Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego
"Great location and rooms in good shape. Check in was smooth. Only downside: Parking sucks. Tiny, tiny parking stalls. Valet parking first three floors and mostly empty, everyone else has to squeeze into a small stalls and suffer dings to both sides of their vehicle."
