I had a fantastic stay. My room was immaculate, the bed comfortable and the location was amazing, easily accessible to Balboa Park, the waterfront, and downtown. The entrance may be a bit deceiving, but once you get inside, Bruce has a done of nice job of updating this clearly historic property. I generally don't need a lot of frills and value location most highly. (It's right in the middle of the nightlife district, so you "hear" the excitement. That doesn't bother me.) I would absolutely stay here again.
