The best thing of this hotel was the young lady receptionist. She was helpful and kind. The hotel didn’t feel clean, and my bedding was stained when I got there. Also, getting an Uber, directed to this hotel was impossible. That was very inconvenient.

Could’ve Been Worse, I guess.
OK stay. Would not stay here again. The description says that parking is available, but what they neglect to tell you until after you get there and check in is that the only parking they offer is valet parking at $50/night so I ended up paying as there wasn’t any free parking available by the time I got there. They also won’t tell you this until you ask, but there’s free street parking on 2nd Ave/Cedar that’s almost always full no matter what time of the day it is. I’m extremely upset about this and wish I could get that $50 back. Pretty inconvenient. Bums on the sidewalks. Can’t speak for all the rooms but mine had a very dirty towel wedged in between the wall and heater/AC unit that room service never noticed. Random stains on the walls that didn’t look pleasant. Toilets aren’t the best at flushing. The best thing I could say is that the staff is friendly.

i am super disappointed with my stay here. When booking our room, it mentioned nothing about paying $50 a day for valet, two days that’s an extra $100. If i would have known that i would have spent the extra money to stay at a more cleanliness hotel with an efficient elevator that didn’t take 10 mins each time. Being that we booked on the holiday, i felt that took advantage of the parking situation. I’d give it 0 starts if i could.

Nice hotel - didn’t like that Expedia didn’t say there’s a mandatory $50/day valet car parking on top of hotel rate. Nowhere else to park. Other than that, staff was friendly and hotel was clean and worth the $150/night.

The property is very nice. The rooms were very clean as well. The property only has continental breakfast AND you have to pay for it. Walking is good, but there is quite a bit of unhoused individuals in the surrounding area.

Excellent location
Excellent location that allowed us to walk to Balboa Park and Little Italy (30-45 min) so we could skip renting a car. Very decent, clean, comfortable, good value for San Diego. Enjoyed our Bay view. Only thing was the immediate surrounding neighborhood is next to freeway, with gritty feel (e.g., unhoused persons), so advise being alert when you walk. Would stay here again.

I loved the mirror in the bathroom, did a ton of photos and videos in the amazing lighting. We were on the 15th floor and the noise from the freeway was still loud. We had a great view of the unhomed. The in house bar was not great but expensive, but the late night kitchen was good but limited, excellent fries. The staff was very very kind and friendly. The structure of the hotel is cool, it is a circular design. The bed was too high, not great for elder guest and not comfortable, we got like 6 pillows and they were all to soft.
