Ramada Inn in Downtown’s Historic Gaslamp Quarter

An excellent recommendation in the Gaslamp Quarter is the 99-room Ramada Inn & Suites (21) at 830 Sixth Ave. (from $99) (619-531-8877). This historic landmark, which was built in 1913, offers beautifully decorated rooms, modern conveniences and is just steps from all the action. For a sensational city and harbor view, ask for a room or suite on the 8th, 9th or 10th floors. Their rooftop terrace offers a spectacular panoramic view of the city, as well. Also located here is Brian’s 24 Restaurant and a convenient 24-hour business center with free high-speed wireless Internet.
