Unforgettable moments
Pros:

The location is excellent, right in the city center. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the staff are very friendly. Ms. Farah at the reception was wonderful; she provided excellent service and a warm welcome, and her manner of interacting with us truly delighted us. Thank you.

Tolles Hotel in guter Lage
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sehr groß und geräumig und gut aufgeteilt. Es war gut ausgestattet, es war sogar eine kleine Küche dabei. Die Aussicht war super, die Lage ist mitten in DownTown und das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sauberkeit war hoch und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis hat gut gepasst!

Good experience and all round a good hotel
Pros:

Location is city based, customer service was great and the staff was amazing all round. Enjoyed the stay and was well worth going. Close to a couple beaches when traveling with a car but not walking. Near the museums and restaurants all around the area.

DONT STAY HERE, INSTEAD GO TO HYATT MARINA SPA
Pros:

Staff was okay

Cons:

Worst hotel parking in San Diego. The parking structure was designed for small compact cars. If you have a SUV or truck, you will have to curb rash your rims in order to get to the parking structure, as it is a spiral seven stories up, (your car door mirrors are about 4 to 6 inches from scraping the wall)

Not to mention, there is only one trolley cart for the entire hotel. So you will have to stand in front with all your luggage for about 20 minutes until one is ready for you.

The room size was the biggest issue for me, we paid $1800 ( 2 nights total) and in the pictures the room is labeled as a suite. The bathroom was bigger than the living room.

But it is so small and cramped, this room is not designed to have any company it would be for a couple that is only staying for one night that it’s not planning on parking or driving their car

Not only was it a very tight spot to park, and the room was extremely small and cramped, but the room would not cool down, even if the AC was turned on full blast

The AC vents only cooled down the room where you sleep, but do not cool down the living room, which gets it very hot quick.

I RECOMMEND STAYING AT THE HYATT MARINA SPA INSTEAD TO GET A TRUE LUXURY HOTEL FEEL

Not for business trips
Pros:

If you are from out of town flying in, and not self parking, this may be right for you. The room itself is wonderful. The Suite with a King sized bed was like a nice mini apartment and had plenty of space for me to work and to relax a bit.

Now because I drove down to San Diego for a work trip, I did NOT like my choice to stay at this property. Just be aware, if you drive yourself and park yourself, the parking lot is SUPER TIGHT to maneuver through and the spaces are tiny. Entering and exiting the narrow winding tunnels was a nightmare. Once you understand the elevator system you are able to get to where you need to go. The lobby starts on the 12th floor and you take a different elevator to the hotel rooms.

Food at the in house restaurant was good and the dining area was very nice.

As for the employees, everyone was very pleasant and yes, I was asked a few times to sit through a 90 minute presentation but I couldn’t because I was there to work off property. Otherwise I would have lived to hear what they offered.

I can see how this would be a lovely place to stay as long as you are dropped off by a taxi or Uber. My Sunday/Monday night rates were very affordable and the rooms are clean and updated. I had a nice City View and got to watch plans descend. If the parking wasn’t an issue I would rate it a 4/5.
