Construction and renovations in the hotel were really disturbing in the first two mornings during my stay. Somehow I was checked out the next day after check in, even though I was to stay there for three nights. I never checked out. Front desk said that they did not know what happened.

Hotel was very nice and staff were friendly. Check in/out process was very easygoing. My only concern is the parking structure. The parking structure is very tight and not suv/truck friendly. I would also add on that some of the outlets in the room were not working.

Waited for 45 minutes after check in time for the room to be ready, not only that was inconvenient because we had a padres games to go to but the whole time we were there, there was an annoying fire alarm going off due to “testing”. We thought we would make the most of it by going in the pool and the bar just to find out the hotel is getting renovated, so why charge me amenity pricing if not available?? The room itself was nice & had a cute balcony but we had to search 4 floors for the ice vending machine because everything was out of service even the elevators , GHETTO

Will go back when construction is done

Great location, nice rooms. Unfortunately they were under construction so there was no access to the gym, bar/restaurant, or pool. Their parking structure is not good if you have anything larger than a compact car.
