Prime Location and Royal Treatment
This was a beautifully decorated hotel! I loved all the fresh floral arrangements in the lobby.
The location was great. We were able to walk to bars, restaurants and shops in the Gaslamp District. (There was a music festival going on one evening that we could hear from the room. It was pretty loud, but the music went off fairly early. I think around 10:30 or 11:00.) We never needed to, but if you need to walk to the convention center, my guess is that it would take about 20 minutes. We were not far, maybe a 12 minute walk, from water attractions like an air craft carrier and pirate ship. It took less than 5 minutes to get to hwy 5, so we did a short drive to La Jolla one night for dinner and to see some seals.
Everyone at the hotel was very nice, eager to help and ask how your day was. After we had been in the room for about an hour, the front desk called just to check on us and make sure the room was to our liking. There was a bed turn down service at night. The room was spacious, bright and comfortable. The shower/tub was a small square shape, but comfortable. The shower head was low but worked for me. I really don't see it working well, particularly for hair washing, for anyone much taller than me; I'm 5'2". Perhaps you can request a room with a tall shower head?
We ate breakfast at the hotel and it was amazing. The restaurant was very pretty and we were really underdressed, but the staff didn't seem to care and gave us amazing treatment.
The price (I booked through) Expedia, was very good for the such great accommodations and service. My husband assumed I had spent much more for the booking than what I actually did.
