Joshua, San Diego

Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The whole stay was sort of up and down. The room initially had a contact lens on the bathroom counter, indicating that the cleaning before we checked in was not particularly thorough. The front desk staff seemed somewhat nonplussed about this. The beds were quite comfortable. We had a two king size bed suite and there was shockingly little storage space for the three of us. We ended up having to lie our suitcases on the ground and sort of live out of them during the time of that we were there. There was some minimal drawer space of one drawer and closet space but that would not have been enough for any of us individually. The hotel seems to have gone for style over substance. I found the music in the lobby to be somewhat overwhelming. I wish it had been more calming as opposed to some sort of house dance music. Breakfast in the restaurant was good and satisfying so that was a positive.

Room safe was at the level of my feet, panel fell off of the toilet flush, staff lied to me twice about turning over my room, mini bar fridge wasn't cold enough to preserve food. Lots of questionable design choices in my room. That said, the room was comfortable and I enjoyed my stay.
