Great stay! We visited with our adult children, staying in two rooms. Fabulous location, fun vibe, complementary drink on arrival, free use of bikes, staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our stay, couldn’t ask for more. Would totally recommend a pineapple stay!

My wife and I had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we checked in, Allan at the front desk made us feel so welcome. He was kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed to feel comfortable. Honestly, it felt like catching up with an old friend. The rest of the staff was just as incredible. Everyone we interacted with was warm, accommodating, and genuinely seemed to care about making my stay enjoyable. It’s rare to find that level of hospitality, and it really stood out to me. The hotel itself was cozy and fun, but what made my stay unforgettable was the people. We left feeling like more than just a guest, we felt truly cared for. Thank you, Allan, and everyone at Hotel Z. We can’t wait to come back. Read less

Loved this small boutique hotel in San Diego Gaslamp. Would definitely stay again. LOVED the unique doors to each room. Cute. And great waitstaff. Online, they also responded very quickly. It is also very close to everything we wanted to do in Gaslamp.

I had the best check in, check out, and best service throughout my stay. My first time at this hotel and it’s a beauty. Clean, central of everything, and the employees are just amazing! I hope this message reaches out to Aaron, Melissa, and I believe Lou Lou ? I appreciate chatting with you all and I will be back soon!
