We always look for Kimpton properties when on vacation as they are good values and great rooms. This hotel didn't disappoint. They have a wonderful pool and lounge on the fourth floor roof that makes a great place to relax after a long day. Our room was fairly large and came with a sunken tub for two complete with jets....

This was a few years ago (2010?). The Kimpton hotels were running a great special, only $99 per night! Perfect for a romantic getaway! I was really excited, and it was a nice little property. Rooms are exactly as pictured on the website (which is rare), and they DID have all the little specials, like the free wine reception, which... More

This hotel is situated in the center of the historic Gaslamp District of San Diego. We were treated like royalty by the hotel staff. It was fun watching the parking valets "run" to get our car. They care about their guests. Try upgrading to a suite, we appreciated the extra space. I we go back to San Diego we will... More

Stayed for four nights for a conference at the convention center, which is in short walking distance. As with every Kimpton hotel, nice and small reception area, free wine tasting, and just a nice warm feeling. Parking easy and relatively cheap in the own hotel garage – only valet. Pool and fitness good for a downtown hotel. First had a... More

Overall a very nice hotel. The checking and later checkout was very fast. Front desk personnel were very friendly. I had breakfast in the attached restaurant and the food was good and reasonably priced. The location is great as mentioned in other reviews. My room was quiet and the beds were comfortable. I would give the cleanliness 8/10. The 4th... More

Okay, here is the GOOD: - the location is great and within easy walking distance to the baseball field, convention center, Seaport Village and all the wonderful restaurants/shopping of the Gaslamp area - the hotel is fairly modern and was mostly clean (just noticed some bits of paper down the hallway - but could have been a one time thing)...
