All staff was very friendly and accommodating. Easy 15 minute walk to Petco Park, to the Marina with fantastic shopping and food and to little Italy. The pool had great sun loungers, lots of umbrellas and decent food and drink menu. There was even complimentary chair massages at the pool! I will definitely stay there again!

The hotel is pretty old and smells musty (at least the 17th floor and rooms did). Our shower was clogged every day and they couldn’t fix it. We also had black mold in our bathroom. However, all of the staff were helpful and amazing. We ended up switching rooms. The spa and massage therapists were wonderful. The pool area was really nice too but crowded. If it weren’t for the attentive staff, we would have switched hotels.

It’s in downtown SD so not very clean, the property itself is Clean but old and dusty. The rooms smell old, and had a creepy locked door in the rooms looks like it’s a secret passage, behind the bathroom mirror. The service was bad, front desk rude. Parking is charged different than what is advertised, and when I brought it up I was told I was wrong. Even when I had screen shots. Paid $25 for a watered down margarita at the pool bar. But was billed for breakfast at $54. I have been charged for 3 overnight parkings stays but stayed one night, left early because of the bad service. I have called back 4 times to have someone walk over the charges with me and keep getting the round around. Was promised a call back from a David and still no call back 4 days later. Now the charges reflecting on my bill have doubled and no one can resolve anything for me. Please learn from me, and avoid staying here.

This is not a 4.5 star property. Rating should be updated. Windows were filthy, carpets were musty. Housekeeping did not service our room one day, even though we were gone for 12 hours. Had to request clean towels at 10pm upon our return that day. Keys stopped working on multiple days, requiring trips to the front desk to re-key. Other 4 star hotels in the area are much nicer & cleaner (Intercontinental, Westin). I felt mislead by the 4.5 star rating. Staff was very nice, but other things listed above made the stay not enjoyable. Wish we would have booked somewhere else.

It used to be a most beautiful hotel, now it needs some fixing up, but still nice. I like the location, the amplitude of the rooms and baths. Very good service. The parking is way too expensive though.

The hotel is overall very nice, offering a wide range of great amenities that make for a comfortable stay. However, the outdated cable TV system is a bit disappointing, especially since most hotels have upgraded to smart TVs by now. The staff is exceptional, providing top-notch service throughout our stay. Just be aware that valet services come at a cost, and the parking fees can be quite steep.

Stayed here for a night for fun, but wanted to stay an extra day for the spa area in the building across that was included in the stay. The hotel had a nice aesthetic that was unique. Best service was the quick and professional valet drivers. Front desk gave a bit of 'tude at some point, but honestly I don't blame them because they had to deal with Comic Con creatures the days prior to our stay. Felt unsafe walking places around the building, but it wasn't terrible compared to other big cities in CA. Had to drive everywhere in San Diego anyways and parking was terrible, but at least the valet guys I mentioned before made it tolerable.
