The front desk staff was rude (Jose). Didn’t have a first aid kit, and nobody was available to talk to when needed. We asked the front for sheets and never received anything. Phone was never picked up, hotel was never busy to not answer

The rooms are definitely not sound proof and the floors are oddly lacking in area rugs (I am a little confused as to why there was a long area rug under the chair and table of the room i stayed in instead of the beds, which personally i think would make the rooms feel more inviting and the interior design choices more intentional), but the gym is excellent and all the staff were absolutely lovely! So thank you very much for that!

Cute quiet place

Love the Bristol. This is my second time staying here while coming to San Diego. I love the location, it’s close to Petco but also it’s quiet.
