Really lovely hotel, close enough to gaslamp and downtown if you need to be in that area but out of the blast radius of late night bro energy you might get elsewhere. Ended up with a balcony room facing south with a huge bathtub and beautiful view of Petco Park and Coronado Island, well worth it. One thing to note: the pool is very nice but on the small side, get down there early to grab a spot if planning on a pool day.

The room was amazing, one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve stayed in. Please just change the shower heads, the one in my room wasn’t working properly and I when I called the front desk they said there was nothing they could do. Overall amazing stay, I booked the corner room with the city view. Absolutely stunning sunset!
