    I thought this hotel was great and way beyond my expectations. The people that work here are some of the nicest at any hotel. The rooftop patio was a... lot of fun to hang out on and look down at the rest of the Gas Lamp district. The only concern I had before going was that there might be some noise, but the hotel was quiet and peaceful. I definitely recommend this place by Ted  from Denver on 05/19/13

    A short guide to Downtown - San Diego Intl Airport (SAN)

    San Diego’s waterfront airport lies northwest of downtown, which is home to the San Diego Convention Center, PetCo Park stadium, and the Gaslamp Quarter’s. That historic neighborhood’s restaurants and bars are the hub of the city’s nightlife. Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo form a green swath in this urban jungle. Offshore, Coronado Island offers postcard views of the city skyline.

    This location was great and that's about the only good thing. The rooms were cheap, but tiny. The lobby didn't feel welcoming. Breakfast was not included (my mistake) but the adjacent restaurant was supposed to be the alternative. It was full at 9.45am. I wanted to print boarding passes but there was one computer with a printer and it was constantly […] in use. I've been to other hotels where it is located by the front desk to deter mega users. Will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Read more

    You couldn't ask for a better location if you want to check out the San Diego nightlife. The service was great, the rooms were clean, and the view from the top of the hotel was spectacular. The old fashioned elevators took a little getting used too and the room was a little small, but I would rather them not change it. The historic charm of the hotel […] is well worth the minor inconveniences. Read more

    Hotel is charming--original elevators from the early 1900's which were charming the first few times we used them, not so charming after a day or so, particularly when trying to maneuver suitcases etc. into them. But small detail. Room was great, spotless, bathroom exceptionally clean. Very pleased. David's 24 retaurant accessed through the lobby was […] terrific and their staff should give lessons in service and friendliness to the staff at the hotel. Sometimes there were people at the desk, sometimes not. No one ever offered any information without us asking for it. No maps of the area or attractions were to be found in the lobby which was not useful at all. And, when I called to see if they had shuttle service from the airport, no one mentioned you had to CALL the hotel to get the shuttle to pick you up which meant we spent over an hour at the airport waiting.

    This is a historic hotel that hasn't made a succesful transition to today's standards. We stayed in a two room suite with a shared bathroom. Pros: Great location,The beds were comfortable and the rooms were an average size, the staff was very helpful, free airport shuttle service. Cons: the one sink is in one of the bedrooms not in the bathroom, the […] windows were old and mine was moldy with a broken set of blinds, the rooms each had an old window air conditioner, the unit above mine dripped all night, the carpets were old, the free Internet was slow and inconsistent, the "gym" consists of two treadmills. We won't stay there again. Read more

    The historic st James hotel was just right for us. Initially the small room and ancient elevator were a challenge for us but when you realize that the hotel was built in 1913 for the 1915 world's fair, sharing the historic atmosphere was fun. The location cannot be beat, close to 4th and 5th street where all the nightlife is. The price is right. Though […] not modern the historic aspect makes this hotel a good choice for the price.

    This Ramada has some wonderful historic features, including the nearly 100 year old elevators (patience is a must!).

    The Ramada Gaslamp is a very old hotel conveniently located in downtown San Diego. We were able to walk to most of our destinations. The rooms were very small, but clean.

    Only bad thing about this hotel was no other review said how the elevator is so slow and hard to get into, it's very old fashioned (neat but inconvenient). Also, we received a call from the front desk at 10:49 pm to tell us to keep quiet (our three year old was talking!!) while the people on the other side of us were clearly having a good time!!

    Of course the elevators are small. They are very old. Get a grip, children. Ramada Saint James is charming and the staff pleasant and efficient.

    ...but nothing exceptional. Let me start with the good stuff: the staff was EXCELLENT. Friendly, helpful, outgoing, went the extra mile. I know another reviewer complained about an indifferent clerk, but our experience was the exact opposite--I don't remember ever having a friendly bunch of people serving me. Otherwise: well, there's a reason this […] is the cheapest 3-star in SD. The lobby is large, but pretty spare. It's right on the Gaslamp strip, so you get a couple questionable characters wandering in, though the staff handles them well. The elevators are miniscule: 2 people with 2 bags each is really all you can fit in there. The rooms are TINY! Our queen-sized bed was crammed in, barely space on the wall side to squeeze in. No closet, just a rod and a shelf. End table didn't have a drawer. One bureau. That was it for storage space. No desk; just a writing pad that pulled out from the bureau. Only one chair, and not a padded or upholstered one. Carpet a bit dingy. Bathroom was so small that, if the doors under the sink were even slightly ajar the entry door would hit them. Wood frame around mirror starting to rot. No bar soap, just liquid. Shower pressure OK, but temp would swing wildly. Worst, the vaunted "free wifi" didn't work in our room! We had to go to the lobby to get a signal on our laptops. The "business center" was two desks and a printer tucked underneath the stairs. The rooftop was nothing special. Nice views of city, a few chaise lounges and some tables and chairs. On the first floor there are small open-air sitting areas. The attached restaurant, Brian's, is open 24 hours, which is very nice. Food is OK. Basic American menu--pasta, chicken, burgers, some fish; nothing fancy. Portions are HUGE. And it's pretty pricey for what it is. We spent over $50 on breakfast for 2 (including tax and tip). The next day we just ordered one breakfast and split it, along with a couple of sides, and it was more than enough. Parking is by valet with unlimited in Read more

    If you want one of those hotels that all look like one another, then this is not the hotel for you. But if you want a charming hotel, situated perfectly in the Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego - only minutes to walk to restaurants and the harbor (and even to Balboa Park even if that`s a longer walk) - with staff that give you personal and great service, […] then this might be the place for you. We only stayed for one night but I have no doubt that we would choose this hotel again if we ever came back to San Diego. The roof terrace alone is worth a visit. One can live with rooms with no view when one gets all the charm this hotel has to offer! Read more

    Wir hatten für unsere Übernachtung ein einfaches Zimmer mit zwei Kingsize- Betten gebucht. Es stellte sich heraus, das dieses Zimmer, zwei sehr kleine eigene Zimmer waren, die durch eine Tür verbunden wurden. Sie hatten jeweils einen eigenen Eingang und ein gemeinsamen Badezimmer. Sie waren sauber und einfach eingerichtet. Da die Zimmer zum kleinen […] Innenhof lagen war es recht dunkel darin. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und zuvorkommend. Dieses Hotel ist für Reisende, die ein paar Tage San Diegos Sehenwürdikeiten und Downtown erkunden wollen hervorragend geeignet, da einige davon sogar zu Fuß erreicht werden können. Auch die Nähe zum Flughafen und der perfekt organisierte Flughafentransfer des Hotels ist von Vorteil. Unser Fazit : Ein sauberes, ruhiges, gepflegtes Hotel mit freundlichem Personal, dass für einen kurzen Aufenthalt von 3- 4 Tagen hervorragend geignet ist. Read more
