I never stay downtown when I come to SD, but the price for the Guild swayed me, and I’m so glad that it did! Waking up with that cute courtyard view in the morning was lovely. It’s close and walkable to everything you want downtown, but it’s still relatively quiet. The staff was friendly and accommodating with my dog, the room was clean and even had 2 things I swear I almost never find in hotel rooms these days: adequate lighting and hand soap! And not jest any hand soap… Le Labo. I will absolutely be back again. For a one-night stay, it honestly felt like a vacation!
