historic charm and convenience
spacious suitecozy touchunique atmosphereexcellent location
The premium suite with a balcony was spacious at over 600 square feet. It seemed like a small apartment! a fireplace added a cozy touch to the room. i especially liked the attention to historical details throughout the hotel. It created a unique atmosphere. the location was excellent. It was a short walk to several attractions.
The historic windows are thin, so i could hear some street noise. Earplugs would be a good addition.
Location

the hotel sits at the south end of the gaslamp district, and most attractions are within walking distance! the convention center is also easily accessible. trams are very close by too.

this victorian-style hotel combines historical elegance with modern conveniences, though some displays may seem slightly cheesy! the bar downstairs offers an interesting experience. it has both great bartenders and average ones!
