comodo
Pros:

El hotel está super bien ubicado, a espaldas queda la estación de trolley Little Italy y a unos pasos de la playa. La recepción fue muy amable al ofrecerme Early Check in, ya que mi llegada al hotel fue unas horas antes al ingreso.

Waren wegen dem Marathon in San Diego. Das Hotel ist Ideal gelegen.
Pros:

Waren schon Mal in diesem Hotel.
Für uns hat es gepasst.
Das Frühstück war gut.
Es gab immer Kaffee, Tee und Wasser an der Rezeption.

Cons:

Der Parkplatz ist zu Teuer.
Die Poolanlage könnte man schöner gestalten.

Pros:

Clean, comfortable, great breakfast and very close to many amenities.

Cons:

There is a train that passed very often right outside the window. But that isn’t the Hamptons fault.

Good stay, location is why we chose this venue
Pros:

Location. Near the event we attended and easy to get to the freeway

Cons:

Train kept us up in the evening. Tried to sleep early but couldn’t. Couldn’t get late checkout so we had to cut it very close to checkout time.

great value for area. rooms very clean
Pros:

Great affordable option in downtown San Diego. Interior of the rooms was quite spacious and immaculately clean. They were doing construction when I was there, which in my mind just means they are actively investing in making it better.
