Found on the northern end of the Gaslamp, this historic, 12-story building was San Diego's tallest when it opened in 1913. It's close to restaurants, nightclubs, and shops on 4th and 5th avenues, but you escape the racket when you enter the lobby, adorned with a big crystal chandelier. Good value an...

Early 1900s Hotel - user review
A old hotel that has kept its appeal. If you want to stay in the Gas Lamp area, and not pay the high mega hotel prices, then this is a good place for you. We stayed on the 4th floor facing the street. They did have us sign a street noise waiver, as they cannot control the activity outside and down t...

Great and easy walk to Petco Park for the Padres game yet close enough to access by train and trolley. We didn't need a car the entire trip. Rooms are small but clean. Everything was comfortable and the staff was very helpful. Check out those original, and historic, elevators, but only look up if yo...

I had trouble sleeping my first night staying at the hotel. It was a Thursday night. The sound insulation was terrible and you can hear people yelling, talking, cars flying by all night. I moved out the next day. I could imagine that it will be m...

I stayed here for 2 days, it was NOT worth the money. The convenient location kept me there! The radiator made a horrible sound ALL NIGHT LONG, once we tried turning it off..it got EXTREMELY HOT in the room. There was no way to turn off the heat without hearing the loud horrible sound of the radiato...

Great location, but historic in many ways - user review
Located in a very convenient location. But the hotel is historic , and that means the actual accomodations are not always the best. Bottom floors and some rooms should be avoided. It is a quaint facility, and will hold charm for some. Staff service was very good, and attached restaurant/bar was also...

Sure didn't seem like 3 stars to me. Definitely not worth what I paid. Cute sign in lobby about how elevator was one of the first (if not the first) on West Coast; I think it went in in the 1910's. Unfortunately, the rooms don't seem to have chan...

Great Location - user review
The hotel is old and the rooms are small but for the price (and location) this hotel worked out fine. There's been a lot written about the slow elevators (I think the desk clerk told me they were built in 1913) so if you can, request a first floor room. Overall a ...

The hotel staff is very nice and accommodating and the hotel is very clean but old. All rooms in the hotel are different sizes and shapes and my first room was no larger than a very small second bedroom. The elevator is old and slow and you must pull back a steel accordion door to enter & exit the e...

the room was clean and well kept, but there were few amenities. The coffee pot needed to be moved to be used; the shower stall was very small.

If you want a peaceful nights sleep... don’t stay here - user review
This hotel has an excellent location if you want to enjoy the gaslamp scene. The hotel room was decent, however, I stayed on the 9th floor and I have never experienced a slower elevator. One time I decided to just take the stairs. The windows are paper thin and you can hear the excitement of the par...

Reasonable Deal in Gaslamp Quarter - user review
This hotel is in a prime location in the Gaslamp Quarter. It has easy access to public transportation and is within walking distances to restaurants and the Horton Plaza. It is also a pick up hotel for local tours. It is a historic building, if you set your expectations right, I would say it is a re...

Smallest Hotel Room I’ve Ever Seen - user review
Unless you're getting the deal of the century, I'd skip this one. The hotel has a certain amount of historical charm, but the 1st room I was given was smaller than any cabin on a cruise ship! The hotel room door actually hit the bed upon entry. I complained and was reluctantly (and rudely) given a s...

It was right in the heart of the Gaslamp District and within walking distance of Horton Plaza and many restaurants. The service was very friendly.

This hotel was built in 1913, but when Ramada bought it, they should have brought it up to this century.

This hotel was clean, comfortable. It was very old, (but well maintained for the most part) which created a rather charming atmosphere. The view of the city from our room was very nice.
