The hotel's rooms were small but efficiently designed with small fridges and kitchenette facilities, though the lack of windows made them feel a bit dingy. The service was fantastic, with friendly and accommodating staff who immediately helped make my sleep more comfortable by bringing a fan. The location was ideal, surrounded by great bars and restaurants for a lively atmosphere, but the poor internet was a downside. The dining options were limited but sufficient for a quick meal before heading out. Overall, a cozy stay with great service and a lively neighborhood.

The hotel is perfectly situated in the Gaslamp Quarter, ideal for exploring the area with its great atmosphere and layout. The rooms are unlike any I've experienced in this price range, offering spacious and clean accommodations perfect for couples. The service, from the front desk throughout my stay, was exceptionally friendly. However, the dining experience was lacking in quality and value, with basic options and high prices for what was offered.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms that are comfortable, but somewhat small with no view. Despite the lack of soundproofing, the rooms are provided at no extra charge. The service is friendly and accommodating, especially notable staff members Merry, Sean, and Jennifer. The location is good for exploring the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego but can be noisy due to nightlife activities and homeless presence, making it feel somewhat unsafe. The dining experience lacks variety and may not meet expectations for the price paid.

The hotel had rooms full of character and charm with all the amenities, but some areas were musty. The service was extremely friendly and helpful, making the 6-night stay convenient. Its central location near public transportation and numerous dining options made it an excellent choice. Dining options were limited, yet there were nearby alternatives. The facilities were well-maintained.

I had a pleasant stay at Gaslamp Suited in San Diego. The rooms were spacious enough for my family of three and offered a clean and comfortable bed, although an upgrade of furniture and fittings would be beneficial. The location was convenient, close to public transportation and within walking distance of various restaurants and bars, making it easy to navigate San Diego without a car. However, being in the historic Gaslamp District, it can get noisy at night. The dining experience was decent, with options within walking distance, but it left room for improvement. Overall, a good value for money.

Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were simply gorgeous, reminding me why chain hotels can be so bland, although the rooftop view was quite dark without much chance to open the window. The service provided by the friendly and service-minded staff was exceptional, making our 6-night stay convenient and enjoyable. The location in the Gaslamp Quarter area was central to everything one might need, although it could get a little loud late into the night from the club downstairs. The dining experience with a beautiful skyline view was mediocre, offering just a continental selection, and the facilities, including dry cleaning and valet parking, were satisfactory.

The location of the hotel is excellent, right in downtown San Diego in the Gaslamp Quarter with vibrant nightlife nearby. The rooms are unique but have some design quirks like a strange sitting device in the bathtub. The price may seem high for the room I had, lacking some expected features and soundproofing could be improved.

I loved the hotel's convenient downtown location in San Diego, close to everything we wanted to do. The rooms on the 9th floor had a nice view, though they were a bit cramped. The service from valet to front desk was absolutely brilliant, making our stay extra pleasant. While the dining options were basic, the overall value for money was decent.
