosphere was delightful, I did encounter some downsides, particularly with noise from other guests and some outdated features in the room. Additionally, the parking costs felt a bit steep compared to my expectations.
