Really quite excellent...
Can't find anything to fault here really. All the staff were helpful and everything was in working order. The rooms have sort of a Willy Wonka meets Ikea feel - still not sure if I actually like the design but everything was clean and spacious, so no complaints.
A friend visited and we tried the 9th floor terrace. Great space, view, and firepit action...
Also had breakfast in the restaurant. Excellent service and food. Really top notch.
Since it was a Sunday night with no baseball game, there was no trouble parking at a meter overnight and then paying the meter to stay through breakfast.
To top it all off, my stay was actually free, as compensation for a reservation issue with the corporate office. There was no obvious difference from the staff because of it! No attitude at all. I was really impressed, actually.
Have tried a few other hotels in downtown San Diego and this is definitely my favorite.
