Noisy but nice
Stayed here for a week in August. First impressions are of a funky, modern hotel - staff greeted us warmly and were very obliging. Rooms a little small for my liking but nicely presented. Unfortunately we were given one of the worst room locations on offer - on the sixth floor which is one floor below nightclub and positioned directly behind the lift so could hear swooshing sound all night long. I did comment this to staff about mid way through our stay and he kindly offered us another room but, by then, it was after Sunday and the next few nights the nightclub was closed. On the Sat night we had young girls screaming and giggling loudly till about 2.00am - I rang reception at about midnight to complain but I think guest floors should be restricted to guest use only as it seemed a little out of control (perhaps signs in lifts should be posted to remind nightclubbers that there are guests sleeping). Overall, the location to Gaslamp District was good - get up early to rooftop pool if you want to secure a sun lounge. It is a nice place to stay - perhaps would have rated higher if I hadn't had to deal with the noise issues (and hadn't been given the worst room in the house!)
