We arrived on Cinco De Mayo, 2013, at about 5:30pm. We pulled up to the valet. The valet attendant told us it costs $30 for the valet parking. I asked if there are any other options. He suggested that I could park at the Horton Plaza for $10 a night instead, and directed me to how to get there (just... More

I stayed in a mini suite and I recommend anyone looking at this hotel to do the same. The room was large and very comfortable. The location was geat, close to cool bars and places to eat. Also it is close enough to walk to places like Petco Park to catch a baseball game or walk down to the harbour... More

We got a pretty good deal through hotels.com, I probably wouldn't have paid full price. We got a partial suite which was still pretty big. The windows were huge and afforded great views. The terrace at the top was pretty cool, I got some great panoramic shots of San Diego from up there. I think the hotel was once a... More

The most central location for everything in the gas lamp district. The room was immaculate and the views were stunning of downtown and the Coronado bridge. The new decor was stylish and comfortable and roomy with two large rooms and a large bathroom. It was truly an upscale experience!!!

We stayed in a mini suite with our 8 year old and loved the character of the hotel. It was great having kitchen facilities and a separate living area with a pullout couch. The location was a big plus, part of the gaslamp district. It is a bit noisy and the breakfast as very basic, but would definitely recommend for... More

Stayed at the Gaslamp Plaza suites for 2 nights. Enjoyed our stay. Our mini suite was spacious and nicely furnished. The queen sized bed was very comfortable. All staff were friendly(Mike was great at check-in). The hotel is downtown and within walking distance to everything. Unfortunately, my husband and I were there during spring break. Friday night was pretty loud... More

We recently stayed at the Gaslamp Plaza Suites for 2 nights. The hotel itself is charming, front desk staff always friendly and helpful. Our room on the 6th floor had a bedroom area and a lounge area, bedroom not very big, but having the 2 areas worked well (although had to store our luggage in here). Complimentary continental breakfast was... More

Dear Guest. Thank you for your review. As you mentioned, our location is great, in the midst of the Gaslamp Quarter, close to all the area attraction in San Diego. In regards to your comment about the water, we were aware of this problem which was caused by a construction crew working for the city, that cut off the main... More

Stayed here from the 4th to 10th and loved it. I have stayed in many hotels by major Brands and this was comparable but for different reasons. I agree that people will either love it or hate it. My room was smaller than many I have had elsewhere but I knew that when I booked. The views and accessibility of... More

Walking down Broadway to 5th Street was easy when arriving at the station, then one road down to E Street. The reception was excellent, the room was refurbished but retained the styling of the 1920's. All hall ways and lift have the same style. A very comfortable hotel, continental breakfast is on the top floor with wonderful views across the... More
