Good view, basic stay.
Pros:

The view

Cons:

Room service is closed at 9pm. Also, starbucks that is in the hotel closes 4pm. Also, you need two elevators to reach your room. The cost of the valet was overpriced.

Great Facility and location but unprofessional staff that makes this un worth it
Pros:

the location is pefect, the food at tbe bar was great and the facility was great

Cons:

The staff is just unproffesional, to be honest I am so tiered of tell the story over and over and over again...
there is an overcharge of two days that booking.com and this property keep sending me back to one another, and no one at the hotel was even close to giving some kind of an answer that makes sense.
but what really really annoyed me is the fact that after back and forth with one of the managers, I asked to get an email with her answer so I can inform booking.com, she said she cannot... really ridiculse

Great spot for downtown access
Pros:

Fabulous views, great bar. Room was clean, comfortable.

Cons:

Getting into / out of the hotel requires transferring from one elevator from street or parking garage to 3rd floor lobby, different elevator to rooms. Waits were sometimes long . Bathroom was dimly lit.

Ist das Geld auf gar keinen Fall wert. Verkehr wie auf dem Bahnhof.
Pros:

Die Lage.

Cons:

Auf dem Flur und im Zimmer hat es nach Essen gerochen. Das Frühstück grauenhaft.

Pros:

I thought the place was comfortable, the upgrade to the club/lounge was worth it more so than paying for breakfast each morning. I love Spiga, as a local I go there every so often for a nice date night with my girl.

Cons:

I thought for the value it was over priced. I am also used to a different type of travel and this was more of a random stay-cation/anniversary stay. I typically would not spend this much on a place, and when I did this time around I did not think that it was worth the cost.

Great Downtown San Diego Bay Hotel next to the train station
Pros:

Nice hotel on the San Diego Bay and across the street from the Dowtown San Diego Santa Fe train station. Rooms have a view of the Bay and it’s about a 6 block walk to Little Italy. One negative are the number of homeless people in the area, especially at night when the sleep in front of the hotel back entrance.

Hotel is very nice!!
Pros:

Location very central. Rooms very large. Clean and no noise. Ate at restaurant and happy hour very good and affordable. Did not have dinner at the hotel. Parking easy, although around $50. Check-in easy and got an upgrade upon asking. Definitely would recommend.
