Front Desk staff were very friendly, helped with recommendations on places to go as well as public transportation. Was always greeted with a "welcome back" when entering the hotel. Very clean hotel, decent free breakfast. Perfect location for those seeking nightlife and the party vibe in gaslamp area.
