The description of the amenities for the hotel included an onsite restaurant, a gym and a pool. These affected my decision to book this hotel over othersI was considering in the area, so imagine my surprise when NONE of these were available and "under construction.". While it's nice that these mean improvements to the hotel which will benefit future occupants, it did nothing for me. The free breakfast was a nice gesture, although it consisted of carb-heavy options such as fruit, bagels, juice boxes and yogurt. No hot food such as eggs or breakfast meats. Better than nothing, but worth noting if this is a consideration when comparing hotels. Reasonably clean overall, although the frame around my bed was a little dusty. Clean, comfortable room regardless. Plenty of great eating spots a few blocks from the hotel, although the immediate surrounding area outside the hotel near the expressway had homeless tents and seemed a bit desolate after dark. overall, not a bad experience and the staff was exceptional, but absent the features I mentioned, there might be better options until the construction is finished.

It was under renovation, so the pool, restaurant, and gym were not available. I specifically chose the hotel because it was supposed to have a pool. Also, the refrigerator in our room did not work, nor did the ice machines on many of the floors.

Went to San Diego for a padres game and the San Diego zoo. The hotel was perfectly placed but that’s about it. Great restaurant locations within walking distance, the hotel was unfortunately under construction and had zero amenities, the showers didn’t drain well nor look very clean. Construction workers began very loud tools at about 8am every morning. I know they will be better when renovations are done but I wish they advertised that they weren’t fully equipped before booking.

What we liked about this property was that we were given a room on a high floor with a gorgeous city view. The location was also very convenient because we were close to all of the restaurants in little Italy. What we did not like about this property was the parking lot. The entrance to the parking lot was so narrow and you could see skid marks on the walls from other cars that hit. There was also construction going on early in the morning which affected our rest. Thankfully the manager, Maryanne, was very understanding and was able to provide us our desired resolution. Probably would not stay here again until the construction is completed however we did love the location.

Hotel is newly remodel; rooms are new and clean beds. The balcony view was nice. The only thing didn't like is that you are able to hear the other room people talking.
