Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. While the room was small, the balcony offered a great view of downtown, though it came with a steep price tag.
The hotel is very modern and clean, with spacious and comfortable rooms. The service was professional and pleasing, although there was a small issue with water. The location is excellent for public transport and walking to bars and restaurants, yet there were some noise disturbances. Dining options were somewhat limited, with a pricey parfait, but included healthy choices like salmon. Overall, the hotel offers a great value for money despite minor setbacks.
The hotel's central location was perfect for exploring downtown San Diego and was convenient for various attractions. The rooms were a mix of clean and cozy but lacked character and comfort. The service was consistently helpful and accommodating with various amenities available. The dining options were limited, particularly challenging for diverse tastes. Although the pool area had limited sun exposure, the overall facilities met basic needs.
The hotel is wonderfully located right in downtown San Diego, near the trolley station and surrounded by plenty of shopping options. The rooms were a bit small for the price, but the early check-in was a nice touch. Service was exceptional, especially from the Housekeeping Staff who made us feel like VIPs. The location is excellent for exploring the city, although there were some minor issues with cleanliness in the room. The dining options were satisfactory, although some items seemed overpriced. Overall, a good value for the money spent.
I have mixed feelings about this hotel. While the location is exceptional with easy access to transport, the basic rooms and lack of dining choices left something to be desired. The service was remarkable, but there were some inconsistencies.
I had a great time at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean with a spectacular view from large windows. The pool area was fantastic, although the pool bar wasn't open during my stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, making me feel special.
