Property was great. Staff were very friendly and nice. Property was clean and safe. Check in was fast and the breakfast was great. Hospitality staff went above and beyond with my daughter’s eggs and didn’t make her fill like she was being picky. Overall great experience and plan to stay there again when in San Diego.

Upon arrival, we were SHOCKED that there was a fee to park our rental car. This fee is $18/DAY that comes out of an additional deposit (after booking and upon arrival) of $200. Disappointed there was no continental breakfast. We needed a walk in shower for a guest limited to a wheelchair and the first room assigned to us did not meet this request. The beds were all TERRIBLE. When I asked the front desk why the mattresses were rock hard, she said it was because there was less support in these rooms since the mattresses needed to be lower for “handicaps”. We left two nights early and stayed elsewhere because of how uncomfortable we were! We were not offered a refund for the last two nights either. My mom, who is wheelchair bound is making a complaint to the ADA regarding her experience as well.

While the hotel is clean and nice, the flush in the toilet had constant issues. I fixed it myself, we spoke to the reception and she offered to change our room or give us complementary breakfast, we opted for the latter but on showing up at the restaurant they did not honor this commitment mentioning no more record of the complementary breakfast being provided. That felt a bit insulting considering we had to deal with all of this.

This hotel is in a decent location and central to a lot of San Diego. It is a little over due for a cosmetic refresh, but not dirty or poorly maintained. The biggest gripe I have this that they charge you $18 a night for parking considering there is nothing near this hotel that can be accessed by foot and a car is really your only option to get around this charge is borderline extortion. It’s not like they don’t have a giant parking lot either. Definitely something that should be factored into room cost.

Comfortable stay

The hotel was clean but definitely needed maintenance throughout. Room was clean with a nice view but beds were not super comfortable. Hotel bar staff were great. Starbucks lacked a little and the breakfast was not worth $20
