Out of 3 Elevators but only 2 working. Of the only 2 elevators working, one of the elevators was running very slow and seemed unsafe as it would not close making us assume it was not working. No stairwells to easily walk up to lobby from garage. Had to literally walk around hotel to get into lobby. Very inconvenient for anyone and including cleaning service who also had to use elevators.

Only complaint was that only one of the three elevators were working. Have stayed here every time we cruise and feel hotel could use some updating. Would like to see more seating at the front desk area while either waiting to check in or waiting for cab arrival. Otherwise the convenience to cruise ship pier and airport is important to us.

What you’d expect from a standard hotel experience. Room was clean, well kept and proximity for walking to San Diego areas quite easy. This isn’t a complaint, but know that the hotel is right next to city transit on the train tracks. The crossing arms for the road next to the hotel ding every 5-15 minutes. The hotel doesn’t have control over this, obviously. But if you’re sensitive to that, maybe look for a different hotel.

Desk chair in room is filthy. Bedside lamp is burned out. Carpets are dirty. One elevator is out of service and the other is hit and miss. Train noise outside is awful. Have stayed here several times in the past and each time the place gets worse than the last. I will never stay here again. Talked to the manager about the situation and he told me the entire hotel is being renovated in the next few months. Guess that’s why they are charging about one hundred dollars more per night next year

Front Desk staff was great. They addressed a problem of two separate one day reservations into a two day stay. So I didn't need to change rooms.... great job.
