We have been staying at this hotel for probably 40 years. I started when I was a child. As a matter of fact I wrote a glowing review last year. We travel to San Diego once a year in December to take in a Chargers game. We were very disappointed with our stay this year. The hotel was virtually empty. Several of their restaurants were closed for renovation and the ones that were open were short staffed. Both of their gift shops were closed. Our room smelled like a skunk and the air conditioning didn't work so the room became quite hot. The decor is outdated but somewhat charming and the grounds are just as beautiful as ever. There was only one person working the front desk for check in and questions. I had other family members stay there as well and they considered the place a "dump" and "over priced for what you got". I'm saddened to say, I am not sure if I will return. As we traveled to the Charger game along the trolley we were checking out other hotels along the way.
