    Central location, impressive building but poor sound proofing between walls- had to compliant about large group next door. Fun seeing the safe downstairs, valet service was excellent.

    They don’t except payment via UK debt card on the reception when all other 7 hotels we stayed in whilst in California did- annoying.

    Property response:

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed our central location, the character of our building, and that you had a great experience with our valet service. It's also wonderful that you got a chance to see the historic safe — a favorite detail for many of our guests! We sincerely apologize for the noise disturbance you experienced and appreciate you bringing it to our attention during your stay. We understand how important a restful environment is, and we’re always working on ways to improve sound insulation and guest comfort. Regarding the payment issue, we regret the inconvenience caused by our current card processing limitations. While we do our best to accommodate a wide range of payment methods, we understand how frustrating this must have been — especially when compared to your experience at other hotels. Your feedback has been noted and shared with our management team for review. We truly appreciate your comments and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back with an even better experience next time.

    The valet parking guys were friendly and respectful. Historic building and close by many attractions. Quick service and clean rooms.

    The arrogant front desk, not sure if I should label them as racist but they didn't respect me. I was told you either take the elevator or take stairs to climb the 10th floor, in my view this was a sarcastic and sick way of talking with a customer. The spring beads are really bad, not at all comfortable.

    Property response:

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly glad to hear you enjoyed the location, found the building’s historic charm appealing, and received great service from our valet team. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to them. However, we're very sorry to hear about your experience at the front desk and your discomfort with the bedding. Please accept our sincere apologies if any member of our team came across as disrespectful or unprofessional — that is absolutely not the standard we uphold. Your comments are being taken very seriously and have been shared with our management team for immediate review and follow-up. We also regret that the bed did not meet your expectations and will be evaluating the condition of the mattress in the room you stayed in. Guest comfort and respect are top priorities for us, and we deeply regret that we fell short during your visit. We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn more and make things right. Please feel free to contact us at [hotel contact information]. Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us grow and improve.

    The neighborhood was not welcoming. Felt it was unsafe to walk to restaurants at night. Part of the reason we stayed in the area was to see the “Gas Light” area.
