The hotel is situated right in the heart of San Diego downtown, making it a convenient choice. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a nice brief bathroom, but the view into a well-like inside yard might not be everyone's preference. The service, from housekeeping to receptionist, was attentive and helpful, although there were some mix-ups with reservations. The location is excellent for exploring the Gaslamp District, and the dining options, while light, are included in the package and come with WIFI. The facilities are sufficient, with some minor room for improvement.
