Beautiful historic hotel. Not the cookie cutter generic hotel. Clean. No smells. Comfortable bed. Friendly, helpful staff. Great location with huge number of restaurant options. Yes, if you stay in this active area, there will be noise outside. No fault of the hotel, and the hotel walls itself were very solid. I'm really glad I stayed here and if in downtown San Diego again, will stay here again.
