    Unexpected gym noise ruined our night

    The location was great, and check-in was smooth. The staff offered a warm welcome, which was refreshing after our long drive. Our room was clean and spacious, with a lovely view of the city.

    rooftop bar
    cocktail selection
    helpful staff
    parking fees
    construction noise

    I enjoyed the rooftop bar and tried a selection of cocktails. The view was quite nice, which made for a memorable evening. As someone who appreciates good vibes and sunsets, this was the highlight of my stay. The staff was helpful and made me feel welcomed during my time here. I appreciate those moments because they remind me of weekends spent exploring food and culture back home in Italy.

    I faced some issues with parking fees that added up quickly.

    comfortable stay with great views

    The modern rooms had a clean aesthetic and a comfortable layout. The gym exceeded my expectations with its variety of equipment and space.

    The city view was nice but slightly obstructed from my room.

    reasonable price
    decent food

    It was just a great fit for a weekend in San Diego with reasonable price. The restaurant food was decent, but super slow service made mornings frustrating. Be ready for some unexpected charges at checkout.

    Super chill spot for family and pup

    The staff was super friendly and our dog felt right at home. Loved the pool area, definitely a nice chill spot. The bar had great service and we found some awesome places to eat nearby. Just wish the parking fees were a bit clearer upfront.

    spacious room
    helpful staff
    unprofessional staff
    minor maintenance issues
    limited customer service

    The amenities provided great value, especially for events like Comic-Con, with a close distance to the free shuttle stop. The King Room with City View was spacious and comfortable, complemented by helpful staff who maintained a clean environment. A disappointing aspect was the unprofessional response from gym staff regarding children’s access, alongside some minor maintenance issues like the TV remote's functionality.

    Why I’m torn on this

    The hotel's modern decor and friendly staff made my stay enjoyable. The breakfast was a great way to fuel up before exploring, with enough variety to keep things interesting.

    Great Stay with Room for Improvement

    Loved the rooftop bar with stunning views and delicious snacks. However, my room above the gym was quite noisy late at night and early morning. Future guests should request a room away from the gym if they're looking for peace and quiet.

    Couple getaway, worth every penny

    The rooftop bar had an amazing view and the drinks were crafted perfectly. The staff really went above and beyond, especially the bartender who even gave us a free glass, which was a nice touch.

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but still acceptable for the experience.
