    The only complaints I have was that the mirror hadn’t been cleaned (there were finger prints all over it) and that the air conditioner wouldn’t go below 68 degrees.

    I loved the location. You are right in Old Town which is close to everything else. You’re about a ten minute ride to Gaslamp and Little Italy! The room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. Breakfast in the morning was perfect. There is street parking you don’t have to pay for which is a nice option if you don’t want to pay for the parking garage.

    Nice place, but front staff very rude and no way a manager will ever call you back.

    I left my toiletry bag on the sink and when I called to retrieve it, the front desk was very unhelpful and downright rude. I got the run around about getting a answer as to whether or not they had my bag and after leaving a message for a manager, no one ever got back to me. There was nothing of real value in that bag to anyone but me, as my prescription glasses were in this bag. When I asked the person at the front desk to double check, he acted as though I was accusing someone of stealing my bag! I most certainly did no such thing. The front desk staff there is very rude! Would not recommend for this reason.

    The location was perfect for seeing Old Town San Diego.

    I loved everything except the fact that there were no more blankets, the hotel ran out of them I suppose. It was pretty cold. Other than that everything was fine. Well except the watery oatmeal.

    Breakfast was good, my room was beyond perfect with enough space, The workers were insanely sweet. During breakfast, one lady even brought out fresh eggs for me.

    The breakfast was chaotic with some out-of-control children. One day the breakfast area was well stocked and the other day it was rather pitiful. We asked for yogurt and were told it would be right out. 30 minutes later still no yogurt.

    Comfortable and quiet room. Good location for walking.

    Property a bit worn out and tired. Our room was nice and comfortable & clean. But common areas need help. Lots of worn out furniture and carpeting, scratches,chips & scuffs to hallway walls etc. A bit spooky when we arrived late at night. Pleased our room was updated and good when we opened the door.

    Good location. Friendly helpful staff.

    If I had to say one bad thing, my husband and I were not liking the bed to much. A little uncomfortable. For what we spent I think they need to upgrade there beds

    We loved that old town was walking distance from our hotel, the free breakfast was actually not bad and the staff was very nice

    Room seemed a little beat up and a little dusty but linens were clean. Also think it could use another chair.

    Wonderful location, very clean, breakfast was delicious in fact that’s the reason we opted for this hotel again. Staff exceptionally friendly, the breakfast area was maintained very clean and great food variety including fresh made waffles. Location close to buses , train, trolley and walking distance to old town.

    It was a little bit pricy, but probably not by San Diego standards.

    if you have to quarantine for five days due to close contact and a positive test (with no symptoms), there are far worse places to be under voluntary house arrest! Lovely faux balconies so you can have fresh air, pleasant decor, and of course Sam Diego weather is nothing to sneeze at (because you didn’t have symptoms).

    We had a problem with the breakfast. It was supposed to be until 9:30 and they put almost everything away at 9:00. We asked for more food and it never materialized they seemed in a really big hurry to get us out of there

    Everybody was very nice everything was very nice it's a wonderful property. They gave us a wonderful room with the private balcony at no additional charge

    Had to pay extra for parking. The AC unit in the room was extremely loud. The lobby and breakfast area did not have AC and it was very hot!

    It was very close to restaurants and had it's own parking.
