The professionalism of staff and their kindness. Location of the hotel to our activities. The pool/spa did not have towels. There was a basket overflowing of used towels but no clean ones.

We enjoyed staying here during our family trip! Super convenient location. The property was nice and clean. We enjoyed the pool and the gym! And sweet greens and shake shack nearby :) There was something for everyone.

Our check-in experience wasn’t the best, as the receptionist was not particularly welcoming. However, the woman assisting us at check-out was very friendly and pleasant, which was appreciated. The bed was firmer than I prefer, though I realize mattress comfort is subjective. One concern worth mentioning is that the bathtub was extremely slippery when entering and exiting. My husband and I are both active and had difficulty maintaining our footing, so I could see this being a safety concern for some guests. The one positive was that the hotel was relatively quiet, although the air conditioning ran continuously throughout the night and helped mask any outside noise. Overall, the property did not meet our expectations, and unfortunately, we would not choose to stay here again.

Breakfast was good, could have had a few more options, instead of just eggs though. Maybe French toast or pancakes as well. The room had a horrible view of the rooftop, and it was not as big as I was expecting for a hotel like this.

Room was clean, front desk was super nice and helped me check in a bit early. The fridge and microwave in the room are just okay (fridge doesn't get very cold), but got the job done. Loved my stay! It's only a few minutes from a trolley station which is great.

Beautiful hotel with great staff. Very clean and located in such an accessible location! Close to downtown, La Jolla, Coronado island, mission beach and many other attractions. Highly recommend.

Our second stay on the last few years and we’ll be back. It’s the perfect location with Old Town right across the streets and the trolly a block away for an easy trip to downtown or up the coast.

The front staff was great. House keeping only came once in a 5 night stay. They did a fire alarm check then room had funky smell. They charged a daily parking fee. I paid for a room that should be my parking fee. Water pressure would come and go down even to a dribble. I’ve stayed in nicer motels.

Good restaurant on premises that stays open until 10pm very convenient. Weekdays breakfast begins at 6 AM. Very good if on business. Fitness facility a bit skimpy but you can certainly get in a light work out. Overall great value and very well kept. No automatic room clean service each day. I found that a little surprising. Parking charges seem excessive and parking lanes way to narrow.

The hotel is seriously outdated — feels like it hasn’t been updated since the 80s. It’s clean, but worn down and honestly one of the more run-down places I’ve stayed at. Don’t expect anything modern. Staff wasn’t very friendly, which didn’t help. Parking is $27 a day, which adds up fast — another $90 I wasn’t expecting. Beds are mediocre at best. Flat pillows and you can feel the springs in the mattress. We paid around $600 for 3 nights, and with parking it was closer to $700+. For that price, you can absolutely find a much nicer place. Only real upside is the location — close to the trolley and about 10 miles from most places you’d want to go. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Definitely a great property to stay at. Friendly staff, nice amenities, centralized in a good area. The only issue I have is with the parking. Although the rate was much better than surrounding properties we had our rental vehicle broken into the first night we stayed there. I did info the front desk and asked if there was cameras but i was told where we parked our vehicle at the rear of the property there was no cameras there. That's the only issue i have. Although we didn't lane anything in the vehicle it still was unsettling.

Room was ok. Lampshade had stains and some of the lamp chargers didn’t work near the bed. All in all it was close to where we wanted to walk to but probably would stay somewhere else next time. There was also a dog across the hall that was barking from around 7 pm to 9:30 pm.

Pool was great. They didn’t keep it up very well, but it was nice during the day. It was too cool at night but we enjoyed the hot tub. Staff was great but there is zero amenities really they had coffee in our room and that’s pretty much it they have coffee in the morning downstairs and they should switch it over to water and tea and have that available all day. It’s very warm. It’s nice to have water with lemon or something in a big container to fill your water bottles with.

Hotel was great until the last night. They were replacing the AC condenser which they communicated well. It wasn’t done on time and everything went downhill from there. We were told multiple times it would be done. It wasn’t. Asked for a fan or another room that may have a window and there wasn’t which is okay but the communication was awful. In the morning we were told they would comp our last night and then just received a notice from Travelocity denying our refund for the last night.

Fantastic hotel with comfortable, spacious, clean and renovated rooms. Loved the entrance decor and furniture. Felt safe. It was convenient to walk to Old Town and the perfect location close to the beaches. I didn't use the pool since I went to Mission Beach and La Jolla Beach instead. When I come back to San Diego, I would love to stay here again!

We were assigned room 126. If this is ever the case at this hotel, ask to change rooms immediately, unless you need to be up at 4:30 am.

Wasn't a great night stay!

The ONLY item missing on a hot day is available ice water (with lemon slices) in the lobby. I was directed to the Fitness Center for a cup of ice water. Otherwise we shall certainly book a room there next time we visit family in San Diego.

I enjoyed the option to purchase buffet breakfast. I wish there were options for guests that don't eat pork or meat substitute. The location of the hotel was convenient to Old Towne activities.

Room was large and very clean and quiet. I felt the workers at front desk could have been a little more helpful. Would stay here again. Conveniently located across the street from Old Town San Diego.

Bed was hard as a rock and didn’t get rest would like a refund.

Cons: No air ventilation in the bathroom or room in general. Windows do not open so no fresh air comes in the room. Due to this the hotel hallways and room was stuffy and stinky at times. Last two days of our 5 day stay were loud at night.

More selections in the little store. Prices were very high. $5 for a bag of Cheetos!

Room was a comfortable setting. Bed frame was very squeaky and needs replacement. I had stayed at another Hilton in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and I encountered the same issue at this location. Body wash is always out and not replenished throughout the stay. Front desk employees were attentive, made small conversations but nothing that stood out. For the price… I’m not sure I would go back or try another hotel.

The biggest problem we had with this hotel is we had 2 room changes because the first 2 had a strong smell of BO, enough to jolt you the moment you walk into the room. We had book this same hotel a few years back and had the same issue. When leaving looking out the second room and uncomfortable with having to ask for another room change, I saw one of the cleaning lady’s cleaning a room and her room smelled like Clorox and recently cleaned. We requested her room without realizing that it only had a king bed and sofa bed when we really needed 2 queen beds. We settled there because we did not want to ask for a 3rd room change. This room was clean an overall we made the best of it since we usually just go to old town when we come down there. Disappointed with this hotel, bc I want to like it.

It looks better in the pictures. The jacuzzi was not even hot, the pool seems like it was not heated, and the fire pits didn’t even work. Over priced in my opinion.

I liked that hotel is walking distance from old town but not worth the overwhelming price being that most all old town restaurants and stores close at 930 with the exception of may one or two restaurants that close at 10.with that being said $400 a night is not worth it

I had bought it reserved a king size bed for my wife and I and our little daughter. The first night they gave our king bed to other guest, they provided 2 queens but we're tall people. Our daughter fell off the bed and the sécond night, they almost gave our king sized bed again, if it were not for my wife who called multiple times to save our bed. They were going to give it away! I would not recommend this hotel to my family or friends. Also the guy at night was pretty stern and rude about not having our king size available. Also our daughter is special needs and we were not happy when she fell off the bed in her sleep. We almost took her to the ER but she calmed down after 10 mins of crying !

$20.00 for parking. Won’t be back. Parking should be a given when traveling. And the person checking us in asked is a $20 parking charge OK? I said what if I say no so we really didn’t have a choice

We booked a "Drinks and Snacks" room and this option should have had the drinks and snack in the room upon arrival. Also, a daily restock. However, upon arrival there were no snacks or drinks in the room. I called the front desk and no one was answering as they were attending to others. I waited in line then waiting for the "room service" to provide the snacks. I waited and the lady in the front desk said that she will have them take us the snacks and drinks. The snacks and drinks never came. I had to go back down later at night to ask for what the room rate included. I waited and was given a "back-up" tray. The next day there were still no snacks or drinks restocked in our room. I went back downstairs to the front desk to ask for the drinks and snacks again. It was too cumbersome for the rate they charged me to have a "Drinks and Snack" room.

There are 2 things that we did not like. 1. The beds. We had 2 queen size beds and they were both too soft. We would prefer firmer beds as the next day, we woke to back pain. 2. We kept hearing the people above us walking around. No voices, just walking around. Besides those 2 things, everything else was great.

Room 202 had a leaky toilet that kept filling all night making it hard to sleep.

Shower door frame needs attention. Water leeks and pools outside in the corner. Which will cause mold. The water turned off while my husband was taking a shower. It eventually turned back on. That was weird.There was a consistent humming noise. I'm not sure where it was coming from but it kept my husband awake Room 406

Room wasn't ready at check-in. Waited an hour for room to be clean so we could check-in. Front desk didn't seem to care. Was waiting in loby and never did they come over and update us on room. I finally went over to ask. They said a room just opened up.
