Cosmopolitan Hotel

We loved the quirkyness of the historic building, the location was excellent and the staff were great.

The hotel was a vision. It has been beautifully restored and maintained. I heard people say it's like staying in a museum and they couldn't be more right. Dee is a wonderful manager and started off our anniversary weekend in the most charming way. We made our trip all about Old Town and walked everywhere. It was a great way to really soak in the rich history of the area. Beds were incredibly comfortable!

Dee is an absolute PLEASURE to deal with. He is so knowledgeable about the property. We came in on a very late flight and he sent me a message with step by step directions on how to get in and get to my room! My husband and I were only in town for the day and we didn’t rent a car as we were just going to explore old town and he even allowed us to keep our suitcase at the hotel so we could look around without having to lug it. The room with the wooden tub was gorgeous. If you have the chance to stay here, do it!

Besides the amazing history and paranormal activity from the moment we stepped foot on the property we were greeted by Dee the manager who was the kindest most welcoming hotel manager I’ve ever had. He took the time to answer all of my 9 year olds questions about the ghost encounters, history and other stories. The grounds are peaceful, only 10 rooms so you don’t encounter too many people when there, we stayed in room 4/5 which was great, everything old and authentic, no tvs! Super big and comfy bed. The wrap around porch on the hotel overlooks the shops and restaurants of old town San Diego. Breakfast is included, it’s a light breakfast. Bagels, muffins, cereal, yogurt, coffee and juices. We experienced some paranormal activity in our room, lights flickering, orbs in photos, heard foot steps on the porch at 1 am and no one was there, heard a little girl laughing at the same time.

The hotel is so cute. It's mostly original. The rooms are decorated in period decor, but the amenities are new. The bed was SO soft and comfortable. Our room had an old copper bathtub the size of a car! haha My daughter and I took a huge hot bath, almost like being in a hot tub. The hotel is right in the center of old town. We could walk to so much fun stuff. It was so nice to just have everything right there: candle making, candy shop, delicious Mexican restaurants, etc. There isn't a TV in the room, but there is wifi, so we just watched our phones at night. There is parking right in front. Dee, the manager was so nice and accommodating. We loved the experience of staying in this old hotel. So much more memorable than your standard hotel!
