History
On May 19, 2008 a natural gas leak caused an explosion that injured 14 construction workers and damaged four floors on the unfinished hotel.[5]
Design
The 30-story tower hotel features 1,190 guest rooms and more than 165,000 square feet (15,300 m2) of meeting space.[6] A skybridge connects the parking garage to a crosswalk that goes to Petco Park and the Gaslamp Quarter.
During the summer of 2019, the hotel completed a $23 million guest room and suite renovation inspired by maritime culture with modern ease. [6]
