check-in and check out was smooth and done in quick order. Room was clean and well furnished Pool area, jacuzzi and fitness room clean and good presentation. Best point was there were no "hidden" charge on bill, i.e., safe in room, mini-bar, etc., when checking out nothing

It was in San Diego! So tried not to spend too much time inside the room. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The front desk staff were helpful and pleasant. Terrible Internet connection in my room - though wifi was free. Bad location - stranded on the side of a highway, where only food option is the hotel's restaurant, which consistently served the average & overpriced food at room temperature. Restaurant staff was disorganized and not helpful - waited for my check for half an hour every time. Smelled musty/smoky - just older and kind of run down place Poor water pressure in the shower

Location is close to everything. It's a great middle point for a lot of the downtown, Point Loma, Beach, Zoo, Trendy bars and restaurants. Fridge in the room Was given 2 double beds for a romantic weekend. They didn't have any queens. Bathrooms are tiny and literally have no counter space. Walls are paper thin. I could hear the room next to us at 3am having sex as clear as day. For $150 a night, I don't expect the Taj Mahal, but I expect to have privacy and not hear these things.

The manager was nice and treated us to breakfast for all our unconvince at the end of our trip Nothing in the room was working... Fridge was hot, toilet sink was clogged, and shower head was broken. The room is wayyyyy smaller than it looks in picture, it was very rowdy in there as there was a motorcycle club there and they were outside by the pool extremely loud and hotel did nothing about it. Would not stay there again.

Prompt check in and easy check out. Staff is very attentive and helpful. I did not care for the fact that, as a registered guest, i had to pay $12 a day to park my car in the hotel lot. Based on that, I don't think i will stay there again in the future.

The free courtesy bus that the hotel offers is excellent way of getting to places like San Diego Zoo and the harbour. Geoff, the driver, was really friendly and helpful offering us some useful tips for our first trip to San Diego.
