hotel front view
Centrally located in the heart of San Diego's historic Gaslamp Quarter, the charming boutique-style Ramada Inn & Suites Gaslamp/Convention Center hotel invites you to step back in time to the refined comforts, friendly hospitality and impeccable service of a bygone era.
Originally built in 1913 as the St. James hotel, San Diego's first high-rise luxury hotel, the structure has been brought into the 21st century with complete renovations and upgrades while retaining its historic charm and ambiance.
Beautifully restored in 2005, the property is an oasis of style and elegance for leisure and business travelers alike.
European-style cage elevators (once the fastest in town) lead to 99 beautifully furnished guestrooms and suites. Vacationers find relaxation, while meeting guests gain inspiration from the breathtaking city & bay views of the rooftop's Harborview Terrace.
The property is ideally situated for work or play because everything that makes San Diego great is just outside the front door. Whether you are off to sightsee or to take care of business, at the Ramada Inn & Suites Gaslamp/Convention Center you will receive the highest level of service to cater to your every need.

Hotel Reviews Gaslamp Convention Center (Ramada)
Single traveller
USA, May 2008
The room/bathroom were extremely small. The staff was great, the lobby was beautiful but, I was not very impressed with the room or bathroom. The bathroom was very small and out of date. The shower was entirely too small.

The hotel was fine but too noisy on saturday night

United Kingdom, Feb 2007
Noise from a night club nearby can be quite an issue in some rooms. The hotel location is very convenient for the Convention Centre which is within 10 minutes leisurely walk. . The Hotel previously known as James Hotel has the quaintest lift and central heating in San Diego. Both work well- albeit the lift is slow to kick off

Great Price and Location. The hotel was well kept and the staff was great. The old elevator was fun for the first time. Valet parking was a problem. It took an hour one morning to get my car. Overall a great place to stay in the Gaslamp if you like "old Hotel" charm. My only suggestion is to be prepared to add time for the elevator/valet if you are in a hurry.

Brians' Eatery & Drinkery restaurant serves hearty-size portions with the highest quality ingredients at reasonable prices.
As you enjoy pancakes, eggs, French toast, bacon, sausage and other dishes served by Chef Michael on the counter of the Joan Crawford Bar, in the restaurant (yes, it came from the movie star's own home!) be sure to look for the high-heel holes where the movie star danced the night away on this historic bar in her home in Italy.
