The room itself was fine. No WiFi, no exercise room and the ice machine required an elevator and stairs to access the pool area. I book a room for their advertised amenities and they failed to provide internet? $16 a day to park in a garage filled with construction materials, really? Charged full price for everything and IHG failed to provide advertised services. Not happy

At the time of our stay the property was under renovation. This meant that there was some minor construction noise when we first arrived and there was a certain amount of circumnavigating that had to go into finding our way to the breakfast room on the second floor. The parking lot was also being used in part as a transitory holding area for new and old items moving in and out (toilets, night stands, etc.). That being said, we had a wonderful stay. The upgrade to the decor is very cool and charming. I loved the design and color/pattern choices for the furniture, curtains, wall paper, etc. My favorite part is the tangerine subway tile in the bathroom! Even with the items being stored in the parking lot, there was plenty of parking. The pool was not huge, but had the fun element of being on the second floor patio. The elevator is outdated and a bit rumbly, but in a charming sort of way. Perhaps it will also receive a facelift at some point in the remodel. We were able to walk to a local convenience store for snacks and catch a Lyft to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for the event we attended. All in all this was a quaint, lovely, and well-located hotel, and is bound to be even more lovely once the renovation dust settles.
