The hotel is located right in the heart of the Gaslamp District, making it super convenient for exploring the area. While the ambiance is charming and filled with historical elements, the noise levels from both the street and neighbors can be quite disruptive. Rooms are spacious, but unfortunately, mine faced the courtyard which didn't provide natural sunlight. Overall, it has decent value for money considering its location, but improvements in sound insulation are definitely needed.

Dining options were okay but could use more variety; the food was decent but not standout.

Facilities could use some updating to match the vintage charm, especially regarding soundproofing and room condition.
