Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located in downtown San Diego, a short distance to the zoo and the harbor area. The rooms are spacious and modern, but the unnecessary drab furniture was a drawback. The service was excellent, offering car hire and tours/ticket assistance. The onsite Bistro provided delicious dining options. However, the price for some amenities seemed a bit high.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right next to the Gaslamp area and close to the Convention Centre. The room was beautifully designed with a lovely basin in the bedroom, offering fantastic views. The bed was so comfortable, and the shower was amazing. The service was top-notch, with car hire available and helpful tours/ticket assistance. However, the dining experience with only small dishes was a bit limited. Overall, great value for money!
The hotel is conveniently located in downtown San Diego, making it easy to explore the Gas Lamp area and other attractions. The rooms need updating when it comes to linens, but the comfortable bed and nice view make up for it. The service was excellent overall, and the facilities were satisfactory. However, the dining options were limited, and the stay could be more valuable for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fabulous, right on Broadway and close to the convention center, but the linens in the room definitely needed an update. The double bed was cozy, and the view from the room was lovely, but the bed itself was just average in terms of comfort.
The hotel is conveniently located in downtown San Diego, fairly close to everything. The rooms are well-designed with unique basin in the bedroom, but they could use better linens. The service was good, offering car hire and tours/ticket assistance. The dining was included and featured freshly prepared eggs. However, the facilities needed updating. Overall, a satisfying stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers rooms with a view for our anniversary but could benefit from updating the linens. The bed was comfortable, and the location is very convenient. The service was excellent but lacked car hire options. The dining experience included appetisers, and the facilities met our needs. It was a good value for the money.
