The stay was okay, staff was good, the bed and pillows were comfy, but their parking was “sold out” so had to pay an extra $94 for parking across the street for a one night stay. Would have gone AirB&B if I had that info beforehand.

This is a botique hotel in an old building. Rooms are renovated, very spacious and clean. It is right in downtown SD and a few steps from Gastown. Also walking distance to Midway Museum and Seaport Village. Parking is valet only and they charge $42/day. I will definitely stay again in this hotel if I need to be at the city center of San Diego.
