The hotel has a stunning location with plenty of nearby attractions and dining options. The rooms were not as clean as expected, with bugs and blood on the sheets. The service was attentive except for the unaddressed room cleanliness issue.

6.8/10

Upon check-in, we experienced a delay of almost an hour before our room was ready, which was a bit inconvenient. However, once in the room, we found it consisted of two spaces offering extra comfort and a convenient sink area. The location is ideal for those who enjoy walking to popular attractions around town but the price for some services was on the higher side. The dining options were average, with some items unavailable, but staff were accommodating. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor setbacks.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room size met our needs for a group of six, but unfortunately, it was not as clean as expected, with dirty towels from the prior guest and bugs found during our stay. The service was helpful and friendly, but there were some issues with communication and availability. The location was convenient for exploring San Diego on foot, but there were some disappointments with the facilities.
