We ate breakfast at the restaurant Mary Jane's. The food was good, and the service was good. The front desk staff were nice and responsive. Housecleaning did a great job and changed their schedule when we were not ready for the room to be cleaned.

Biggest thing I think is the valet parking is super steep. You shouldn’t have to park on an another block. Wasn’t a big deal just a lil something that would’ve made the stay that much better

The toilet smelly which appeared to be sewage issue. Minibar was packed with alcohol beverages which was not appropriate in our case given we had a young child and would have preferred an empty fridge that would have better meet our needs. Although a fridge was provided, there was no space to accommodate so unfortunately we declined. Overall it was our view that the hotel was not accommodating. I found the bell persons and cleaners were awesome!!

I thought breakfast was paid only to find out max $40 per couple which I can tell you it doesn’t go far in San Diego. My room looked out onto a very noisy railway which was not only the tram but the goods train which seamed miles long.
