A spot for great location, fair cleanliness, and lovely staff.
Pros:

Staff and valet were excellent. The location of the hotel is satisfactory if you need to stay in the downtown area near Petco Park. The cleanliness of the room, bathoom, and linen, was pleasant.

Cons:

We didn't expect the bed to be so uncomfortable. One side of the bed was very hard, and the other was sunken in (heavily used). The shower drain had a bit of a hard time draining properly; it took a while. The only "safe" parking available is valet, and it is pricey at the daily rate.

Great experience
Pros:

Overall the stay was great, although I was on there for the weekend it was nice to feel relaxed and comfortable

Cons:

I did not like the parking situation I had to find street parking because it was $65 to stay over night and I thought that was expensive and I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about parking since I was staying at the property.

Nice sleeping quarters, no good food
Pros:

Great location and easy access to train, port, downtown.

Cons:

Drinking alcohol is the focus at the property. After a long day of travel you must leave to find any semblance of healthy food.
Could not find one green item on the 4 items on the tiny food menu.
Meanwhile There are @ 40 fancy high end liquor cocktails described in great detail. They don’t want to feed the hotel guests?? Only give them so much alcohol! Wow!
