We had a wonderful stay at the Plaza Suites in the Gas Lamp area of San Diego. The hotel’s location is excellent. It was a quick walk to Petco Park to watch a game and close to so many great bars and restaurants. Our room was super clean and spacious. My wife and I enjoyed our stay.

Nice hotel. Had a corner unit which was very bright and light. Please take into consideration that Gaslamp Quarter bars and restaurants are very close and noisy at night.

First of all, the staff was incredibly kind and filled with great recommendations. Many things in my room were dirty, but nothing absolutely disgusting. Mostly walls and doors being dirty. Parking is insanely expensive, so prepare for that. Valet is somehow $20 cheaper than self parking in the lot for the night. I wish it was complimentary when you're staying there. But the building is beautiful and historical with a gorgeous rooftop terrace. I would definitely stay again.
