Recent Gaslamp Plaza Suites Review: "From Valet to View-this hotel was OUTSTANDING!!! The valet's were all super friendly (one even helped us with directions from his personal cell phone and showed me a map). I accidentally left my laptop in my car when I left valet. I was already in my room when I realized it and didn't want to bring the kids all the way back down so I called the front desk and she said the valet could bring it up with my baggage. I didn't have cash on me for tip but he was still super helpful and friendly (I made sure to tip well later that day). Wake up calls were timely and friendly. Food was standard for continental breakfast but the view was completely unexpected and refreshing. Breakfast is self serve on the roof top with a view of Downtown San Diego and the Gas Lamp District as well as the Coronado Bridge. When traveling with 2 small children, it's difficult with baggage. Upon checkout, I asked the front desk if I could get help. "Of course." was the response I got and minutes later, a friendly valet was at my door ready to get my things. He walked us down and even loaded the baggage in my car. Overall, the whole staff made me feel like we were royalty, no matter what time the request. Valet was available and friendly even at 1am and 4am. I would stay there over and over even if it is farther from where I'm traveling just to get that experience again. And the bed...We didn't want to get out of it. Sooo comfy."
