The hotel was clean, staff are friendly and close to the area we are going. However, lack of parking is the headache. We paid parking fee but still we end up not having a parking spot. Hopefully, they can add more parking in the future.

They were doing renovations during our stay. It was frustrating as we had to change elevators to get to the lobby. Once the renovations are finished, we would stay there again. On a side note, I think it should state in the comments that there are renovations happening.

Thank you

An unexpected stay. We got in on a wed morning stayed at a hotel that just wasn’t accommodating. The next morning looked into the hotel there was a room with all that was going on in San Diego we were able to get the room and check in right away. Friendly staff, clean and made the rest of our stay comfortable and enjoyable

UNDER CONSTRUCTION- NEVER TOLD UNTIL CHECK-IN

The hotel was never advertised to be under construction, the lobby, restaurant, bar, pool and gym were all closed off. The noise of a jack hammer going on all morning and afternoon was enough to have you running out of the hotel, which helped because it helped motivate you to go outside and enjoy San Diego. Now with all the amenities closed off to you, why weren't the rates discounted or vouchers given for nearby restaurant or bar...If you are charging the regular rate then all amenities should be available OR at the very least let the guest know in case I choose to stay elsewhere...Don't surprise me with it as I check-in.

Major renovations underway so the gym, pool, and reception area was under construction. But we had a comfortable room on the 20th floor, great bed, views across Little Italy and a balcony. We didn’t spend too much time in the hotel and it’s well situated. A fairer review will be after renovation is completed. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Late checkout granted till 1pm without hesitation.

Didn’t make it explicitly clear it was under massive renovations. Within 15 mins of checking into my room, I had 6 different maintenance people knock on my door and eventually just left the DND placard on handle.
