For The Business Traveler And Convention Attendee (#28343)

April 2008

This efficiency apartment offers all the amenities as advertised. The payment transaction via fax and key exchange through the mail was convenient. The entire studio is not much bigger than a Hilton- or Hyatt-sized hotel room, but with the benefit of a kitchen, washer/dryer, and included underground gated parking space. It's on the third floor of a four-level mixed use condo building. I recommend bringing earplugs, as Market Street is right below, which is a principal route from the Gaslamp Quarter (bars, restaurants, entertainment) to a couple mega hotels on Harbor Drive. The windows don't do a good job of blocking out the outside noise, and the window coverings are unattractive and allow the bright morning sunshine right inside. Can you say "cock-a-doodle-doo"? By far, the selling point of this unit is its decent value, and its proximity to downtown attractions. Based on that, I would recommend it particularly to the single business visitor or tourist.
