My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was amazing, close to the Museum of Natural History and convenient for freeway access to downtown attractions. The staff was always polite and helpful, though some disruptions by early room service were a downside. The dining experience was fantastic with great burgers, but the room's lack of essential items and cleanliness issues made the stay uncomfortable.

The hotel's location near San Diego's major tourist attractions is convenient, but the rooms fall short in terms of quality and maintenance issues. Despite being close to key spots, the lack of room upkeep and some security concerns are notable drawbacks. The service was efficient but lacked warmth and encountered pricing discrepancies, impacting the overall experience. The dining options were limited to basic meals, and the facilities need improvements for a better stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The non-smoking king room I booked was surprisingly nice, quiet, and comfortable for the price. However, the cleanliness was a major issue with stains in the bath, on the walls, and bedding. The thin walls made it hard to ignore outside noise, like a cell phone conversation near our room.

The location was convenient for my plans but came with noise disturbances. The dining experience offered tasty dishes but lacked breakfast information.
