Guest Reviews
it was quiet
it looked old and dingy. Beds uncomfortable.
Loved the location and the history of the building and all the spooky tales. Room was cute and clean, staff was so friendly.
My only complaint has to be the bed, it wasn't that comfortable. Although, I appreciate the plastic around the mattress, the bed itself wasn't very comfortable.
Great location for train/bus travelers because it is just across the street from a major transit hub. The Old Town Park was very nice, lots of things to do and see. The room itself was fine.
The breakfast was pretty much non-existent; just chocolate chip scones, mini croissants, coffee and tea. The least they could have added was cereal! How about some fruit? There is NO cleaning while you have the room, NO ONE comes to make the bed, refresh towels, etc. Checking in is confusing because there is NO ONE at the hotel, you have to call the number on the sign outside to get checked in. This is something that you should know BEFORE you reserve a room. Also, be aware that the park is very close to the I5 freeway and therefore noisy late into the night.
Beautiful room. Quirky Hotel. Right in the centre of Old Town.
Free Car Parking. Great view over the park. Feels secluded even tho there's lots of shops and restaurants nearby.
Felt like we were the only ones in the Hotel.
No TV in Room.
Hotel was closed but one phone call and staff arrived to get us all set up.
Breakfast was self service and minimal but still very tasty,
Historic rooms.
The hotel is understaffed. When I arrived there at 3pm there was nobody there. I had to call a number and leave a voice mail. The hotel did not inform me of this strange practice ahead of time. After checking in, it feels awkward being the only person in this large historic building.
This hotel is so beautiful and well maintained for being a historical site! I absolutely loved the courtyard area with the sitting area and gorgeous plants. Everything was nice and clean. The hotel was quiet and peaceful. Just the vibe of the hotel alone was magical.
Our bed was comfortable. The staff were great and check-in and out was very simple and fast.
The parking situation was difficult when we arrived for check-in. The listing said it included free parking but we had to keep circling around the small parking lot to snag a spot. It seemed all the tourists have access to the same parking lot. I wish they had their own separate parking for guests only.
Also, I didn't find any drinking water available in the hotel during the night.
I only stayed at the Cosmopolitan Hotel for one night, but I enjoyed my time there. It has a unique theme a decor. Moreover, though I arrived after normal check-in time, the staff arranged a creative work-around to assist me.
Some of the furnishings did show obvious wear-- not enough to make them less useful, but enough to be noticeable.
The location was difficult to find using Google maps because the property is not located on a specific road.
Location and courtyard
Difficulty contacting staff on arrival
Very clean very good breakfast also great place definitely will be going back
Nothing
I arrived at the hotel around 7:00 PM, and it was closed, even though check-in time was until 9:00 PM. I called the phone number on the door, but no one answered (voicemail). I spent about 20 minutes walking around and knocking on doors, but the only attention I got was from park security.
It started raining, and I was forced to leave and look for another hotel.
At 11:00 PM, the manager sent me self check-in instructions, but at that point they were no longer useful.
The next morning at 9:00 AM, I came back again and spoke to a cleaner, who said the manager was not there and she could not help.
The hotel refused to issue a refund via Booking.com, so I will have to dispute this as fraud.
Thank you for this great experience upon arrival in San Diego.
Sehr gut. Ein historisches Erlebnis.
