• Hated everything especially person at the front desk.
• Hated this experience.

“ When I arrived at hotel they tried to make up surcharges equally 150% of the price. Not helpful or considerate, false advertising. I was unable to stay in the room. ”

• Good Breakfast Selection and Hotel Location.
• VERY small room.

“Staff was friendly. Exterior was nice. Hotel room was NOT what I expected. Be prepared for a VERY small space and no AC. Booked knowing it was not 5-star.. but I did think the sink would be located in a bathroom, not next to my bed! Good thing I only stayed one night.”

• Very friendly staff, clean hotel, excellent breakfast, and pretty room.
• Very hard uncomfortable bed and rollaway. Had to pay $16 night to park in hotel's own parking lot!

“Clean hotel and very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast! However, very hard and uncomfortable bed and rollaway bed. Expect to pay a lot to park in hotel's own parking lot. Surprisingly quiet considering downtown location.”

• In room features were very good as was the provided breakfast and airport connections.
• Nothing to report.

“Although a small hotel it was very well managed and very clean. Services provided were more than adequate for our needs. Even services that were not provided on site were provided by other means - eg. vouchers for gym down the street and paid taxi service to the airport.”

• I loved that they had candy at the front desk, Starbucks and tea in the rooms with flavored creamers.
• It's hard to find parking in downtown San Diego but valet was nice just expensive.

“This hotel was friendly, clean, and in a great location. I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were very roomy and so were the bathrooms.”

• Friendly staff, clean facilities and a great workout room.

“This hotel has a great location in the heart of the Gaslamp, just walking distance to the Convention center. This hotel has a great location. Soleil @ K is an excellent choice for dining at any hour. The workout facilities are the best of any hotel I have stayed at with clean and modern equipment and a breathtaking view of downtown San Diego. I highly Recommend.”

• Vicinity to the civic center.
• The air conditioning was not working and it was hot and muggy.

“Hotel was conveniently located to downtown but the room was very small and the air conditioning was not working. Room was hot and humidity was high. Not too happy with the hotel. We mentioned it to the manager and he tried to find us another room (very helpful) but it was too late as we were leaving rather early the next morning. All his engineering staff had left and they couldn't fix the AC.”

• Lots of drunks roaming the halls due to the upstairs bar-NOT kid friendly.

“Close to the action-Ballpark view and Gas lamp accessible, but the younger, rowdy crowd made it a less than enjoyable stay.”

• Very nice. Very good housekeeping and helpful staff.
• No pool, expensive valet - only parking ($30/night).

“Very nice. It's just a step away from the Petco Park entrance. I even had a partial view of the ball field from my east facing room. The Gas lamp District doesn't seem to be a great place to stay with kids. Walking around wasn't that pleasant, but walking up and down the stairs at the convention center, a couple of blocks away, was fun. The area is probably more suited to the adults - only crowd and ok with kids. Lots of restaurants nearby. Parking is valet-only at $30/night and includes in and out privileges. No pool. Two beds are double only, but are very comfy. Very upscale bathroom decor. They do have VIP floors and 21 and 22. Elevators are secured by card keys for floors 10 and above.”

• Its location was perfect from exploring the Gaslamp District.
• No pool.

“The accommodations were great. Our room was very comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly. In fact I would recommend this hotel to people based on the friendliness of the staff alone. The rooftop bar was cool. The only drawback was that they did not have a pool. The location as also great for exploring the Gaslamp District. I would stay hear again and I would recommend this hotel to friends.”

• Great service, very helpful staff.
• $30 per day parking, no pool.

“This hotel is very clean and luxurious. It is in the center of the Gas lamp Quarter, where you can find fine dining and night clubbing. If staying on the weekend, you will also find lines of people waiting to gain entrance to the rooftop bar. The hotel manages these people very well, though. There is a parking garage across the street to park in that does not allow free in/out privileges. So, if you plan on using your vehicle, you must use the hotel's $30/day valet service (tips not included). Also, I was disappointed to find out there was no pool.”

• The location is all this place has to offer.
• Every thing was bad except for the location.

“Understandably the rooms are very small. I am used to traveling so that is ok. What is not ok was that the bathroom sink is not in the bathroom but its located next to the bed. So you are washing your face, brushing your teeth, etc. in the bedroom for anyone else in the room to watch and be in the way. Additionally, the toilet ran all night, the air conditioner was on full blast, it still couldn't get the room below 75 degrees and it made a really loud clicking noise. The pillows are the size of a sheet of paper and you only get two. So between the toilet, the AC and the pillows I had a horrible nights sleep. Honestly a Motel 6 would have been nicer.”

• Very clean and decorated with premium furnishings.
• Floor was very sloped, making us almost sick when in the room.

“The hotel was very nice and elegantly decorated. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Our only complaint was the fact that the floor sloped very bad. So much so that when laying in bed, the TV was crooked on the entertainment center. Walking into the room, you almost felt sea sick or like you were in a funny house since the floor sloped so much. Overall though, it was a very nice hotel. Only option for parking was $30 a day for valet, not the most convenient.”

• Extra for parking and internet, no pool.

“A nice place, the beds were great, but having to pay extra for the internet and the parking. No pool either. ( Also we were 2 rooms away from the elevators & it still sounded like a Subway train was going through our room, they are very loud, going up and down from the fancy bar on the top floor till 2 AM. Nice place. Food was good downstairs & if you are looking for a great fish & chips, go to Tin Fish, down the street, by the trolley cars. Amazing fish tacos!”

• It was average, the shower barely worked.
• The shower barely worked, you could hardly see the TV when in bed because it was on the floor.

“Rude at check in, waited 10-20 minutes for the car at valet when we called from our room to have the car brought up prior to check out. When you turned on the shower it was very hard and made loud noises and not all the water would come out the shower head, it still filled up the bath tub. Bathroom door was like a pocket door and wouldn't stay shut. No privacy. The TV was down low with the bed up high, so when laying in bed you couldn't see TV through the bed. Rude at check in, but they were courteous and helpful with people around us but for us it was here is your room key, bye. Not friendly at all. Very disappointing. Wouldn't stay here again. We expressed a few concerns at check out and was told oh we know, that's nice, that's just how it is with the TV's, showers and with no privacy in the bathroom.”

• The staff was very accommodating!
• The elevators are very loud! We couldn't sleep in our first room!

“It's a very nice hotel right across from Petco Park. There's a great roof top deck for cocktails and appetizers, but kids can't go up there, so we didn't get to use it. In the middle of the night, we realized that the terribly loud noise we could hear coming and going every minute or so, was the elevator! An engineer came up to our room to confirm it, and they put us in a different room. For the inconvenience, the manager compensate us a very nice breakfast in the restaurant downstairs. It made up for the noise, but we were pretty tired the next day. I would stay there again, but only if they could put me in a room away from the elevators. We also dined in the restaurant for dinner, and it was great!”

• Nice hotel, people were very friendly.
• Did not like the valet parking situation. Very busy and difficult to transfer items and children at leisure.

“This is a great hotel if you did not have to drive a car. There's a lot of places to walk within distance for food. Unfortunately, we had a car and having it valet park was a hassle because the street was busy at times and it made it difficult for unpacking many items plus young children. I worried about where my everything was going and where my children were standing.”

• All about location. Direct view of Petco park, shopping and restaurants abound. Luxury feel. Self park across street or valet. Luxury feel.
• Bathroom counter a bit small, and one sink. TV is flat screen but a bit too low for good view from bed.

“Luxury feel. Would stay here again if given option. Immediate check-in, wonderful room. Great bedding, wonderful work space for a business traveler. Room amenities offer personal coffee pot, hair dryer, iron/iron board. Only minor issue is not much bathroom counter space and one sink, also a pocket door to bathroom that does not lock (for those with families). TV was a great flat screen but a bit low to view from bed - (had to move feet to see). Our 19th floor room faced Petco Park and San Diego Padres had a night game and could see the field and watch live on TV. Nice surprise. Parking was very easy. Option to valet park, however since we would be coming and going opted to self park directly across hotel entrance for $17/24 hours with in-out privilege. Parking elevator is right across from hotel entrance; easier than a surface lot and car is in shade. Shopping, music, theatre and restaurants abound in this area and all walking distance. Seaport Village a bit longer of 4-6 blocks away. Would drive as may have bags to carry upon return.”
