Extremely Noisy
I'm writing this review from the hotel room.
I usually do a pretty good job at researching a hotel before a stay. This time, I had to make a quick trip and had minimal time to do research and boy am I paying for it. I thought I got a great hotel steps away from beautiful San Diego bay at a reasonable price. Think golden sunsets and a nice cold drink. Right ? Well, not quite.
As I'm writing this, a train is passing behind the hotel property maybe 200 ft away. It wouldn't be so bad if it just passed by but the conductor had to pull the horns as he passes by. The horn sound is so powerful that it's like getting slashed by a knife and getting punched below the belt at the same time.
No, I'm not exaggerating. The sound is loud and unpredictable and goes on through the wee hours of the night. You have to be sadistic in the most awful way to like staying at this hotel. Let me save you some bruising, please stay somewhere else.
I have stayed at other hotels near train tracks but nothing as bad as this one. The construction of this hotel could have been done in such a way as to mitigate the sound with better windows and sound insulation. They probably took the cheap route on it.
