I always have great expectations when a hotel is located on the water. This one was a mostly good experience. Our bay front room 2333 had wonderful view of the esplenade harbor and city, eve the pavilion where the San Diego symphony was performing on weekends. The room was standard with two beds, flat screen TV desk, safe and small dresser.
Now for the issues. I would have expected to have a mini bar or frig, but there was none. The front desk first said we could have one for extra cost, then renegged. The bathroom was fine except for the excessively bright lights. There is only one setting---full on and if using the bathroom during the night your eyes are blasted with this light. Worse, when the bathroom door is opened, the bright lights reflect directly into the bed closest to the bathroom. Extremely annoying.
The staff were very responsive. We had a stuck bathroom door and the technician repaired it properly. Elevators were efficient. I noted that the air conditioning system was a bit variable when left on a fixed setting, making the room temperature good for a while, then colder when left untouched.
Our room was fine overall but we really could have benefitted from having a frig. One final note--since I am a runner I really appreciated that there were excellent jogging paths along the entire marina all the way back to the airport.
