The property was lovely and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location of the property was also good, close to most attractions. Unfortunately, around the property there were too many homeless people, leaving us slightly uncomfortable when walking in the evenings.

Nice city to visit in September.

First time visiting San Diego for a getaway trip on our Anniversary week. Enjoyed our stay and the weather turned out very good. Older brick building that used to be an apartment complex. Very nice rooms w/ full kitchen and in great condition. We only spent two nights here, since we were on our way up the coast on our trip. Lots of things to do near the hotel.Ask about the city trolley tours.Enjoyed the on and off tour of old San Diego and waterfront.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It is right next to the airport so you do hear planes flying around and because it is the city you will see a lot of homeless. Room was very spacious and great for a long term stay.

Very nice place to stay

The timeshare flat was very comfortable with everything you needed. Always free coffee for the coffee machine. 2 times a week free treats in the reception area. Only 20 min walk from Gaslight and exhibition. Opposite to beautiful Balboa Park with Zoo.

This hotel had the most beautiful rooftop patio with bbq's, a sink area, loungers, tables and umbrellas, beautiful plants and cute lights at night. It was a 15-20min walk to the waterfront and about a 10min walk to 5th Avenue where there were tons of places to eat. Staff went above and beyond being friendly and efficient and helpful. I would definitely come back again!

Good prices and centrally located

The hotel was centrally located, close to many restaurants. Within walkable distance to downtown and Petco park, the bay, USS Midway Museum and Balboa Park. Room was very spacious, it included a kitchen and full size fridge, dishes, pots and pans, silverware and even dish soap and a sponge. The only negatives I found were lack of parking space (had to park off street and there was barely any spaces available). I had to park a block away and pay $8 for every 12 hours of parking. They also didn't have a pool nor did they offer breakfast. The rooftop terrace had an amazing view and they even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine (we were there on our honeymoon).

The hotel had an old world charm, very 1920's Art Deco style. However the rooms were modern with lots of amenities, like a full kitchen in the standard studio room. Also a sofa/bed. The room on the 4th floor was quiet although there was considerable traffic in the area. There was a large rooftop space with great views of San Diego. You could also grill or barbecue. Overall, a wonderful experience staying in this hotel that I highly recommend. Sorry, no pool but it does have a small fitness center.

The room was fine, I used the hotel for business and they require $10 a day for WIFI and I couldn't acquire a receipt from the front desk and the service did not provide through e-mail., little frustrating at check out. Wasn't clear that the WIFI was an extra fee

The location of the property is excellent. It has many facilities nearby: walking, eating, shopping. The staff is very friendly and inside the hotel the facilities are in good condition: gym, laundry. What we did not like was the air conditioning, it was turned off too regularly and the room was not kept comfortable.

This property was beautiful and had a kitchenette which really helped as I was visiting for an extended time. The concierge and front desk staff were ao accommodating and provided amazing advice and recommendations. The valet staff was so helpful and made sure guests safely got rides or on the road. The property was a little further out than i thought, but was still close enough to explore downtown on foot.
