“What struck me most is the hotel's playful spirit; pineapple-shaped treats and quirky decor make it clear that this isn't just another hotel. The Gaslamp location is superb, as is their uncommon embrace of four-legged guests, even allowing them to stay unsupervised-a real boon for owners exploring the city. It's this blend of thoughtful touches and prime location that sets it apart.”
