I have just returned from a week at the Gaslamp Plaza and felt I needed to share this information with others who may be considering this location.
It is in a great location, however if you are not a sound sleeper, it is very loud at night. Because of the downtown location, there are people wandering throughout the hotel and there is no security to prevent someone from entering. From 11 pm - 7 am the doors are locked, but any other time, anyone can enter.
We had items stolen from our room while we were out for supper one evening. So make sure you take your valuables with you!!!! Then the most disappointing part about this is that the hotel would take no responsibilty for it. I had spoke to another couple who had items stolen from their room the previous week.
The items can be replaced, but it was a terrible feeling to know someone had entered our room.
This hotel is also very old and the rooms are very small.

Well, I don't know where to start. First off, the hotel is beautiful and in a great location. However, my first two nights were spent in a studio which was ONE tiny room. The glass door (with some type of clouded glass and curtain) was right in front of my bed. I was scared. I was traveling alone on business, and I opened the closet door to hide half of the glass door, stacked my suitcase next to that, and then piled pillow on top of pillow to prevent anyone from peeking in. Now, I really don't think that anyone could have peeked in, but I was paranoid. Plus there was a window, but again, it had this weird glass and there was nothing but an alley with no light/ceiling whatsoever.

The rooftop was incredible. I went up there every morning for the continental breakfast. They also finally, after two nights, moved me up to a larger studio on the 8th floor (albeit I did have to pay more).

The staff was very nice. I did wonder about the security, especially since I went to the lower lobby one night to get a soda...and couldn't figure out what/who/what/why the club room doors were for.

The whole gaslamp area is beautiful, but it is full of homeless people. They really don't bother you, but again, being alone on business, I was sort of scared.

All in all, it is a beautiful hotel, although DO NOT GET A Studio on 204, 304, 504, 404 or 604. Other than that, I'm sure it is great. My new studio was actually two rooms with lots of mirros which were great to control my claustrophobia.

stayed one night (although booked for four), and left due to noise from street.

Although had requested higher floor at time of booking in August 2007 to avoid noise, was given room on 2nd floor. At check-in asked again for higher floor, but none available.

After one noisy night (music from local club from 8 pm to 12:30 am on Thursday night, and flags whipping against building) again asked for higher floor but again none available, so went to other nearby hotel and slept fine for rest of stay.

Other than noise, room was fine, well-appointed with mini-fridge, microwave, plates, bowls, cups, glasses, cutlery. Staff were friendly. The free continental breakfast was basic, but quantity good.

(Wished we could have stayed on a higher floor; it might have been quieter?)

The Location is awesome. Within walking distance to all restaurants and bars with great entertainment. We had a one bedroom suite on the third floor with a magnificent view of the strip. The Gas Lamp Plaza Suites a very lovely hotel. Very well kept. We ate at the Dakota Grill and the food was delicious. We were also given a ten dollar discount on the back of our room key. To top off our awesome anniversary weekend at the Gas Lamp Plaza Suites was i had left behind my $250 ipod. I was so bummed when i got home. I call the lost and found and left my info. The next morning Shaun called me and told me that Lupe Moreno had turned in my ipod. They will be shipping it to me by fed ex. I can not ask for a better anniversary weekend.Thank you so much "Gas Lamp Suites" You made my anniversary one to always "remember". I will definitely come back over and over and over again. First class place and first class people.
