Although I felt like it was not a kid-friendly hotel, there were families staying here and a few kids at the pool. And I have to add that they were having a great time.
The swimming pool itself is pretty small and there is not a ton of seating, but there’s an outdoor bar and the vibe is chill. There is a large bar out there too.
My second favorite part of staying here was the shower. Who knew having two shower heads would be so great. I had no idea. Now I want to do this at my house, which will never happen.
Rustic Root had good food and drinks. I love the upstairs area where you can overlook the Gaslamp District. The Firecracker shrimp pictured below are yummy and so are their cocktails.
