Pleasant Night in San Diego
Pros:

The room was aesthetically pleasing, the bed very comfortable. The shuttle service to and from the airport was excellent as was the early morning hot breakfast (included with room) This hotel offered free shuttle service on demand to local destinations such as Old Town and the Convention Center, which is a really nice perk.

Cons:

Everything was great, especially since this was an in transit stop.

Boa localização mas local com muito ruídos
Pros:

Localização pois estava próximo do local do evento que participei.

Cons:

Fiquei em quarto ao lado da porta principal de entrada e isso provocou ruído excessivo pela entrada e saída de hóspedes. A internet também estava bem limitada durante a estadia.

Overall good. Would stay again
Pros:

Very clean. It was also very convenient

Cons:

Art was sweet but the way I saw him interact with coworkers was…rude. Also there was this constant smell in the halls like it was burning

Nice room, friendly staff, no problems.
Pros:

Breakfast was pretty much the standard fare. Staff was friendly and helpful. Really liked the fact that the hotel shuttle goes to the cruise terminal as well as the airport. If you're cruising out of San Diego, no need to pay the cruise line for an airport transfer. Stay here and they'll take you to your ship.

Cons:

Had to call twice to get the shuttle to come to the airport.

Not great
Pros:

Breakfast was a plus, staff was kind.

Cons:

Loud music almost every night, the smell of marijuana coming into our room multiple times, homeless guy entering the eating area, grabbing food, refused to leave. Instead of removing him they tried to persuade him with a plate of food. All while he was grabbing everything and spouting nonsense. Huge safety concern for my family and disappointed in the lack of safety on the property.

Pros:

Gutes Frühstück, nahe an der Old Town

Cons:

Trotz Schallschutzfenster hört man die Autobahn, mich hat das gestört, meine sonst lärmempfindliche Familie war fein damit.
