The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was typical of HIS. The room was clean and it had a nice size TV in it. The location is great for those wanting to check out the Gaslamp Distict. The view from the patio is very nice. The room price was very reasonable. The reason I said the hotel was... More

We recently stayed one night using the Snooze N Cruise package which is very convenient but unfortunately our car was broken into in the parking garage. The hotel has been unresponsive and even though they were aware of the break in, they did not notify me in advance. A very unpleasant experience coming back from vacation and having to deal... More

It is a simple hotel as many others, with friendly staff. the location is not so bad, not so far from the Quarter, where you can choose any kind of restaurants. It is a few blocks away and you can go by walking (the only point is that the last block, you will feel your foot!!) The breakfast is really... More

stayed one night for business and impressed with the extras offered! Free wifi - free use of lobby computer - free printing - free breakfast. Limited hours happy hour - convenient, clean and extremely friendly front desk team. Nearby "mini mart" if you only need snacks for dinner. And the windows open for fresh air.

Overall, our stay here wasn't too bad. The rooms are on the small side, but they are clean, quiet, and comfortable. The shuttle service was very helpful to getting specific tourist attractions, but the front desk was always really good at helping us find our way around if we didn't use the shuttle. The hotel is in a great location... More

Our group stayed for two nights in April. Reception staff were amazing and managed our large group with great efficiency during check in. They were always smiling and most helpful. The Ambassador was readily accessible and making all feel welcome. Breakfast was great-- hot and cold food to meet everyone's needs. The pool area and patio off reception were comfortable... More

Older hotel, but still very nice. Staff was helpful and very nice. I was taking a cruise and was able to leave my car parked while away, but also shuttled me to and from the cruise port. They have a great free breakfast, with everything from pancakes to eggs.

6 of us stayed here after cruise, arriving at 10:00 a.m. We had expected to drop our luggage, but 2 of our 3 rooms were ready for check-in. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Clean, comfortable with fantastic shuttle service. Nice views of city and walking distance to Horton Shopping and Gaslight district. Balboa Park visited, airport pick-up and railway departure by courtesy shuttle. Would definitely return.
