I'm pretty easy and not too picky. I was there for 5 days. Just let me sleep and be honest about the prices and I am good. Their was and good and bad so here it goes:
Pros:
1) Great Location. Next to Jack in the box (my 15 yr old cherished that), a mexican food take out, and right behind is Little Italy. Two blocks from the bay and their is the Trolley station right behind the hotel. $5 and you can travel anywhere in San Diego for the whole day. I wish I would have done that before.
2) Staff: Very Friendly. We had trouble with our upstairs neighors who seem to pace heavily all night which caused me not the to sleep. We were there for a week and the front office said that they were too, they were happy to move us to a more quieter room. Anytime we needed help with anything, they did with smiles.
3) Beds Very comfortable.
4) Breakfast. Love free breakfast.
NEUTRAL:
1) The trains didn't affect me at all.
2) Wireless and land internet worked well.
3) The parking space. Almost every hotel that I have been in San Diego is cramped. That is just San Diego so I have no issue.
4) Overall rooms, could have been better, but I liked it. Stayed at Hampton Inn in Burbank and that hotel was awsome. A noticable difference.
5) The Pool was small, but that is San Diego.
Cons:
1) this one is not their fault, but the 4th of July fireworks missfired so there was no show. A major reason we chosed this location.
2) The elevators. The middle one never worked while I was there. One of the elevators had a "kick" to it when it stopped. Felt like your were going to drop.
3) The Killer to the deal. PARKING FEE's. We got charged for parking when we were told it was waived. We were down to 3 hotels for our one week vacation in San Diego. Hampton Inn deal was no charge for parking and free internet. We called up directly to the staff to verify the deal on the internet (priceline I think) for parking fee ($12 a day) was waived and they verified "yes". That was the deal maker to stay there. When we got the bill, they charged us for parking EVERY DAY. Me and my wife were very angry and she called up (we were travelling to stay in LA) and they said that they wish the internet would take the off that part(false advertising maybe?). Then, they denied when we called that anyone confirmed the parking fee was waived.
Other than the parking fee (next time, i will get a name to verify), this would have been a higher rating.
So, take this review any way ya like it. If I stay again, i will verify the parking fee in writing and get a name.
