Nice place and location
Pros:

Nice hotel, great location. The room was a suite with ample space for two people. The room set up was a bit strange with the toilet and shower, both with frosted glass doors, on opposite sides and sink in the middle of the room...so lacking privacy.

Pros:

The hotel has a great atmosphere, and the staff were generally friendly and helpful.
The location is excellent, especially for exploring downtown San Diego. It is convenient for restaurants, nightlife, and the main attractions.
Overall, the room and common areas were clean and well maintained.

Cons:

Unfortunately, there were several issues that made our stay disappointing. The shower had a serious water leak. Although maintenance came twice to repair it, the problem was never resolved, and the bathroom was flooded with water every time we took a shower. Since there were three of us sharing the room, we had to put towels on the floor to absorb the water after every shower, which was very inconvenient.

The hairdryer was also very old and stopped working after we used it. The hotel eventually replaced it, but this was another inconvenience during our stay.

We stayed in a studio suite advertised as being 37 square meters, but the room did not feel anywhere near that size. Considering the price we paid for our stay from August 21 to August 25, the overall experience did not live up to the expectations or the value we were expecting. The room size and the unresolved maintenance issues made the price feel unjustified.

Rock’n’roll a San Diego
Pros:

Posizione eccellente e vista dalla camera sulla piscina con San Diego sullo sfondo! Camera spaziosa, nonostante abbiamo dormito in 4. Pulizia ottima. Hotel bellissimo!

Cons:

Unico problema: il parcheggio. Il car valet dell’hotel costa 70€ al giorno, molto più dei parcheggi nei dintorni, avremmo preferito un parcheggio convenzionato. Quelli nei dintorni costano 25 dollari a notte.
