I've stayed in this hotel before, in July 2010 when my daughter got married. The staff and hotel was just as nice then as today. This is my preffered hotel in San Diego.

Dear Cristi, I'm sorry that our accommodations were not to your liking and disappointed you. We do our very best to provide remarkable rooms and a pleasant stay, but we clearly fell short of our goal. Your feedback is welcomed as it encourages improvement for future visits. We hope to see you again to provide the pleasant stay our guests have come to expect and deserve. Sincerely, Justin Gentry General Manager

We arrived at 1:30 pm and couldn't get in our room right away. At check in there were three people behind the counter, all seeming to be involved with one guest. We then had to leave the property to get a decent meal, your restaurant doesn't open until 6:00 pm. After asking several times for a paper menu (I refuse to scan a QR for a menu) the offerings were not appealing. (We didn't eat in your restaurant at all.) Once in the room I had to fix your toilet which was leaking onto the floor. We had to listen to your elevator bang up and down all night. It sounded like a hammer on the wall.

Property is old and unclean. Pictures are very deceiving rooms are over priced Internet is not free. You have to upgrade to a premium membership of about $13 hidden fee. Two of the room lights were broke the shower filthy. toilet was unclean actual fecal matter remnants disgusting. carpet was filthy didn’t want to takeoff my shoes. This hotel is very uncomfortable. Extremely disappointing.
