The Hotel itself wasn't too bad. The valet was very slow 45 minute wait for our vehicle to arrive even though they said 15 minutes. The homeless and drug activity next to the hotel was awful. We Didn't feel safe in the area. The closest grocery store had many armed guards for an obvious reasons. The hotel isn't responsible but has a big problem to deal with. The hotel plumbing wasn't strong although it worked. Needless to say we won't be back.

Lots of character in this older building.
However, I will not stay again. Upon arrival, I discovered my room did not have any view to the outside world. The window glass was fogged and faced an internal courtyard area not meant to be viewed, apparently. The room was therefore a very depressing interior closet like vibe.
Asked if I could pay for an upgrade to an outside view of the beautiful California sunlight, but was told no available rooms.
Will not stay again and will stick to the big brand hotels. Hilton/Hyatt/Marriott.

Turn-of-the-century Hotel with remaining beautiful marble, tile and wood but things are older, but well kept well maintained. The grander of the hotel still remains in many aspects.
The rooftop deck offers extra extraordinary view of the harbor and town.
My only complaint is the LOUD noise on Fridays and Saturdays bights to 3AM due to nearby rooftop Bars, music, and extremely loud motorcycles and cars. The old windows in the hotel rooms facing E street dont stop the noise.

The room was on the second floor, and could not sleep due to noise. The beds are very uncomfortable, a slight step up from a boxspring. Overall the hotel was very aesthetically pleasing, but that was as far as the satisfaction went

I had booked a suite a specific room and paid extra money however: when I arrived I got a different room that it wasn’t what I had requested I notified the front desk and the response was there were sold out or completely booked and there was nothing they could do but at the end of the day, they said they call me a week, but it’s not what I paid for. Very disappointing.

Terrible experience, there is no restaurant in the hotel and there is no bar/lounge as stated. If you don’t mind being up all night on a Friday/Saturday night then stay at the Gaslight Plaza Hotel. I didn’t know this when I booked this hotel, as the website portrays a different atmosphere. There were police cars, at least 6 when I returned from dinner at 10:00 p.m. It startled me, and I didn’t feel safe leaving at that time of night. The party only got louder and louder, 12:30 am, 1:30 am, 2:30 am, the Hotel attendee apologized but nothing was resolved. So, if you like to,party be sure and go there because you will not have to leave your room, it will be in your room as well as out on the street. The worse hotel experience I have ever had…and Expedia you need to give me my money back.

Quick trip- but the staff was friendly, and even though the building was old it was fairly clean and well maintained. The only downside is the walls seemed thin as we could hear our neighbors. We would stay again.

We booked this the same
Day we got into town. It was soo nice from beginning to end. The staff was super nice and friendly starting with the Valet Guy Casey who was super nice. Then when we checked in, Pablo was super friendly and recommended some great places in the area.
The rooms were nice and decent. We ended up getting a standard room and decided to Stay an extra night. Also when we checked out Mary was super energetic and friendly and very helpful. We will definitely upgrade when we come again soon, in the heart of the Gas Lamp District but overall, this place was the perfect spot to stay. Totally highly recommend.

This location is fantastic, just steps away from a vibrant array of amenities including lively nightlife venues, diverse restaurants, the scenic bay, the nearby zoo, and other attractions. Keep in mind, since it’s right in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, the nightlife can be quite lively, which might be disruptive for light sleepers. The room was lovely and cozy, featuring a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee machine, and a comfortable sitting area with plush chairs and a small sofa. Overall, it was a really enjoyable stay.

That's the most important thing in this business, kindness and empathy.
Also amazing rooms!

Stayed at 2nd floor suite & almost until 3am it was loud & noisy... The toilet paper was cheap paper... Car parking was valet only with additional $56 nightly... The bathroom doors did not function properly & being 2 feet away from the bed made it a very bad design... The large windows for the city view was dirty, looking at tall building walls, with ripped hanging flags blocking the so called view...
Paid almost $300 a night plus parking & we'll never stay there again...

Air conditioning worked well, and the room was clean with small fridge and microwave in a side room with a sofa and tv. It’s walking distance from Petco Park about 12 minutes and all the Gaslamp restaurants, bars, etc.

Well, the hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff was terrific, but the building itself is barely a three star The surrounding neighborhood - during the day - was a little sketchy. At night, however, the area came alive with all the bars and restaurants. And, despite my feelings about the neighborhood, there was convenient public transportation all around and the entire area was walkable.

The hotel was clean and comfortable with helpful staff. The neighborhood is rough. There are a lot of bars, clubs, and restaurants and there was a lot of street noise, music, and cars blasting music past 4 am during our stay. Many unhoused people on the streets. I liked the property but will be looking for a different neighborhood for my next visit to San Diego.

Very convenient place and friendly staff, affordable price and relatively clean room. But that was all. No sun light inside the room, very dark even at daytime. You wouldn’t recognize if it was night or day because it was too dark. Very loud party at Saturday night.
Very nice roof top for free instead.
I could barely stand because it was a business trip. It would have destroyed the trip and left bad impression on San Diego if it was private. Probably I would not stay here again.

The building is beautiful. The room while small was nice, clean, and comfortable. There is a small kitchenette with utensils and plates. It was so convenient. The staff was incredible! If you don't know where to eat, ask them. They have great recommendations. Also, I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste. I called the front desk and within MINUTES one of the staff members was knocking on my door with both. Lastly, please, DO NOT miss going to the rooftop. The view is lovely. I worked there for almost an entire afternoon in beautiful April weather. It was so nice! I had a great experience in this hotel.

Online I read that the parking was included so I did not look for public parking for a fee that was confortable paying. However, when I checked out I found out that the parking was $56.00 per night and my $100.00 deposit was applyed to it leaving me a balance of $12.00. The receptinist never mentioned anything about a parking fee until I check out leaving mw with not choice on the cost for parking.

Hotel and rooms are quite run down and bathroom could use an upgrade. For the price we paid, I expected better but I do need to acknowledge that they accommodated a very early check in with a room upgrade when we arrived before 9am. Since we were in the Gaslamp, there was very loud noise on Friday and Saturday night. Not just music and people going out, but what sounded like street racing, and people on megaphones, and obnoxious sirens. This was on the 5th floor. Wouldn't recommend this hotel to others.

The location was perfect in Downtown San Diego, and when we arrived they offered to upgrade our room. The room was beautiful, clean, and exceeded our expectations. The staff were all very kind and welcoming. It was a bit noisy, but that’s just part of being in the Gaslamp District, and we didn’t notice it at all the second night. We will absolutely be booking here when we visit San Diego again!
