About

Hotel Occidental works best for budget-conscious travelers who value kitchenettes and a central downtown location over luxury polish. This converted 1920s historic building once housed a movie theater and later a WWII hospital. Every suite has a private kitchenette, and no two rooms are alike. The property offers free wifi and bike access to nearby attractions like Balboa Park.

Hours are limited: Monday and Friday 11am-4pm, Wednesday 11am-5pm. The Gaslamp Quarter and convention center are within walking distance. Keep expectations measured given the 2.5 Yelp rating, but you'll get a reliable kitchenette and a unique room layout.
