This is a lovely place to stay. Old town is a very nice area that is close to the bus and tram system so that you can easily visit many other areas if you want. The hotel itself is very nice with all the amenities that you need, and very lovely people. I would definitely stay here again.

I checked into the Gaslamp Plaza Suite hotel this afternoon, and the front desk gave me a free room upgrade—what a pleasant surprise! The room has a dedicated bathroom with separate wet and dry areas, a microwave, a small coffee maker, a sofa, a TV, a desk, and two large windows. Moreover, the tissues and towels are folded into beautiful shapes. There's free coffee on the top floor of the hotel, and they even gave me a $6 bus card, which allows unlimited rides on any bus until 11 p.m. The front desk staff was especially thoughtful and told me about the tourist routes. It's a great hotel! I'll stay here again next time I come.
