Frustrante
Pros:

Ser atendido en el desayuno por Silvia y por Alení. Dos personas tremendamente amables y cordiales que recordaré. La ubicación es excelente y las instalaciones muy prácticas y limpias.

Cons:

Que no podía dormir de las 9 de la noche a las 2 de la madrugada por la música que hacía temblar las paredes. Así no se puede estar. Deberían habeme advertido o darme otra habitación. El hotel no estaba lleno. Si vuelvo a San Diego no volveré ahí.

The room was nice, but I didn’t get any sleep due to the noise in the door mechanism. But staff was very nice in compens
Pros:

It was great! Perfectly located in gaslamp district with walking distance to many restaurants. The room was clean and nice.

Cons:

There was a clicking noise in the door mechanism in our room every 10 to 12 minutes keeping me awake all night long! It was frustrating because we had a funeral to attend to early the next morning. But the staff was very understanding and compensated me for the trouble so that made it better but still did not get any sleep the whole night. I hope they fixed the problem.

ひどい睡眠不足
Pros:

学会場に徒歩で行けた。

Cons:

向かいの店が22:00~3:00までとにかくうるさい。金曜、土曜の晩はあふれんばかりの客が全員大合唱していて、ライブ会場にいるようだった。6Fの道路側だったのでとにかく眠れなかった。ホワイトノイズを出す機器と耳栓が置かれていたが、そんなものは全く効果がなかった。1週間滞在したが、月曜の夜だけ0:00~1:00にうるさいのみで、少しだけ眠れた。毎日の睡眠時間が2~3時間だったので、睡眠不足とひどい頭痛に悩まされ続けた。予約の段階で、これは通知すべき。学会期間なので、通常の倍の料金となっていたが、価格に見合うホテルではなかった。睡眠時間を確保したい人は、泊まってはいけないホテル。ハウスキーピングが毎回名刺を置いていくが、ハウスキーピング中にトイレを詰まらせた人は名刺を置いていなかった。掃除も適当。

We loved it and will come back.
Pros:

We love the hotel and the room! Services was great and so was the location.

Cons:

One thing we didn’t like is that we left the hotel at 11 am to have brunch and came back and our room hadn’t been service! We called and they say they start cleaning at 8. We did receive extra towels when we asked both days.

Mariah Shea, Cody, the staff we came into contact with were exceptionally generous, kind, and patien
Pros:

We really liked the hotel. We really love the pool and lounge area. I do wish the pool hours were longer. I would’ve loved to sit on the rooftop at night to get some outdoor relaxing time. It was ridiculously hot on Sunday and Monday. We did not spend much time up there during the day.

Cons:

The street noise inside of the room was ridiculously loud. And I realize you can’t do anything about that, except the noise canceling sound machine in the earplugs already in the room. That was a great idea. For the most part, it worked the trash truck, however Monday morning at 5 AM was not canceled out by the noise machine. Booo One crazy silly thing about San Diego. I had the hardest time finding black iced tea. Which I found to be kind of crazy.

ESTANCIA INFERNAL NO APTA PARA QUIEN DESEA DESCANSAR
Pros:

Las instalaciones estan bien en general

Cons:

El ruido en la zona es infernal, tenía una reservación por tres noches a la primera noche quería salir corriendo de ahi, torretas de policía, musica descontrolada y gritos en la calle toda la noche. Me hicieron el cargo total por las tres noches, el personal del hotel cero empatico y me dijeron que ellos no podían resolver nada por que mi reserva fue hecha por Booking, acabé gastando el doble en hospedaje.

Overall great location, sweet staff , cute nice relaxing lobby quiet stay expect for the night life
Pros:

I loved the location I love how everything I was going to during my stay was only a couple mins away , I love the streaming source on the television bed was comfy . No complaints the staff gave me a free drink at the bar for my birthday which was really sweet .

Cons:

I didn’t like how expensive the valet was I just used uber this trip but for people visiting it’s a little crazy , and was also sad that you had to pay for breakfast when I booked I thought it was free breakfast , I didn’t get to see the roof top I didn’t know it closed so early so got to miss out what that experience was and the pool was closed my whole stay which is why I booked and the roof top .

Excelente ubicación y servicio
Pros:

En general muy bien todo pero destacable la atención de Silvia en el breakfast más allá que lo que sirven está al nivel del hotel

Cons:

Un poco alto el costo del parking, me parece que, sabiendo que no hay otra opción, deberían tener un precio más bajo
