The "suite" was just o.k. The room was in need of some updating. The closet was 18" wide and not long enough to hang a dress or a pair of slacks. There is no restaurant on premises, which can be ok, but there wasn't even a place to buy some essentials or snacks.

"Great Hotel and a fantastic location"

Great hotel and location. Very easy to get to many locations, four or five blocks from the Sante Fe train station. Room we had (corner king suite) was recently renovated and was very comfortable, clean and quiet. Price we paid was very fair for downtown! A pick up Starbucks location is right off of the lobby and soon to have a restaurant, but an SD restaurants are plentiful.

"An OK hotel option if you need to stay downtown"

The location and parking were terrible. There's supposedly a discount for the parking but I was not informed when I asked the front desk. The room was nice and appeared clean. Although, a proper door on the bathroom would have been good. If you have a car, I'd recommend staying somewhere with actual parking as it's over $40 per 10 hours.

Very nice, well located historic hotel with ambience and charm. Easy walk to the Gaslamp District and not terribly far from the waterfront either. The newly renovated rooms are tastefully decorated with all digital controls for lighting. Suitable for solo travelers and couples who don’t require a pool or hot tub during their stay.

"End of a holiday which had started in San Francisco"
TripAdvisor user rating 3.0 out of 5
Reviewed September 26, 2025 NEW
When we arrived in the hotel we found the reception staff not very helpful or pleasant. They didn't tell us how to find our room or ask if we needed assistance with anything. The room was small and very warm and although it had air conditioning it was extremely loud so we were unable to leave it on at night. The ensuite was very small with the sink actually situated in the bedroom so once you had used the bathroom you had to come out to wash your hands. The room was serviced every day but I did put the sign on the door to request this. Cleanliness was satisfactory but not spotless. They had put a fridge and a microwave along with coffee machine in the room. However, it was missing the ability to make tea which visitors from UK would appreciate more than coffee. Finally, on check out we weren't asked if we had enjoyed our stay and I felt the receptionist, Martha, was too busy talking and joking with Caesar to concentrate on us, the guests. Don't think we would stay again
