Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A 1924 former Army-Navy YMCA on Broadway, converted into a design-led boutique with Renaissance bones and 162 rooms. It suits travellers who care about architecture and want to sit midway between the Gaslamp and Little Italy. Two dogs up to 40 lb are welcome. The hotel is mid-renovation through 2026 and adding a pool, so check what is open when you book.

Two dogs up to 40 lb, with bigger dogs only by prior approval.

Not every room takes dogs, so ask for a pet room when you book. The rooms run small. The hotel is mid-renovation through 2026 and adding a pool.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
