Location, Location, is the best!! you are right at the beginning of the Old Town shopping and dining strip. The breakfast is great and the staff is wonderful. The smell they have emitting from a sprayer in the hallways smells great!! It is definitely an old property so you have to keep that in mind. However the walls are thicker because of that so we never heard any neighbors or people walking by our room in the hallway which was nice for a change. If you have a high profile car you will NOT be able to park in the basement parking garage. We were in a rental pick up truck and only cleared by a half inch in places so defintely call beforehand to make sure your car will fit.

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 A little outdated on the inside, but it was ok.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.
