Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room furnitures are arranged poorly. Sofa bed block the toilet and there is no space and we have to jump over the bed. There is no complimentary toilet bag and we need to call front desk but they don’t provide the front desk number so we have to go on elevator every time we need front desk. Sheets don’t seem freshly cleaned. We needed to wash baby clothes but it needed 32 quarters and front desk again said they couldn’t help!

The hotel was nice but the bathroom in our room smelled terrible. It was as if someone had just dropped a huge load and walked out. There was TP still in the toilet. As we were enjoying some on the best pizza we've ever had from Bronk's Pizza (get the calzone!), a massive spider was spotted crawling on the ceiling. Given the fact that our bathroom had been destroyed by an employee (I'm assuming since they clean in right before we get there) we had to take matters into our own hands. After risking my life and playing exterminator, the threat was neutralized and I was able to once again, enjoy my pizza. Breakfast was a 4.8 out of 10.

All that you look for in a hotel and top service
This hotel is as good as it gets. They have great service across the board from the front desk to the shuttle people. All are friendly and actively helpful. On top of this they are gifted with a great location for the pier from which our cruise left. One of the most problem free hotels we'd ever been at in this mix of hotel and pier. They also shuttle you to local area restaurants that are great. And we were able to keep our vehicle there for the time we were on our cruise until we got back. Perfect.

Unexpectedly great service!
We were so very pleasantly surprised at the service we received. Elia, the driver who picked us up at the airport, offered to take us to dinner and pick us up, bc there was no restaurant close by. We felt this was above & beyond normal service. They couldn’t have been nicer!

First time stying here for a 2 day 1 night trip. We went to Seaworld, only 8 minutes away from the hotel. Then at night we went over for some dinner in Little Italy, also 8 minutes away. Great location! Everything is close by. The hotel was very clean and in great condition. They have a complimentary breakfast bar in the morning! Great way to start the day. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to another San Diego trip.

I flew into San Diago from London and as a female traveler, I needed a safe, accessible, good value for money hotel that provided shuttle service. This hotel did not disappoint. The facilities are excellent and the staff courteous and helpful. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms clean. I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for international travelers.

Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, bed super comfortable. Right next to highway but good soundproofing so did not affect my sleep. Free shuttle to Old Town and to airport—both timely and easy to schedule. I loved my stay here !!
