Hotels.com Is Terrible

Horrible due to Hotels.com not Hotel Alex Johnson. As I clicked the Reserve button on app, I saw that app had changed my requested dates. App chat box refused to let me cancel. So I’m out the $200+ fee since I was in a different state during reserved date. I will not be using hotels.com again ever — specifically using Expedia instead today for my next trip.

Right in the heart of downtown so was able to walk for meals. And parking was free on the weekends when we happen to be there so saved a little coin. Oh… but most of the shops were closed on Sunday too… that must’ve been why!

Renovate this place....please

The hotel attempts to be cool and modern. In truth, it is old and dilapidated. We had a suite with a shared bathroom between the two bedrooms. One of the two doors to the bedrooms would not close because the door jam has shifted over time. This is just basic maintenance and it is absolutely not a new phenomenon. The place could be cool but it needs a multi-million dollar make-over. The staff were also so tedious. Most were not from SD and it showed. They tried to be so trendy and cool that it ended up being ridiculous.

The issue was an SUV with a travel box couldn’t be accommodated at this hotel from a parking perspective. We had to park on the street. The manager was insisting that it was out of his ability to issue a refund so we could go to a hotel where the car could be stowed safely. This was a great example of profit over humanity. A mom and a young child were asked to park across the way l, didn’t feel safe to park outside of the hotel property.

”Historical” has its limits.

Great location in a historical property. “Historical” should be translated as small rooms with no desk and no chair. Refrigerator in our room didn’t work. Bathroom and main door stuck to the point that the main door needed to be shouldered to open it from hallway and heaved open from other side. Our “original” room was not ready for check-in at 4PM so we took first available and it was right next to elevator bank.
