My husband and I were not happy with the dark small room. It was called Gothic, and that it was! Weird old bed, dark wallpaper and inadequate bedside lamps. I get that they're trying to keep it Victorian, but bright bedside lamps and a functioning shower would have made our stay more pleasant. The bed was just ok, could have been firmer. And my husband objected to the street noise (which didn't bother me, but I thought I should mention for those that worry about such things. Perhaps the other rooms are further from the street).
The location is great for Balboa Park and some wonderful restaurants. Parking is convenient. We did enjoy sitting in the garden, which is quite lovely. And we thought the breakfast was terrific. They apparently read these reviews, and I was impressed with the linen napkins. Tea was fine - we're big tea drinkers and appreciated the quality that was served. And the scones and muffins were fabulous (hey, you're on vacation, a few more calories you can deal with when you get home).
