Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were better than expected, although the overall property was not impressive. The rooms were spacious but lacked in decoration, with only a small TV and fridge. The noise level made it difficult to sleep at times, but the size of the room was a positive aspect.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms had all the facilities we needed, but some equipment seemed outdated. The service was friendly, but we faced some key card issues during our stay. The location was convenient, with eateries nearby, but we experienced an evacuation in the middle of the night. The dining options were subpar with unclear breakfast offerings. Overall, the value for money was decent, considering the good location.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, especially the upgraded one I received later in the day, were cleaner and more modern. However, requesting an extra blanket proved to be a challenge as they were not readily available. On the downside, the chaotic situation late at night with guests unable to access their rooms was concerning, although the staff's attempt to handle it was appreciated.
The hotel has its ups and downs. The rooms are spacious and cater well to guests, but they need a deep cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. The service is a mixed bag - from quick help with key cards to chaotic situations during emergencies. The location is convenient for various attractions but suffers from maintenance issues like scratching car wires. The dining experience falls short despite the promise of free breakfast. Overall, it's a place with potential but lacking in some crucial areas.
The hotel's location is central to San Diego attractions, offering convenience to various popular spots. The rooms, despite some issues with cleanliness, exceeded our expectations, considering the overall hotel quality. The positive aspects were the friendly staff and convenient location, while cleanliness was a concern.
