The Bristol Hotel

This hotel was a very economical option priced well below sponsoring hotels for our conference. It's beautiful boutique aesthetic, walking distance to convention center, Gaslamp, and harbor were great. The rooms were a bit small and lacking for enough electrical outlets as the building is older, but this wasn't a big deal for us. The absolute best was the customer service. Every staff member was helpful no matter what the request! At times I was wistful for a pool, but overall had a great stay and would recommend for business travel that is a cut above ordinary.

Every staff member I came in contact with was awesome. They were all about customer service and strived to make my stay the best possible. The room and bathroom were spotless. My room had two small windows that would open. The location was great for public transportation. The Civic Center trolly stop was a short walk and it is also close to the Broadway bus stops. I would stay here again!

The location in the Gaslamp district was great! We were within a few blocks of restaurants and shopping. We were also impressed with the decor of the hotel; it was just the right blend of the traditional and the contemporary. Even the white baby crib matched.

Loved The Bristol and San Diego! We spent most of our time in the Gaslamp since it was walking distance to the hotel. I recommend Woodfire Pizza Grill, Richard Walker's Pankake House, and the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf for great food. As far as clubs/bars I recommend On Broadway (dance club) and Altitude (rooftop bar!). Wish I had more time to enjoy it all!

Our concentration on this trip was to explore the city of San Diego and we did just that. The Bristol Hotel provided an excellent location to branch out around the city. We took the Trolley Tour to get oriented, spent the better part of a day at the San Diego Zoo, strolled through the Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, Seaport Village, Horton Plaza and toured the USS Midway. The Trolley Tour provided transportation to/from the zoo but we walked everywhere else. This was made possible because of the central location of the Bristol Hotel. The hotel itself was beautiful, very up to date in its decor, spacious rooms and friendly staff. We would definitely go back to the Bristol. We have traveled all over the world, and this trip ranks right up there as one of the best.

This hotel was reasonably priced, had very comfortable beds, nicely decorated rooms, in a great location downtown, in walking distance to the Gaslamp, Horton Plaza and many good restaurants. The restaurant served great breakfasts and the service was excellent. The bar offered a comfortable place to relax in the evening and we met people from all over the world for interesting conversation.

The Bristol Hotel was beautifully decorated. A great boutique hotel, but decor seemed somewhat out of place for downtown San Diego. Heat didn't work in my room and maintenance was unable to fix it. Bathroom door didn't close.

Great location. Near shopping, great restaurants, bars. Friendly staff at hotel. On site valet parking but a little on the expensive side.

The Brisol Hotel is beautifully decorated, with soft white sheets and a gorgeous lobby. There were some things that could be improved. The dining room was barren most of the time, and closed early. This hotel must have been updated in recent years; there was evidence of it's age in the chipped tub, and slightly sagging ceiling tiles in the bathroom. Overall, I was very pleased with the cleanliness, service and ambiance.

Loved the style and ambiance of the hotel. The fact that it was right in the heart of the Gas Lamp and close to the event that I was participating in. Was able to walk to every place that I wanted to visit.
