Superb in every aspect
Pros:

What a funcky and pleasant hotel. The decor is so artistic and welcoming. The staff are friendly and helpful. The connected restaurant is yummy with great breakfast.

Now the rooms are very spacious and the bed is comfortable with excellent lighting in the room. They have great gym and cute outdoor swimming pool.

The location is superb if you have business downtown and is walking distance (12-15 min) to waterfront. I actually did also walk to Little Italy which is like 25-30 min very pleasant walk.

It is highly recommended hotel while in San Diego.

Cons:

No issues and will for sure stay again!

Perfect Tuesday Place!
Pros:

Absolutely terrific. It was a busy day. I was starving. Just needed a relaxed place for a bite and a drink. Siyovush is the best bartender! The food is just perfect. And honestly, the service is extraordinary. Put this place on your San Diego bucket list, whether you’re staying at the hotel or not

Awesome hotel-and wow that valet!
Pros:

The hotel is amazing. the food, the rooftop, the thoughtful story and design touches throughout the building. It’s clean and well appointed. We were specifically impressed with the valet. There were a lot of cars. It was a busy night. Rene and Matthew were kind, hospitable, efficient, fast and nailed the service of it all.

5 o'clock somewhere.... I would come back
Pros:

This was amazing . Travis and Brett made our vacation even better. We couldn't get ourselves out of the 5 o'clock somewhere bar. This was a great experience in a perfect location. The rooms were clean and very comfy. The only thing that could made better was the cherry in the old fashion and the big screen after 5 pm. I would totally stay here again.

Overpriced
Pros:

It was clean and in a good location, and the food was good.

Cons:

You can hear everything in the hallway because there are large gaps around the door. Be prepared to wake up around 7 a.m. every morning. We stayed for a week, and it was very difficult to sleep. Parking very expensive. No fridge in the room
