Good Experience but Beware of Hidden Fee
A quiet European style hotel in turn of the century building with large tastefully decorated lobby and rooms. The desk staff and housekeeping are responsive and friendly giving it a feel of a smaller boutique hotel. Located at the edge of the Gaslamp district just north of Horton Plaza, the hotel is within walking distance of the Convention Center and Petco Park, both about 15 min. Rooms are large, clean and have a large glass window allowing for plenty of natural light. Beds are large and firm, shower spews plenty of hot water. A small refrigerator, coffee maker and large screen TV are in each room. Free internet connection is included along with adequate sized desk for working. Business center is small with a couple of computer terminals and printer available. There is a small fitness center. An upscale restaurant is in the hotel although it didn't seem to be very active as there are dozens of others within walking distance. The only annoyance was an unexpected $15/night "facilities fee" that is added onto the bill on checkout. It made an otherwise pleasant stay a little distasteful.
