Wonderful hotel that located close to everything (Inc trolleys and buses). Plus a great staff!
Pros:

We enjoyed the hotel, but the added plus was the microwave and fridge. We were able to eat leftovers. The desk staff was friendly, and helpful directing to trolley, bus, etc.

Cons:

That the hotel did not offer breakfast and parking is at a premium. We got lucky and got a “free” parking spot out front…we never moved our car.

Pros:

This hotel is in the perfect location for walking or riding a bike (free from the hotel). The staff was amazing! They gave helpful suggestions on places to visit and where to eat. The complementary beer/beverage and cookies were definitely a bonus.

I was very disappointed with the parking and bedding.
Pros:

When we checked in the clerks were very welcoming. They went out of their way to help us solve our parking issue.

Cons:

No valet! No parking! You had to find parking at public lots near by. Late in the evening we found overnight parking four blocks away.

All-in-all a great value being so close to everything in the GasLamp district.
Pros:

I liked (1) the decor; (2) cleanliness of the room; (3) beautiful setup of the room; (4) air conditioning; (5) the thermostat with the option for just air (not air conditioning) low or just high or automatic; (6) the body lotion in the bathroom; (7) the coffee setup; (8) being so close to everything in the GasLamp District! (9) only a 10 minute walk to the convention center.

Cons:

In Room 106, the (1) TV worked well but probably needed to be replaced since it had big white dots that looked like the sun was on a person's face. It wasn't really bad, though, just slightly annoying; (2) there was no iron and ironing board since I was there for a conference but I asked for one and within a few minutes, they appeared! Very responsive. TYSM! (3) I was on the first floor and I could see there was somewhat of an alleyway outside of my room so I closed the double blind and was fine.

Pros:

출장지가 샌디에고 컨벤션 센터였는데, 걸어서 갈 수 있을 정도로 위치가 좋았습니다. 공항과도 우버로 부담없는 거리였습니다.

Cons:

객실에 슬리퍼가 따로 없어서 아쉬웠습니다.

We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return.
Pros:

The location was perfect since we were to Petco Park. The price was reasonable for its location. The staff was very helpful, especially Alan. The room was comfortable and we were provided with everything we needed.

Cons:

We were lucky to find street parking because it's so expensive to park downtown.

Pros:

I stayed in a king suite and it was a pretty big room but it was a long room rather than big all over. I didn't mind it because it was still big anyway. The fridge and microwave were useful and clean. I wasn't aware how dog friendly the place is, i loved it and i know where ill stay if i visit san diego again with my fur baby.

Cons:

I stayed there for three days/ two nights and they didn't come not once to clean the room. Lots of positives but I REALLY didn't like that.
