Every other place in a 30 mile radius of downtown was booked on this summer weekend (what idiot put SD Gay Pride and Street Scene - two of the biggest events of the year - on the same weekend). We paid $180/night for a room with a single (full size?) bed for Saturday night. Arrived around 4 pm. Assigned to room 302 - third floor above office next to a stairway. Room smelled musty. Went to wash up and head out. Water worked for 5 minutes, then stopped. After trying faucets, toilet, and shower, went downstairs to the front desk where they said the city was working on some pipes and water would be back in 10 minutes. It took 20 minutes. Initial water was brown. Ended up brushing my teeth with bottled water. No apologies from desk person. Water pressure died again when I was washing my face. If there was another room at a reasonable price anywhere in town I would have left to find it.
Also, when I used the restroom, there was a t-shirt hanging on the hook on the back of the door. From a previous guest, I assume. I guess housekeeping doesn't clean very thoroughly. I'm also used to places that change the toilet paper roll when it gets below 1/4 roll or so. Not here.
Guests should be asked to use ONE parking space when the place is booked up. A few folks with monster trucks felt the need to take 2. When I returned to the room at about 2:30 am, I squeezed into the last space in the lot. A few cars that came in after me were forced to park on the street.
Beware of continental breakfast. Noticed on Saturday afternoon that they were restocking for Sunday morning. No wonder the pastries were stale! And something as simple as having a trashcan in the breakfast room (to toss food, jam containers, etc.) might cut down on the insect/rodent problem.
The plus side - high ceilings made room (especially bath) feel much larger. I like the green tile in the bathrooms. A bit confusing to find (print out directions on hotel website). But freeway close, and only 10 mins from downtown.
Bottom line - even for 50 or 60 bucks a night I wouldn't stay there again.
