Location is convenient near airport and Old Town. However all hotels in San Diego are relatively close to the airport. The exterior is very old but rooms are fully renovated. Staff was all great. In our shower though had a piece of blood that scrubbed off with Clorox wipes myself as didn’t want to change rooms. That was the major gross and downside.

I'm starting off by saying I love this hotel, especially the service! Fantastic location. This time a couple glitches. Bad internet froze the TV several times as well as my electronic devices. Also, I had put my delicious dinner leftovers in the fridge only to find in the morning the fridge was turned off! I hadn't checked because it's always on. When I mentioned these while checking out, Lindon (?) was so kind and accommodating. Like always, excellent service.

Our overall experience was great! The aesthetics of the hotel is wonderful. A little outdated on the inside, but it was ok. I loved the fact that it has double doors that open to a small balcony! The underground parking was pretty nerve-wrecking as well. The height clearance was VERY low! We drive a large suv so it was scary, I’m not sure I would like to park out on the street though.

Next time calling to ensure hot tub works

We had a one night stay due to the last-minute extension of our trip. The reason why I chose this hotel was due to the hot tub and it was temporarily out of service. Next time I will call to ensure it works. Beds were pretty comfortable. Check-in was fast and easy overall a good day.

I would rate this stay as okay. The check in was somewhat difficult as there are only a couple of spaces on the curb for 15 minute parking to check in. These spots were taken by cars not checking in so we had to double park. The girl who checked us in was not very very friendly. She wasn't unfriendly but also wasn't as welcoming as I would expect. Our room also wasn't the cleanest. We found a blueberry on the floor and it looked like somone spilled a fruit drink on the bedspread. The breakfast was good and the coffee was also good. The location is also convenient and very close to old town. Parking in the underground parking was small and hard to navigate, it was also a little pricey. In all, the stay wasn't bad. It wasn't the best but it also wasn't amazing. I feel that the 8.6 it received is a little high. I would rate it closer to a 7.5

Loved walking to Old Town. The property is beautiful. We didn't like the way the rooms smelled but found everything else great. Upkeep is a little sloppy, I recognize it's an older hotel.

Really love the location. Do be aware that free parking is located along side streets which is not ideal. Underground parking is $30/per night extra. Was a very nice stay. Being able to easily walk through old town was fantastic. Hotel pool has nice view of SeaWorld allowed us to enjoy the evening fireworks in comfort. Breakfast was nice. Rooms were well taken care of. Will definitely recommend!

From the moment we arrived, our stay was filled with issues. When we walked into our room, we were shocked to find a spider on the pillow—not exactly a welcoming sight. Things only got worse when we saw the shower was covered in black mold, making it feel unsafe and unclean. We also paid $30 a day for parking, only to discover there were no available spots. It felt like we were being charged for a service the hotel couldn’t even provide. Overall, this stay was far below expectations in terms of cleanliness, value, and basic amenities. I would not recommend this hotel to others.
