Ein stilvolles Hotel mit Fokus auf Design, das jedoch an einigen Stellen unpraktisch
Pros:

Lage:
Zentral im Gaslamp District gelegen – alles ist bequem zu Fuß erreichbar. Perfekt, um Gaslamp Quarter und Umgebung zu erkunden.

Zimmer:
Ansprechendes, modernes Design mit einer angenehmen Größe. Eine Minibar fehlt, dafür gibt es auf dem Gang eine Kaffee- und Snack-Station – praktisch, wenn auch etwas ungewöhnlich.

Cons:

Frühstück:
Die Auswahl ist leider sehr begrenzt und insgesamt eher enttäuschend. Zwar sitzt man in der wunderschön designten Lobby, allerdings sind die Sitzgelegenheiten zum Frühstücken völlig ungeeignet und wenig komfortabel.

Chic design hotel with all the basics and a little flair
Pros:

Fabulous design, comfortable rooms, kind staff, and really quite a tasty breakfast in a very lovely lobby. Vibes on point. The little bar at the front desk was a nice bonus. And I know it’s corny, but I love the candy and snacks on each floor. I’m a snacky lady, so I love to have something to munch on at hand.

Cons:

Not the hotels fault but a little bit of a seedy neighborhood outside the lil paradise inside. I did appreciate the security at the front door. I also personally would have loved having an actual restaurant on site. This was the main drawback for me. It was quite hot and so a pool would’ve been nice, but I know I’m getting really picky at this point. Regardless, would stay here again when in San Diego.

Overall a great stay! We loved it and would definitely stay again!
Pros:

We had a great stay! I loved knowing there was security and lodgings were super nice!

Cons:

While economical to have the coffee central for the floor, it would have been nice to have in room. There was an issue with the machine on the floor on arrival. The next morning, we had to "get decent" and wait in line with other floor members before being able to get coffee at the machine in the chest.
