Loved the charm of this place, and it was in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter so the location is great. The nightlife noise is there... it didn't bother us even with a small child, but if you're sensitive to noise then you may want to consider that. Parking is a block and a half away so if you have a lot of luggage you could try to find street parking and unload first. For those with kids, the children's museum is great and is a 10 minute walk away.
