I’d stay here again.

Was kinda iffy on staying here after reading other reviews, but it wasn’t that bad. Staff was amazing. Breakfast was better than I had thought which saved us a lot for being there 4 mornings with a family of 5. The elevators sucked because it took forever to go up or down but we managed and that wouldn’t keep me from not staying here. Fans in the bathrooms would have been nice to have. Other than that we will be using the hotel again if we do another trip to San Diego.

The hotel was under renovations... it was loud when they were working on repairs. The worst part was that they had 2 of 3 elevators closed for "modernization". I understand maintenance and improvements are necessary, but they really should do 1 at a time. The elevator wait times were ridiculous. And because there was only 1 and everyone else was in the same boat, there were several times that they got WAY overloaded. Packed in there like sardines! I'm POSITIVE that we were over the max weight capacity. The free breakfast was sub-par. I know that it was "free" but it's not really, it's baked into the price of your rooms. And compared to many other hotels I've stayed with "free" breakfasts, this one was definitely below average. The beds were springy, loud and uncomfortable. The AC worked in the sense that it cooled down the room, but it had an intermittent rattle sound that woke me up multiple times. Had to live with it thought because San Diego was unusually muggy. That's all my gripes... Other than that, the hotel is cheap and it's in a good location. Easy access to the waterfront, Little Italy, the light rail. Not far from the airport or the Zoo. Took several Ubers to different parts of town and most were under 10 minutes drives. the furthest we went was Ocean Beach, and that was probably 15 minutes or less. Very centrally located. The hotel also did a good job decorating for both Pride and Comicon. Very festive!

Positives: In time with the Pride festivities, the hotel was a welcoming environment. Location is great within walking distance of the park and promenade. Good breakfast provided. Negatives: We arrived earlier than expected and our room was not ready. Was told to either get a lesser (view) room now or wait til 4 for our actual room. We waited....and upon check in, was assigned the lesser room anyway. Whatever. Got in the room and it's fine. However, the next morning we discovered ants in the bathroom. We had plans for the whole day which allowed them to mitigate the issue, which I appreciated. So-So: while there were a lot of breakfast items, some things would suddenly swap so it was a little confusing. Dining area cannot accommodate the full hotel so I wish they would consider expanding seating somehow for busy weekends. We arrived in the middle of elevator upgrades so only one of three was working. Not sure how long that maintenance takes but it was an incredible inconvenience during a very busy weekend. Being on the 4th floor, we hiked up the (staff) stairs most of the time so that families and folks with luggage or strollers could use the elevator. Also people across and next to us were in a partying mood so music and activities were loud and ran until 11pm. While overall it averaged to be an acceptable stay, I'm not sure I would come again just for the location.

Close to the water and little italy . Not many options for free breakfast and it was very packed during that time. Also only 1 out of 3 elevators working which means you had to wait a while to get up and down. Otherwise pretty decent

Staff was friendly, hotel itself was decent. Rooms were clean. Downside is parking is very limited and had to find parking for both of our nights about 2 blocks away. At the time they only had one working elevator which was an inconvenience but not a deal breaker as we just took the stairs. Luckily we were on the 3rd floor so not too bad.
