I thought it was a neutral location. One day stay, pretty clean, nearby Gaslamp. The staff was ok. I didn’t feel welcomed as I entered. I guess you can say that the hotel did what it was supposed to do, have a place for me to stay.

I really liked the two double bed rooms with two chairs and a table. Nicely laid out. What I did NOT like was I could not control the temperature of the room and it was very cold. AND there was zero hot water. My shower never got above room temp water. I let the water run for a 1/2 hour but still no heat at all.
