Much Left To Be Desired
Stayed over Colmbus Day weekend 2012 and left with a mixed impression. Asked for a quiet room and was placed on a high floor but overlooking the pool. The noise at night was annoying and we had to change rooms.The finishes in the hotel were high end and pleasing, the bar was great and the valet service was also very good but the overall atmosphere of the place fell short of the cool/hip vibe they seem to be striving for. The restaurant seemed like an after thought and the food was just OK. Now, I may be biased by the fact that the whole downtown/Gas Lamp district was not very appealing to me either; the streets were dirty, the homeless population was quite large and conspicuous and there really wasn't much to do or see there except eat at restaurants. The sight seeing trips we took outside of Gas Lamp were spectacular and I highly recommend San Diego as a vacation destination--just book your hotel elsewhere if you are there for lesiure.
