• Right in the Gas lamp Quarter and across the street from the Convention Center.
• Walls are thin and I was by an elevator.

“This hotel is elegantly decorated and the staff are helpful. It seemed small, but there were some nice public spaces. Staff was helpful, but check-in can be problematic if you have a car.”

• I loved where it was located, overlooked a dog park and train tracks that my 2 year old could watch.
• At first, I was not pleased as to the area I had chosen, I thought I was going to be closer to the beach but it was wonderful.

“The hotel is located walking distance from a lot of places to eat and if you want to, drink. We had our 2 year old with us but we were able to find places to eat and could enjoy frozen yogurt and icecream after dinner almost every night! The beaches are all fairly close and we could get directions from any number of people who worked there. We enjoyed our stay very much.”

• Beautiful and great location.
• Did not like that they overbook rooms. After 7 hours of driving did not want to be diverted.

“Hotel was great. Night staff was not polite. They had one person that did not speak very good English and the other one was very cold and bossy.”

• Location. Close to baseball, restaurants, Coronado Beach, Zoo, Sea World, etc.
• Front desk staff was not friendly.

“Catered more for business travelers or couples without children; however, it is close to all major attractions in San Diego (Convention Center, Baseball Stadium, Zoo, Sea World, Coronado Beaches, etc). If you are traveling with kids and plan to visit attractions (i.e.: spend little time in the room).”

• Clean rooms, nice restaurant.
• Amtrak train is directly adjacent, and made a lot of noise at 3 am.

“Very nice hotel with good facilities. As noted, only problem is that it is directly adjacent to railroad tracks, and train roared by, with loud honking, at 3 am.”

• The location is great - across street from convention center and within blocks of great restaurants and bars.
• The staff was not overly friendly, the pool and hot tub were less than 4-star quality, and bathroom in room was very small.

“The location of the hotel is wonderful - directly across the street from convention center and harbor and located close to many restaurants. However, this was not up to the 4-star rating compared to other hotels in the area. The lobby is very nice, but the pool area was a huge disappointment.”

• Location, and that is it!
• Rooms do not show value of cost.

“The rooms where small and claustrophobic. The bathroom was generic with an unusable bathtub. Hotel had no parking, only offered valet which was priced extremely high. Only good thing was the location. Heart of downtown San Diego.”

• The bed was super comfortable and the room was very nice.
• The front desk check in person was the rudest person I have ever encountered in the hotel business.

“My first impression was very poor. We had just driven 7 hours and were very tired. The woman who checked me in asked for my name. Never made eye contact, never smiled or greeted me. Asked for my credit card and license. I was so tired that I did not say anything. I just went up to my room which was a pleasant surprise. If I based my stay on the first impression, I would never stay there again. But everyone else was nice and helpful, so I chalked it up to her having a bad day. She should be fired.”

• I loved the openness of the outdoor lounge areas. Very beautiful!
• The bathtub drain was broken. Mirror light was broken too.

“The bathtub drain was broken. We couldn't take a bath which was very disappointing since it was our wedding anniversary. The light for the magnifying mirror was also broken. When we told the lady at the front desk, all she said was that's unfortunate. It was disappointing that they just let customers leave with an unpleasant experience. It's too bad because I love referring people to great hotels.”

• Within walking distance of Lamplight district.
• Noisy and next to train tracks.

“The hotel was nice and clean. The downside is that only valet parking is available at $32 and a kind of pricey. Also it was noisy because of the loud trains throughout the day and night, which made it hard to sleep.”

• Location.
• Hair on bathroom floor and toilet, shower curtain broken, and thin walls.

“This hotel has an amazing location, being close to Petco park, tons of restaurants and bars, and the convention center. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would still not rate this hotel a 4 star hotel, as the room was not completely clean upon checking in. There was hair all over the bathroom, and the shower curtain was busted. I could also hear my neighbors getting it on, and they weren't even that loud!”

• Check in staff particularly helpful. Other staff very good too.
• Close to tram/train lines so slightly noisy especially at night. No fridge/mini bar in room.

“Great location, wonderful helpful staff. Spotlessly clean with comfortable beds and well equipped rooms and bathrooms. The sounds of occasional trams and trains at night was a little disturbing but you soon get used to it! Would definitely stay here again.”

• The hotel staff was amazingly helpful and friendly!
• The $32 valet parking fee that is a requirement, not an option.

“This hotel was beautiful! The decor was modern, yet warm and soothing. The room was large with a large bathroom as well. The staff was prompt and attentive. Any time we needed anything, it was brought right away. Our room had a great view of downtown San Diego.”
