This is a nice hotel and an excellent location. Be aware it is a very adult themed hotel and not really suitable or marketed for families.

This place is awesome for a true SD experience. Could throw a rock and hit PetCo park. Service was fantastic all around and have to give a shout out to all my boys at Valet - Lalo, Tam, Tony, Felipe, Hector and Drew. I had my two young boys with me and they took care of me every time I had to load up the car and always gave me the local tips.… Read more

This place is a great choice for anyone looking to combine convenience with great customer service. Situated in a prime location, it offers easy access to the convention center and the Gaslamp Quarter. From the moment you arrive, the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and catered to. Michael B, the valet was amazing even though we checked in at 2am. I felt incredibly well taken care of. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, and I love the rock music theme. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming, and I felt comfortable and welcome.
