“I found this hotel charming, with a distinctive 1920s aesthetic that sets it apart. The rooftop area offered a great space to unwind, and I appreciated the prime location near Gaslamp Quarter attractions. While the elevators add a touch of history, be prepared for a bit of a workout with their classic operation.”
