Honestly for being only 2 blocks away from the venue we were going to it was perfect.the room was perfectly sized to just chill and catch some z and then head home.super accommodating,especially since I booked it at 12:30am the day of.im assuming it was Rita I was talking to with all my questions and she was absolutely wonderful.if you ever have any issues leave them a voice message and they get back to you pretty quickly.definitely keeping this place in my back pocket for future concerts down here.only thing that was negative was if your like my with ocd with bed sheets,I definitely recommend bringing your own but I do that with all hotels regardless.but a really cute place and great pricing for being in the heart of downtown.thank you guys so much for having us.we really appreciated everything
Traveled to the area with my son. Most important was a safe location close to downtown. If you are a Hilton or chain hotel person this is not for you. I read all the reviews and some were obviously from people that didn’t read the descriptions. We loved our stay. Easy check in. We experienced no noise from other guests There was normal noise trash trucks, traffic and music from nearby businesses. The room was comfortable. Super clean and minimalist. We will definitely stay again.
Rita was wonderful and helpful ! I felt safe and the place was very clean. Minimalist as others state- but I simply needed a comfortable room near the convention center. Great location and nice price!
Hostess, Rita was incredibly kind, suggesting Park It on Market, rooms are cute and fresh offered stairs or elevator. I’ll be staying here in a month again.
Service staff member was really nice and helpful. There was an error with our code to our room and he fixed it asap. He was also very informative about where to park and locations to visit during our stay. The rooms are a bit small but you get what you pay for plus the price is great for its location.
My stay was very enjoyable. The room was great and the staff was very helpful. Great location in Gaslamp.
Hotel GiGi is a great value. Great location right downtown. The host Rita and the manager were very nice and accommodating. Clean room, comfy bed. Also no hospitality TVs which is nice if you want to cast your phone to the tv. If possible I'd book directly through the as opposed to a service like Expedia. Being a staffless hotel things are a little different and Expedia gets things wrong as far as check in details and such. Overall pretty nice and would definitely stay again.
I had a great time at Hotel Gigi. It was my first time exploring San Diego and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The location was great. My boyfriend and I didn’t need to use the car once because everything was within walking distance. The room itself was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Also the customer service was amazing and we were provided codes which made entering/exiting the building very easy. Overall had a great experience at Hotel Gigi. I would stay there again:)
Petco Park baseball stadium & views from the Central Library, plus hip restaurants & brewpubs.
