The pool is small And in an enclosed area, wish it was rooftop outside. Also they chafed $65 for valet parking and 25$ fee… too many hidden fees. Staff were nice a complimentary bfast was a plus.

Everything was nice for the price point. We did not participate in the happy hour but I heard good things. Bed was comfortable, the sheets felt good, bathroom was fine. Only complaint I had was that the breakfast thing began closing 40 minutes before the states close time. As such, by the time we got out of the omelette line, all the fruit, yogurt, toast, danish were all put away. After eating half my omelette, I wanted more coffee, but the sweeteners were all put away. Very convenient to shopping, the Gaslamp District…

Overall, the property is nice. The issues I had were that the room had a smell like it was cleaned with a dirty/moldy towel. Also, one of the sinks had a very slow drain, and one of the shower doors didn't slide open, which made it difficult to turn on the water.
