    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.

    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.

    The staff were all very helpful and kind, but the area was exceedingly loud and the room did little to nothing to dampen the noise so if you’re looking for somewhere quiet this isn’t your place. Also, not family friendly.

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.

I liked the property but will be looking for a different neighborhood for my next visit to San Diego.

    Our one bedroom suite appeared to have been recently refreshed. The furniture and carpet looked very new. The room was clean including the bathroom. Very conveniently located to the Gas Lamp district. They were flexible to allow early check-in as our room was ready. The rooftop space for coffee and enjoying the views were nice. The building was constructed in 1913 and has nice charm to it. The exterior side of our room windows were filthy. Having lived in high rise buildings both of the same age and more modern it appeared that they hadn’t been washed in over a year. Friday and Saturday night partying crowds in the GasLamp district can be heard. I was not bothered by it but my partner was the first night.

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.

    Everything about this property with the exception of the valet service was great. Suite was clean and beds were very comfortable. I didn’t expect the suites to be as large as they are which was a huge plus. I will stay there again. The valet company however was not so good. They took way too long to acknowledge we were there and took forever to bring my car to me even though I have them 20 min heads up as requested. I eventually discovered my car was parked outside but had to wait another 20-30 min to get my keys.

    The staff was amazing! The room was beautiful and cleanliness was top-notch. Great city views. The parking cost in the area is very high. The noise level from loud cars and motorcycles was really high, but it quieted way down after 10 PM and did not disturb our sleep. Our particular queen bed was a bit sunken in the center, causing a little discomfort when sleeping, but in general we would give high marks to the bedding and pillows.

    We loved the rooftop and the friendly staff, but after all the reviews we read, we expected the room to be more spacious. We didn’t even have a view, just a glass window that you couldn’t even look out of. It felt like a prison. The room was clean and the hotel is extremely convenient as we were out exploring most of the time. But make sure to always ask for a suite not a room.

    The room was very clean and we were upgraded to a junior suite which was unexpected and nice! Staff was very friendly. The noise from the Gaslamp was pretty excessive late into the evening but that's to be expected. We didn't spend a lot of time on the property because we are out and about. Highly recommend going to the 10th floor for panoramic view of the marina Coronado Island etc. Overall a good stay and we would come back but we would probably ask for a room that doesn't face the main strip.

    Very quiet hotel on the 6th floor, don’t even know if I had neighbors, maybe once during the week heard a fire truck or ambulance outside (which is true for any downtown hotel). House cleaning was excellent everyday and near spotless each time. Room A/C and heat was pretty fast, although the jr suites in this hotel are on the small side so easy to get temp to where you want. Amenities are super basic “farmer bothers” coffee (do not recommend, tons of options near by) and non-named shampoo/conditioner wall pump style, but at the rate you are paying for this room, not bad at all. After this stay with a conference at the convention center, for the rate, a pretty good value and location. Valet parking is pricey but that is everywhere and the valet guys were super nice and helpful. Very much a go-to hotel if you don’t want to pay $350/night at the other large chain hotels nearby.

    Room was very clean and charming. It was the junior suite and was perfectly sized with a couch and desk.

But San Diego isn't silent and on NFL playoff weekend the bar across the street was rowdy until after midnight.

    The staff were all friendly and helpful. But so many issues with the hotel itself, the hotel undergoing MAJOR remodeling and you will be effected by it. First and most annoying was NO hot water for either shower or sink the next morning. And the shower handle wouldn't even turn passed the 1/2 way point so I figured it was the shower handle not the hot water itself. So being in a hurry to catch the train I thought I'd just wash up in the sink, no luck there no hot water ever came out of the tap. And it turned out my travel companion who was in a different room on a different floor had the same experience. The "standard" room was overlooking an air shaft, with frosted windows, so very dark inside. No extra blanket, and just a thin blanket on the bed, no bedside table to put things on, no luggage rack, no bath mat or rug to step on getting out of the shower. Lacking in so many of the basics it was like this place had just opened yesterday. The location was fine, but you could tell you were getting into a sketchy area of the Gaslamp district. I would not recommend the hotel even thought the staff was very pleasant, the amount of issues with the rooms couldn't be remedied by friendly kind staff. Stay somewhere else.

    Nothing is WORSE than encountering a KAREN IN PUBLIC. But to deal with one on your vacation, and THEN have them check you in.... Nightmare.... When I asked if there was any comps for an early check in, she give me smirk, laughed and said NOT for free and offered me a higher nightly rate than what was advertised on Expedia or on their website. This place is NOT gay friendly and she's from my experience doesn't seem open to welcoming POC.PLUS my room smelled like weed!

    As a lover of the beauty, timelessness and history of early 20th century architecture, I can honestly say that I loved staying in this hotel. Its proximity to public transportation and nightlife venues was good for us. We frequently visited the roof lounge and found the complementary coffee bar awesome, as well as the coffee itself. The evening view from the rooftop over the city was amazing. The staff was amazing, too, and so friendly and helpful. My only issue, and it’s a minor one, was the lack of fabric softener on the towels; they were a bit rough. Clean and comfortable with lots of charm. Would definitely stay there again.

    We checked in around 10 pm. We had to walk down stairs 7 times to get the room key activated. The security guard had to come up 2x and then the manager had to come with the master key to let us in. The beds are small. Fulls are the biggest size they have. Perfect for kids not so much for adults. Wouldn't stay again.

    Shops were nearby. However it’s downtown which is bad for a could reasons. Transients were everywhere, and downtown is filthy. We did walk to a few places nearby, but it was irritating to be hassled everywhere we went. It was a nice old hotel, I love the history. But old buildings were not build for noise reduction, and between the clubs, fights, police, sirens, it was LOUD all night.

    Close to plenty of bars, restaurants and walking distance to Petco Park, in the heart of the Gaslamp District. Front desk staff was kind and made check-in easy.

    Where do I begin? Cons: It’s a hotel/apartment, and the parking is $50+. Once you enter, the place has a distinct smell of an old building (9 hours later, the smell is still stuck in my nostrils), with the scent of age baked in. The room was a hole in the wall and decent, yet creepy because the door was a glass door with gold curtains, reminiscent of those you’d see in a detective's office. Save the money and find another place.

    Dear Expedia Customer Service, I booked a standard double bed room through Expedia with Gaslamp Plaza Suites in San Diego for 8/30-9/1. Before booking, I called the hotel directly (Aug 25 at 10:49 PM) and was assured by staff that “double bed” meant two separate beds. Based on this confirmation, I chose this hotel over others. Upon check-in, I was given a room with only one bed. When I called the front desk, staff admitted that standard rooms can come with either two twin beds or one queen, but told me the hotel was full due to Labor Day weekend and the only option was to pay an upgrade fee. I was denied the room type I had specifically booked and confirmed in advance. To make matters worse, the front desk staff treated me rudely, dismissed my concerns, and even laughed and spoke about me in front of other guests—behavior that was extremely unprofessional and humiliating. Those other guest happened to be my extended family. It was a coincidence that we happened to be booked at the same hotel. This experience amounts to false advertising and a breach of my booking terms, compounded by poor treatment. I am requesting a refund or appropriate compensation for not receiving the room type I reserved and confirmed. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing your prompt response. Sincerely, Cynthia Perez Booking Reference Number 73220532686895

    We asked if we could move rooms but were told that wasn’t possible due to the time of night. We then asked about compensation and were told to check with the front desk in the morning. When we did, we were met with a rude and dismissive response and were told there was nothing they could do — and that they were waiting for us to check out before inspecting the leak. We also paid a $100 security deposit at check-in that we were told would be refunded, but we have not received it yet. We reported the issue promptly and used the room normally, yet the customer service and follow-up were very poor. I hope management takes this seriously and improves how they handle situations like this.
