Hotel is conveniently located in the Gas Lamp district and is very affordable for a downtown hotel. The elevators are old, slow, and small and the rooms are a bit small as well. However, the hotel is very clean and staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The rooftop deck -- where you can take your own food and beverages, including alcohol -- is awesome with great views of downtown. We arrived after a cross-country flight that left the east coast at 6am and arrived in San Diego at 8:20am. When we checked in just after 9:00am, I said I know it is way too early to check in, but we'd like to store our bags. The front desk manager immediately called housekeeping and asked them to clean our room first and said it would be ready by 9:45 -- and it was! Highly recommend this property. Two great places among many nearby: Coffee & Art and Hub Market and Deli (sandwiches are great and HUGE!). They also sell beer and wine.
