Too Isolated For Us
When visiting San Diego my wife and I normally stay Downtown near the Gaslamp District. This time we stayed at the Sheraton on Harbor Island. If you don't mind being away from the action the hotel is nice. We walked around the marina and the island looking for something to do. We finally got in our car and went to Ocean Beach to watch the sunset. Then we went to the Gaslamp District to party. On the way back to the hotel a group of bicyclists named Critical Mass were doing their best to obstruct traffic the entire length of Harbor Drive from the Downtown to the Airport. At the main intersection between the airport and the Sheraton dozens of them rode in cirlces obstructing the intersection for about 8 minutes. When we got back to the hotel all the $22 self parking spots were taken. They finally let us valet our car without charging us extra. When we got back to the room it was hot. The air conditioner wasn't working. They sent a maintenance man up to fix it. He found that the system that shuts off the AC when the balcony door is opened wasn't working (even though the balcony door was closed and locked). He had to bypass that system to get the AC working. In the future we'll stay downtown near the Gaslamp District where we've never had problems.
