  • Nice clean rooms. Free use of the in room refrigerator. Free morning breakfast.
  • Air conditioning in room worked well but was occasionally loud and woke me up.

“Good location close to gas lamp night life. Easy to walk home from a night out. Clean, comfortable rooms with free access to fridge in rooms. Great place to stay for a reasonable price.”

  • Clean rooms, great air, comfy beds, extra pillows already there, 4 blocks to Horton Plaza.
  • Hallways hot, small round about to unload stuff in, parking lot is cheap, but far away, need to get luggage out in round about.

“Great for a weekend traveler. We were there to see a Padres game and bop around the town the next day. There this old man who drives a big van, he'll take you anywhere in the city for only a tip, he is employed by the hotel, he was fabulous (cheap). Walking: hotel is 4 block from Horton Plaza, and 8 blocks from Padres stadium. The hotel air is super cold. Had all amenities, shampoo, extra towels & pillows already there and marked firm soft, coffee was great, had a mini fridge which was quite cold, also on Sunday morning I sat outside on our balcony to watch the San Diego Marathon go by, only caught a glimpse, but really nice to sit and relax and enjoy my am cafe. Parking is tricky, unload while in the hotel round about, parking structure is block 1/2 away.”

  • There were a lot of people in town for comic con and the hotel personnel did a great job helping everyone.
  • No water in the pool.

“All in all it was a great place to stay just a little far from where we wanted but still within walking distance. Very clean, staff was very nice, nice view of the downtown and partial bay, parking was a little hard for bigger cars. Had a great time.”

  • The hotel was very clean. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic.
  • Pool was small and not working. Would have liked to have known this before. Had to pay extra for parking, for their facility.

“Overall our stay at the hotel was good. The continental breakfast was excellent. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the hotel was very clean. Rooms were a good size. The negative side was that the pool was small and was not working. Would have liked to have known this before hand.”

  • Downtown location.
  • The weekend functions downstairs. Really noisy.

“The staff was really helpful in changing us from the room right next to the ice machine; however, the Sat. night party downstairs was really noisy. The weekend crowd noise outside the hotel made it really lousy stay for Sat. night.”

  • Friendly staff, enjoyed the balcony.
  • The parking garage was difficult for a compact car. The smell of the carpet cleaner on the halls was a put-off.

“We enjoyed our stay of 2 days. Great staff. Although the swimming pool was empty, repairs were being made. We loved the balcony. Very convenient. We walked to restaurants, the Mall, public transportation near by. Good location.”
