positive:
It's in a great location
Previous guests loved the centralized location of this hotel, which made it perfect for visiting all of the many attractions in San Diego. They also appreciated that, traffic depending, it was only 20 minutes away from the airport, and easily accessible off of the five freeway.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Ill-fitting doors
A few guests noted that the door to their room had a rather large gap at the bottom, with some claiming it was big enough to stick their hand through. This caused issues with draftiness, sound carrying from the hallway outside, and light shining through at night.
negative:
They hide the refrigerator
Many reviewers lamented that their room did not have a refrigerator, and perplexing complaint as the hotel's website claims that all the rooms have them. As it turns out, the refrigerator is located in the closet in some of the rooms, making it needlessly difficult for guests to find.
negative:
The decor is a bit dated
Some previous guests complained that the overall style of the hotel was beginning to look out of date, with furniture, decorations, and bedding that strongly reminded them of the late 80's or early 90's. They would have preferred a more modern look.
