Liked the restaurant, Postcards. The air con was working well! The fridge was working great! Didn't like the paid parking when the gates were open all the time. The laundry room was messy and trash was all over the floor. Smelled bad too.
Pros (+) Well Kept Buildings & Grounds Nice Rooms Excellent room service breakfast delivered right on time (order the night before on doorknob hanger)
Cons (-) Could use more shelf space in bathroom for toiletries
Pros (+) I liked all the amenities. There was a hair salon, aa bar and other shopping inside the hotel. Bed was really comfortable and it was a beautiful room.
Cons (-) The bar closed to early as well as the munchie shop in the main lobby.
Pros (+) check-in and check out was smooth and done in quick order. Room was clean and well furnished Pool area, jacuzzi and fitness room clean and good presentation. Best point was there were no "hidden" charge on bill, i.e., safe in room, mini-bar, etc., when checking out
Cons (-) nothing
Pros (+) It was in San Diego! So tried not to spend too much time inside the room. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The front desk staff were helpful and pleasant.
Cons (-) Terrible Internet connection in my room - though wifi was free. Bad location - stranded on the side of a highway, where only food option is the hotel's restaurant, which consistently served the average & overpriced food at room temperature. Restaurant staff was disorganized and not helpful - waited for my check for half an hour every time. Smelled musty/smoky - just older and kind of run down plac...

Pros (+) Beds were comfortable. Air conditioner in each room worked well. Staff were friendly, and was able to check in early. Food was okay.
Cons (-) The room smelled of mildew. One banquet the grapes were moldly.
Pros (+) We arrived late at night and left early for a flight. For our purpose it was great.
Pros (+) Location is close to everything. It's a great middle point for a lot of the downtown, Point Loma, Beach, Zoo, Trendy bars and restaurants. Fridge in the room
Cons (-) Was given 2 double beds for a romantic weekend. They didn't have any queens. Bathrooms are tiny and literally have no counter space. Walls are paper thin. I could hear the room next to us at 3am having sex as clear as day. For $150 a night, I don't expect the Taj Mahal, but I expect to have privacy and not hear these things.
Pros (+) The manager was nice and treated us to breakfast for all our unconvince at the end of our trip
Cons (-) Nothing in the room was working... Fridge was hot, toilet sink was clogged, and shower head was broken. The room is wayyyyy smaller than it looks in picture, it was very rowdy in there as there was a motorcycle club there and they were outside by the pool extremely loud and hotel did nothing about it. Would not stay there again.
