You get what you pay for
I just returned from a 4-day stay at this hotel. I booked late for the summer. Every other place I've stayed in San Diego was way too high for the summer. I wanted to save a little money, so I took a chance here. Don't do what I did if you expect comfort. This hotel has seen better days. Don't be fooled by the Web photos. Yes, the lobby is nice and the employees try to be upscale, but the rest of the hotel itself isn't at all comparable. The stairwells, sidewalks, and parking lots are dirty. We rented a junior suite, which consists of two room separated by a sliding glass door. If you shut the bedroom door for privacy, you need air circulation and cooling from the front room window air conditioner, so there's a fan in the wall to pull air into the bedroom. Our fan was broken and wouldn't start. Management brought us a floor fan the first night. The cord was not long enough to place it anywhere strategically, so we put it at the door to the bedroom to pull cool air in. We kept running into it during the night. The next day a mantenance man came and said he would put in a new fan. Apparently he only got the old one started because for the next two nights it rattled and clanked and kept us awake. The bedroom remained hot. Additionally, the suite had no chairs, only a couch. The tub stop didn't work well, so a child couldn't take a tub bath. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was also very noisy. Management gave us a $50 discount, which hardly made up for the discomfort. Overall, I won't make the same mistake again next time we're in San Diego, which is often.
