The price is too high for what it is.
Pros:

Location, coffee and cookies

Cons:

Room location on ground floor had window facing alleyway with construction men walking by often and loud pigeons. Remote control batteries were dead and front desk person said they couldn’t help because they are out of batteries. 2 days later when the other front desk person took a remote from and empty room for us to use, the tv has bright spots all over it when on.
Very small room. Very comfortable bed. They only clean the rooms every other day and somehow that meant one time over 4 nights.

Great place to stay
Pros:

The hotel is perfectly located in the Gaslamp district with easy connections by tram and bus. It is nice and quiet with comfortable rooms. Central water bar and coffee facility in the room makes life easy. Staff is really friendly and help. Free water botte, very nice. Plenty of umbrellas to borrow, fortunately I did not need one. You can also borrow a bike. The only drawback I could find, you cannot contact the hotel via the staypineapple hotline. Super breakfast places nearby
