Not so good

Not so good experience, it was the worst but not great as at all. The food wasn’t ready on time in the lobby section. The fridge was off when we arrived and didn’t know so our drinks were hot the first day. The cleaning staff took forever. We stayed out of room from 9am until 2pm and our room still wasn’t made up. The staff was always missing from front desk. The people next to us were loud and singing and 10pm.

OK Stay

This used to be our “go-to” hotel when staying in San Diego. It’s within walking distance of historic Old Town (with its shops and many restaurants) and a short drive to other fun spots (like the San Diego Zoo and Seaport Village). The check-in staff have always been very engaging and outgoing but the early morning staff (we normally leave during the 5 a.m. hour) are not (although cordial). The housekeeping staff is also very pleasant. During our staff a little over a week ago we were sad to see that the water fountain was no be longer running in the courtyard (possibly because it appeared that some new artificial turf had recently been laid)-it normally adds such charm to the hotel. We were really dismayed at the mildew in the grout of our shower (I took pictures and video). I wondered how it got that way especially if most rooms get daily cleaning. There was also a mildly damp smell on the other side of our studio room (not strong enough to ask for another room but noticeable). We really used to live staying here, and although I won’t totally rule out coming back, will probably investigate staying at another property for our next visit.

Upon arrival there was construction going directly in front and along the hotel entrance. Luckily the parking area is underground and secure. Staff was friendly enough and the breakfast was better than most. But I would not have expected any less for the price of this location. It's extremely close to Old Town so very walkable and convenient.
