Interesting take on a boutique hotel, which was completely redone. Penthouse restaurant is excellent but expensive. The views from the restaurant are amazing. The pool area seem nice, but it was pretty cold and foggy most of the day so it was not used.

This historic building of a hotel is beautiful. Located conveniently, walking distance from the Gaslamp Quarters, but is relatively quiet & peaceful. Valet parking is very convenient. Staff is very pleasant & accommodating. We were upgraded, too, to their premiere floor. Corner room was cozy, but very aesthetically pleasing.
