Staying at the Gold Room was a pleasant experience. Located in an old-school hotel (“The Chadwick”) in a nice area in the very center of downtown San Diego, the room is a comfortable base of operations for one or two people. It has all the amenities you’d expect from a hotel, and then some – like bottled water in the fridge and the sunny balcony, which is an excellent place to plan your days as you wake up. The room was clean, the host was communicative, and check-in and out was extremely easy (with codes for the doors provided well in advance).
It seems that a number of the other rooms in The Chadwick are also themed, which is an interesting curiosity. The Gold Room’s theme was impressively thorough, and evoked staying in a room in your grandma’s house – in an artful, groovy way. I enjoyed that aspect more than I expected … bravo.
