Cons:

when I first walked in the room smelt like grandma or a weird smell not sure how to describe it. The door lock from the outside was broken as well and the the handle to it was falling off.

Very relaxing!
Pros:

The location was perfect for attending a concert at Petco Park, and there were lots of restaurants within walking distance. The room I had was really nice with a great view of the concert venue. The staff was also really nice.

Cons:

The overall stay was wonderful and very relaxing! It's worth mentioning that there is a nightly deposit for the hotel that gets refunded after your stay. I did not know about it until I checked in. It's possible that the information was presented to me beforehand and I overlooked it.

Bien pour les nostalgiques mais trop vieillissant
Pros:

La chambre était top

Cons:

Un peu vieillissant : on dirait un hôtel dont les propriétaires sont des vieux qui ne veulent plus rien changer !
