The area around the block of the hotel is not safe to walk around and dirty. The room smelled really bad even after turning on the fan/AC. Even though upon reservation through Expedia it states you’re paying for 2 breakfast vouchers they only gave me 1 ticket and said it’s only for 1 plate and 1 drink. It’s not continental. Parking is Valet only $65 for 1 night.

The room was great. The staff was friendly and the check in process was smooth and the location was not as bad as I had thought it would’ve been based on the other reviews. The room service options were great, I highly recommend the chilaquiles. I did not get my complimentary bottle of wine at check in though so that’s why I deducted a star.

The hotel was nice, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. My only issues were the tiny bathroom sink with an awkward faucet - you really can’t wash your face easily, and the towel racks, which aren’t very functional. It was also a bit noisy at night due to the location.Other than those issues, it was a nice place to stay. Walking distance to most everything.

The hotel building is amazing and the lobby is one of the best I had seen. It can match a five star level. The location is not so ideal. Downtown San Diego has too many homeless people wondering in the dark. If you are looking for a place to sleep comfortably at night, this is indeed a good place. Not a good place to wonder outside at night with family.
