This hotel has no parking and finding parking in downtown san diego can be very challenging if you dont plan ahead. It is very difficult to find on there site that they do not have parking, so we showed up without booking parking and made our weekend start off very poorly as we had to park 2.5 miles away and pay $50.

excellent, central location. staff was super friendly. room was the perfect size and offered all needed amenities. Only thing would be parking was a bit of a hassle as there is none, but nothing too serious. just have to come to terms that it will be busy during the weekend as it's in the center of the gaslamp.

Convenient location but very annoying if you have a car to park, especially if you arrive during a baseball game and there is limited parking in the garages nearby. They need to offer valet to guests to make this place worth it. I chose it because of the cost, but ended up spending $90 to park for one night about 1/2 mile away. Wouldn’t stay again because of that.

Definitely booking again.

This hotel is very conveniently located in the Gaslight District of San Diego and within walking distance of the Convention Center as qell as Petco Park. The hotel is very clean and the customer service was stellar. They put effort into making you comfortable. The rooms are really clean and well maintained. They have excellent attention to detail that adds to their services toward their customers, such as bath robes, shower amenities, free water and beverages, as well as goodies for a pup, since they are pet friendly.

Staypineapple, Hotel Z is conveniently located, with may restaurants nearby and about a 10-min walk to the San Diego Convention Center. I stayed two nights and service to the room is only after the second night, so I did not experience it. My room was small, especially considering that part of the square footage was a non-useful entryway. The wifi worked well, but the desk was very small and crowded with coffee maker, etc. The bathroom was large and well-equipped..

Overall we enjoyed our 5 night stay. Location, service and cleanliness were all very good. Great water pressure in the shower. However, the bedding was too hot for us and we couldn't use the air conditioning as it was extremely loud and blew straight into your face while lying in bed. That meant we sweltered at night and couldn't get a good night's sleep. The hotel should really consider a different style of air conditioning as the units are too bulky and loud for the smallish rooms.

Booked a suite for $350 and really disapointed at how small the room was. They gave us a room right by the elevator which we heard all night long. Some sort of fight broke out on our floor, I believe the police were called. Noisy upstairs above our room. Overall didn't feel this was worth the price.

The hotel was wonderful, very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is great, it's right in the middle of the Gas Lamp district so it's super convenient for restaurants and shopping, and it's within walking distance to Seaport Village and the USS Midway Museum. Being in the center of all that made it a bit noisy at night, though, so I did have to sleep with earplugs, but the noise seemed to be people in the streets.

Pineapple Z is located perfectly allowing you to walk to anything near Petco park or the Convention Center. The hotel staff are very inviting and friendly, fast response times for requests and definitely have a sense of urgency, looking to help in any way possible. It should be noted if you haven't been around the homeless population much or aren't comfortable, the element is there. The San Diego police patrol is ever present and we had no issues. Anything you want is within walking distance or an easy hop on the metro.

Unfortunately we arrived in the late afternoon on a day the Padres were playing. It made finding a place to unload and park more difficult. It cost me an extra $80 to park my car for less than 2 days. No restaurant was not a problem, but breakfast Saturday & Sunday set us back another $100. So budget extra money above your room cost for the pleasure of staying there. Everything else was fine.
