Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego

Each room at this hotel features a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Select rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. All rooms come with a private bathroom equipped with a shower that includes guest bath robes and free toiletries. Nice and clean room, good size for two people. It has plenty of both electricity sockets and USB sockets for charging devices. Bed was super comfortable, it was hard to leave it. The bathroom was modern and clean, great shower, with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel available. Central location by the Gaslamp Quarter. Amazing staff, so friendly and helpful. I was not expecting a free welcome drink and cookies upon check-in, that small gesture really heightened the experience. I absolutely love the pineapple theme and the pet friendliness.
