Staypineapple, Hotel Z, Gaslamp San Diego

Hotel Z is a true gem. From the moment we booked the place, we knew we were in good hands. We were traveling with our two dogs and had started our trip at the Margaritaville down the street, which was a disaster. We ended up cancelling our stay there because our dogs were getting noise complaints from barking and there were no solutions from staff to move us to a quieter part of the hotel or move us into a room that didn't have large gaps around the entire door so that our dogs couldn't hear every little noise. We ended up calling Hotel Z, as I had seen that they are extremely friendly, explained the situation and they provided a solution right away! They suggested, without us even asking, if we'd like to stay in a room down the hall, to avoid other guests. Let me tell ya, this worked! No more dogs barking and we could finally enjoy our vacation. Additionally, everything is spotless, the rooms are cozy and they gave us four free drink coupons for all of our hassles with the other hotel. I would highly recommend staying here (and definitely NOT the Margaritaville)!

The location is a very short walk from the convention centre, which was very convenient for my work. In addition, being in the Gaslamp area meant that there were plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby as well, and a good atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, with tea/coffee making facilities, and I appreciated the water bar in the lobby, as well as the availability of drinks and snacks. The pineapple cookies were excellent!

It is walking distance to Petco. Lots of restaurants and bars surrounding the hotel, expect some noise at night. The room we had, the noise was very minimal. And honestly, the bed is so magical- you’ll fall asleep with no problem. The look and feel of the hotel is warm and inviting. The rooms are a good size. The bathrooms are big. The streaming option was a very cool feature and the free items were nice.

Hotel Z had so many special, personal touches that I loved. The welcome drinks, reusable water bottles, and bikes available to borrow were such great amenities! I really liked that they had liquid soap and body lotion dispensers. Not only is this better for the environment, but I personally like liquid soap so much better than the standard bar soap. The location was perfect as well. I was in San Diego to run the San Diego Half Marathon, and Hotel Z was a quick walk to both the start and finish lines. I definitely would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting SD!

I loved the entire stay! People say the rooms are small and yes they are, but they're clean, nice, comfortable, and so cutely equipped. I love the location as well. It's in the middle of everything. You can find food places and bars no matter which direction you walk. Overall, I loved everything they offered from the complimentary drink, to the bikes you can borrow, to the water bar, to the cute coffee area. I will definitely stay there again when I return to SD.
