Reviews about William Penn Hotel

  Many homeless people sleeping on the sidewalk surrounding the entrance. Parking always an issue. My room was quite. Very little or no street noise. Felt the rate was too high for the overall experience.

  We stayed at William Penn in San Diego for 10 days in a studio suite on the 4th floor. We knew the elevator in this very old building would probably not be working prior to our arrival, so we were prepared for that. However, after arriving and hauling our luggage up to the 4th floor, we discovered that we had been given the wrong entry code into the suite. So, then we had to wait to hear back from customer service with the correct code.
  
  Prior to our arrival, we emailed to see if we could at least put our bags in the suite before the 4:00 pm check-in time, since our flight was arriving earlier than that. We never did get a response from them until AFTER we had already checked in.
  
  Almost every morning while we were there, they were working on the elevator. You can just imagine the sound that is made when a hammer is constantly banging on steel! And, this process usually started before 8:00 am!
  
  Ear plugs were supplied, which was a PLUS, because you really needed them. The William Penn is over bars and night clubs in the Gaslamp District, and all you hear until the wee hours of the morning is loud music and people partying. We would definitely NOT recommend this place to a middle-aged couple, older couple, or a family with children. This place is perfect for the young who just want to party and then crash at 3:00 am.
  
  We never did figure out how to operate the dishwasher. It started OK, but never did a wash cycle...
  
  It wasn't all bad. They did provide dish soap and laundry soap, so we didn't have to buy that - not every place supplies those things. The bathroom was particularly nice; very large, and clean.
  
  We travel a lot through VRBO, but this was our first experience using Sonder. We probably will not use them again.
