Excellent all around!
Great place, beautiful, classic restored Victorian with all the modern amenities and cozy comfort. Location is great at the north entrance to the Gaslamp district with food bars and the San Diego harbor. The staff are professional and polite! I’ll stay here again for sure.

Very cute hotel. The staff was super friendly and always polite. The room was simple but modern and perfect for what we needed. The only things to keep in mind is that it’s an older building so you can usually hear people walking by or in the staircase. The area around the hotel is interesting but no major issues throughout the stay!

Honest review
Rooms are small but very clean and well kept. Bed was a little stiff for my liking, lots of different pillows from firm to soft. Walls are thin. Lots of noise. Overall a nice place and a pleasant stay overall

First time there
We really enjoyed our weekend stay. The building and it's interiors are historic, high ceiling and wooden interior. Such a pleasant difference to anonymous highrises. Spotless and great welcoming front desk staff. Free Starbucks coffee.
Missed a small table to put our water and coffee. Relaxing vibe!

Great find in the gas lamp!
Booked the beau last minute. The hotel is newly opened in a renovated 3 story building from the early 1900s. They kept a lot of the old world charm, but it was also modern and comfortable.
They offered free coffee in the morning and the front desk employee also walked my to show me my room.
I was on an interior room so it was very quiet even though it is in a busy part of town. Finding street parking nearby overnight was very easy.
There is no elevator so you will need to walk up some stairs with your luggage

Gorgeous historic hotel - a little too warm for us
This hotel is beautiful. It is in a great location. The employees are very kind and helpful. The only issue we had here was that there is no AC and then also no fan. We'd have been fine with no AC if there was a fan to move the air around, but we were miserable in our hot room. With the window open there still was no circulation, it was hot and very loud outside with the window open. If there was just a fan, I'd want to stay here again and again. We actually contemplated leaving and finding somewhere else to stay we were so hot/stuffy in our room. We were also sad the bar area was closed during our visit. If they add fans, then this place is beautiful and I'd love to come back!!

Beware of Parking, noise, and small rooms
The parking situation was a nightmare. Either paid on street for a max of 2 hours at a time, or a parking garage on the next street over for $43 per night with in/out privilege. This was an unexpected cost as it is not mentioned anywhere.
We drove around for 10 min before a "spot" opened near the hotel in order to check in.
Rooms were extremely small. Enough space to walk around the bed. No closet at all, just a little rack to hang up clothes.
Not sure how much bigger the upgraded rooms were.
Walls really thin and windows not sound proof. So a noisy party from the floor above kept us up, and people on the street outside keep waking us up through the night.
No phones in room to contact front desk so had to walk down stairs (unsure if there was an elevator anywhere) to talk to front desk.
He took care of the noise of the party within 10 min, but they kept stomping around all night, and there was nothing to be done about the noise outside.
The bed was extremely firm.
Coffee maker/Tea was in a communal area, so not in room. Not sure how fresh coffee is in the pots.
No surface areas to put anything on.
Were hoping for a romantic night in a historic building, but got a sleepless night that killed the mood quickly.
If you need a room to pass out after a night of partying in San Diego Gaslight District, this would probably work for you. Otherwise if you are looking for quite and romance. This is not it.

Cute quirky hotel
Super cute newly remodeled hotel right in the heart of Gaslamp. All the staff was beyond friendly, and had free coffee in the morning. The WiFi did not work, which wasn’t a big deal as we barely spent any time in the room, and it was a weekend so didn’t have to work.
The only downside is there is no fans, and no AC in the rooms. So the room was so stuffy and you can’t open the windows at night because it’s just simply too loud. Not somewhere we would stay during any other season besides winter.
