The area around the block of the hotel is not safe to walk around and dirty. The room smelled really bad even after turning on the fan/AC. Even though upon reservation through Expedia it states you’re paying for 2 breakfast vouchers they only gave me 1 ticket and said it’s only for 1 plate and 1 drink. It’s not continental. Parking is Valet only $65 for 1 night.
The room was great. The staff was friendly and the check in process was smooth and the location was not as bad as I had thought it would’ve been based on the other reviews. The room service options were great, I highly recommend the chilaquiles. I did not get my complimentary bottle of wine at check in though so that’s why I deducted a star.
The hotel was nice, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. My only issues were the tiny bathroom sink with an awkward faucet - you really can’t wash your face easily, and the towel racks, which aren’t very functional. It was also a bit noisy at night due to the location.Other than those issues, it was a nice place to stay. Walking distance to most everything.

The hotel building is amazing and the lobby is one of the best I had seen. It can match a five star level.
The location is not so ideal. Downtown San Diego has too many homeless people wondering in the dark.
If you are looking for a place to sleep comfortably at night, this is indeed a good place. Not a good place to wonder outside at night with family.
I was VIP member and didn’t get the bottle of wine and also the TV service didnt work at all. They told me to move rooms next day and then no rooms available to move to.
The manager is rude and doesn’t let you express your experience as customer. I do not recommend it.
