Hotel Z is a true gem. From the moment we booked the place, we knew we were in good hands. We were traveling with our two dogs and had started our trip at the Margaritaville down the street, which was a disaster. We ended up cancelling our stay there because our dogs were getting noise complaints from barking and there were no solutions from staff to move us to a quieter part of the hotel or move us into a room that didn't have large gaps around the entire door so that our dogs couldn't hear every little noise. We ended up calling Hotel Z, as I had seen that they are extremely friendly, explained the situation and they provided a solution right away! They suggested, without us even asking, if we'd like to stay in a room down the hall, to avoid other guests. Let me tell ya, this worked! No more dogs barking and we could finally enjoy our vacation. Additionally, everything is spotless, the rooms are cozy and they gave us four free drink coupons for all of our hassles with the other hotel. I would highly recommend staying here (and definitely NOT the Margaritaville)!

I liked (1) the decor; (2) cleanliness of the room; (3) beautiful setup of the room; (4) air conditioning; (5) the thermostat with the option for just air (not air conditioning) low or just high or automatic; (6) the body lotion in the bathroom; (7) the coffee setup; (8) being so close to everything in the GasLamp District! (9) only a 10 minute walk to the convention center.

In Room 106, the (1) TV worked well but probably needed to be replaced since it had big white dots that looked like the sun was on a person's face. It wasn't really bad, though, just slightly annoying; (2) there was no iron and ironing board since I was there for a conference but I asked for one and within a few minutes, they appeared! Very responsive. TYSM! (3) I was on the first floor and I could see there was somewhat of an alleyway outside of my room so I closed the double blind and was fine.

The location is a very short walk from the convention centre, which was very convenient for my work. In addition, being in the Gaslamp area meant that there were plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby as well, and a good atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, with tea/coffee making facilities, and I appreciated the water bar in the lobby, as well as the availability of drinks and snacks. The pineapple cookies were excellent!

My room faced an inner courtyard, so was somewhat dark, but as I was out most of the day, this was a relatively minor issue.

Fantastic location. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Welcome drink and afternoon coffee and cookies are a nice touch. Bikes available to use, it’s a nice cycle ride via ferry crossing to Coronado beach.

No parking, but it’s not a problem as there are parking lots near by (you can reserve a space and book online in advance - some have a no returns policy so you need to leave car there for duration of the stay however that wasn’t a problem for us as city was easy to get around without needing to drive. You definitely need to book parking in advance if there is a home baseball game on, we ended up using 707 Broadway as the ones nearer hotel were fully booked but it was good value for money, secure, and only a short walk from hotel. There is a space to park outside hotel to drop off/collect luggage so you can do that first before going to parking lot).

It is walking distance to Petco. Lots of restaurants and bars surrounding the hotel, expect some noise at night. The room we had, the noise was very minimal. And honestly, the bed is so magical- you’ll fall asleep with no problem. The look and feel of the hotel is warm and inviting. The rooms are a good size. The bathrooms are big. The streaming option was a very cool feature and the free items were nice.

The only thing I will say that really bothered me. The first time getting into the elevator to go up to our room- a labradoodle came out and tried to attack me. The lady holding the dog did not have control over the dog where a mad had to grab the dog from keeping him from biting me. Dogs should be vetted better at the hotel for guests safety. I was not traveling with a pet and was very uncomfortable after that situation but had already paid for our room so we stayed

I chose this hotel because it was one of the few low-rise options in the Gaslamp district, and comments were highly positive. I am very, very happy with my choice. The hotel is operating with the priority of customer satisfaction and happiness. The first night, I was unhappy in my room since it was relatively away from the fire exit and since the windows were not opening. Management team changed my room the next morning to a bigger one with openable windows at no extra cost. No breakfast is served yet free coffee is ready every morning in the lobby, along with cold or hot, stil or gas water 24/7. And you can take one of the many bikes the hotel provides as a courtesy. There are also umbrellas available if need be. Room and bathroom were clean; for example, the sink edges were, to my surprise, white and clean.

The color of the carpets seem a bit darkened. As a first impression, I thought the hotel may be not so clean but the beddings and the bathroom were very clean.

Hotel Z had so many special, personal touches that I loved. The welcome drinks, reusable water bottles, and bikes available to borrow were such great amenities! I really liked that they had liquid soap and body lotion dispensers. Not only is this better for the environment, but I personally like liquid soap so much better than the standard bar soap. The location was perfect as well. I was in San Diego to run the San Diego Half Marathon, and Hotel Z was a quick walk to both the start and finish lines. I definitely would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting SD!

Honestly, Hotel Z has the comfiest, coziest, and warmest bed and bedding. The staff giving us the ability to get 2 free snacks or drinks was also really helpful. Having access to free, unlimited water helped us out on our trip immensely. Normally, I would be buying bottled water for our stay. The location was superb as we were able to walk to most places we wanted to visit and we were only about 15 minutes away from all of the museums. And hey! The staff were friendly and great.

I'm betting in the larger rooms/suites that there are microwaves and mini fridges. Unfortunately, in the basic room they didn't have those appliances. I rely on those heavily while travelling so not having them really hurt. It is enough of a deal breaker that I'd stay elsewhere at the same price point if they had a fridge and microwave. Also... Maybe it's just the location but the lack of a parking lot for our stay. I could forgive it if there was a deal between the hotel and a local parking lot, but there wasn't. We did end up finding a decent place to park but without the help of the staff. This info would have been nice to share with a hotel guest before they arrive.

I loved the entire stay! People say the rooms are small and yes they are, but they're clean, nice, comfortable, and so cutely equipped. I love the location as well. It's in the middle of everything. You can find food places and bars no matter which direction you walk. Overall, I loved everything they offered from the complimentary drink, to the bikes you can borrow, to the water bar, to the cute coffee area. I will definitely stay there again when I return to SD.

The only thing I would have to say is the room I stayed in had a see-through window straight to outside. I was somewhat uncomfortable that someone could see too much inside. Luckily the window faced an alley way that wasn't accessible to anyone but the employees.

The hotel is right in the heart of Downtown San Diego's Gaslamp District. Bars, breweries, and food are in mass supply here. Petco Park and The San Diego Convention Center are a 3-5 minute walk from the front door! The pineapple 🍍 theme is adorable.l and the bath robes are incredibley comfy. The complimentary drinks upon check-in as well as the free reusable water bottle are all fantastic extras for this super affordable stay!

Our room didn't have a view of anything except a wall but it didn't take away from the good. However, no affiliated parking lots could make parking very expensive.
