Good and Bad hotel
My wife got a deal on this hotel through Living Social. We decided we were going to arrive a day early, so she booked a total of 3 nights there. Our first night was in another room type, than the room that was purchased on Living Social. We ask for the quite part of the hotel, and the girl at the front desk said that there was construction across the street, and she would put us on the other side of the hotel. She gave us room 305, which was directly across from the construction. We didn't complain because it was only 1 night. The room was very basic, with a sink but no microwave. The pillows in this room were soft, and more comfortable than the following day. We arrived back at the hotel early the following morning, and talk to the different person at the front desk about moving to the other room. He said he would call the room when it was ready. Around 2:30pm, the house keeping knocked and we told them we were waiting for our other room to open up. They let me know it was ready. We moved all our stuff to room 414. This room was a little smaller, but not a big deal. This room had harder pillows, and a microwave. After trying to sleep on the stiffer pillows, we called down to ask for softer pillows and the female at the front desk said that all their pillows were the same. Our room was facing the freeway, but we heard the freeway very little. The bathroom was nice size, but the sink was a pedestal sink, which made it hard to get ready. There is a sink in the room, which we felt was a big waste of space. Overall it wasn't the biggest room for the money, but it seemed clean, and we got a decent nights sleep.
We ate at the Glass Door restaurant. The menu is very limited, but the food was very good. We expected the basic bar menu, but the food was much better than we expected. We got a salad with Lobster on it. There was a small amount of lobster, but it was a good salad. I got a Ribeye, and my wife got a chicken menu. We both enjoyed our meals.
It is $22 to valet your car with the hotel, which is necessary because parking around the hotel is a pain in the butt.
The biggest negative about the hotel is that the room doors open to outside. The hotel is open down to the basement garage, and you can sometimes hear cars going in and out in the middle of the night. The hotel is close to most things in San Diego. I am sure there are better hotels in the area because most of the area looks rebuilt in the last 10 years.
