Liked: Cleanliness
I had an easy stay here, the staff were lovely and helpful. My room was clean however there was no room service or turn down service. So same towels and bed for my entire stay. The thermostat in the room was functional but broken. Amenities were lacking, be aware that there is no iron, ironing board or hair dryer. There is also no safe for passport or valuables.

The room was as described, well-lit and comfortable. The central air conditioning worked great. They were also willing to store my 1 bag at the reception on my last day once I checked out. Very convenient location with public transport available nearby and the historic downtown / Gaslamp Quarter in walking distance.

VERY DIRTY. Checked in, saw the room and checked out right away. There was mold in multiple locations. Bath tub and toilet leaking water. When flushing toilet it would shoot out water. There were flies coming out of the sink. Bed sheets were stained. Pillows were flat. Bed felt old and used up.Horrible limited parking situation.
