Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Staypineapple, Hotel Z, Gaslamp San Diego offers pet-friendly accommodation in San Diego. San Diego International Airport is just 4 km from the property.

Each room at this hotel features a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Select rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. All rooms come with a private bathroom equipped with a shower that includes guest bath robes and free toiletries. Luckily I was allocated a room that did not face the street, so it was quite quiet. I travelled for a conference and stayed 5 nights in the hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was a good size, the location near the Convention Center was very convenient.

It was a besutiful place, we stayed in a little house wich was part of the B&B and had a delicious chinese breakfast in the morning. The view from the house werefantastic. There were many seals in the bay and we saw a kolibri, pelikans and birds of pray. There is a little beach were you can walk and take a swim. The water was very old but we liked it because there were a lot of curious seals around us looking at us.
