Slight above mediocre
This hotel has somewhat of a modern feel. Cleanliness was not an issue. The staff was friendly. Nice that it's away from the gaslamp area. The walls are a bit thin though, however the hotel provides free ear plugs on the night stand to block out noise with. I wouldn't mind staying again. Parking is $23 per day.

Great location
Hotel is at Great location. Close access to most of the attractions in San Diego. Hotel is clean, staff are friendly. The restaurant at the hotel as well as most of the restaurant closes at 10 so if you arrive late, you will have tough time finding good place to eat for the night. Hotel is few blocks away from the pacific highway and Midway Museum.

best bang for the buck
This hotel is walking distance to the mall, restaurants, bars. The rooms are always nice and clean. I checked prices at other hotels around the Bristol and they are more expensive with same or fewer amenities.

Very clean, stylish, good location
The Bristol was very clean and stylish, nice size room, very comfortable bed. Our room faced the metro train that passes by every few minutes, but it must have stopped during the night and the noise didn't bother us at all. They gave us $1 drink coupons for the bar when we checked in.

More than met my needs for my convention in San Diego
About a 5 block walk from the convention center. Well appointed room. Free use of computer and printer handy to print airline boarding tickets。Very close to Westfield Horton Plaza (typical mall) and Gaslamp Quarter.
