The breakfast service was extremely slow, there were only two vegetarian options. Even after having a breakfast package in our booking, we could not choose what we wanted. Poor service overall.

The French patisserie across the street is amazing! Ming helped us get just the room we needed and went out of her way to be sure we were happy with our room. The hotel is beautiful and the views from the top floor where we stayed were amazing! My wife said is was the best night's sleep she has ever gotten in a hotel. We will definitely be back.

The hotel itself is really nice - updates rooms and great location. The room service/hotel staff fell short. Big time. Took 1.5 hours to get more towels because they only gave us one hand towel to begin with. Room service didn’t show up the first day (you have to request in advance which we did) and when they did show up they did a minimum job. They took our soap but don’t leave a new one and they never put more coffee, coffee cups, etc. everything had to be requested and they took hours to get it to you. So annoying.

Spotlessly clean, great staff, excellent beds. The location couldn’t be better. The only criticism I have is the parking garage - taking a large vehicle in (and out) is a challenge because of tight corners and extremely narrow ramps.

I just stayed overnight this weekend. The remodeling is done and the interior is nice for both the lobby and room. I like to give a shout out to Ming (trainee I believe) at the service desk. She took her time to help me resolve a non-hotel related problem and fixed one of my headaches for the trip. The staff ensured that our stay was comfortable with quick and courteous service. Check in/out was speedy and the site is right next to Little Italy, making it very easy to find a decent restaurants. Special mention: if you're parking, make sure your vehicle is smaller than a mid-size SUV. Parking is narrow like other guests have mentioned. Overall a great experience and would return on my next San Diego visit.

There was a lot of noise so I guess the walls and windows were thin. I was trying to wind down after a very long day of traveling and I heard loud partying almost as if they were on my balcony. The ice machine in the 19th floor didn't work. The last thing I wanted to do was get in the elevator visiting each floor until I found an operational ice machine. I finally called the front desk and a nice gentleman got some for me. But the thing that really irritated me was being charged $40 for parking. I was literally there for 10 hours. The hotel wasn't cheap but adding a $40 extra fee to park seemed a little extreme. And don't even get me started on the ramp to get to the parking levels. It was obnoxiously narrow to the extent I had to backup so many times just to avoid hitting the walls.
