Enjoyed our stay
It was a pretty nice hotel and fairly clean. It was a lot to do around the area and I felt very safe inside the hotel as well! The only thing is the tv didn’t have streaming options so that kinda sucked on the relaxing time but other than that worth the stay they do have cable!

The stay was great I wish their pool was a bit bigger since they do have day party events. But overall was very happy with our stay and the bar option near the pool is perfect. Conveniently located near bars and restaurants

Gaslamp Quarter
Staff was friendly and professional.
I especially liked the Welcome text that allowed us to communicate easily- to request a microwave, late checkout and restaurant info.
The hotel was close walking distance to bay access at the Convention Center.
