There's only so much lipstick you can put on a pig
For very basic accommodations, this fits BUT you could find a better deal elsewhere-like the Hotel Palomar, a new hotel. I had three issues with maintenance (one lamp didn't have a lightbulb, when I pulled the pillows back, the headboard had glue gunk, and the tub didn't drain when I had shower). Housekeeping forgot to put shampoo and conditioner. The floors (tile and carpet) felt dirty. There was no in room safe, nor mini bar. Wifi always kicked out. The hotel seemed to have undergone a lipstick facelift from its prior still tired middle aged hotel. All the lipstick couldnt change the low ceilings on room floors - which was unexpected given the lobby which had this ultra modern vibe. So much so that when I came into the lobby to check in, the Icon lounge was PUMPING music, it was hard to discern what the checkin clerk said given the loud volume of house music emanating from the bar. Staff were tepidly enthusiastic about helping, and my room setbacks were answered only by the granting of my late checkout request. As a business traveller, I think better value and comforts could be had elsewhere. If you're on a convention, have an extra cocktail during your reception, then the oddities of a lipstick facelifted old dame of a hotel won't bother you as much (including the odd location of the closet inside the bathroom, and small outside windows). Breakfast buffet was acceptable but unremarkable -no lattes or espresso coffees though. I am surprised this hotel hasn't had worse reviews. My suggestion is to stay elsewhere for the same money. It wasn't unacceptable, just not quite up to business travel standards. Anniversary couples have written great reviews, but who doesn't have a great vacation? Again, it was ok, but not great
