Hotel Indigo is a really nice mid size hotel, perfectly located one block from Petco Park Stadium, two blocks from the Gas Lamp District and a 20min walk down to the water.
-Indigo has one of the best interior designs of a hotel I've seen. The furnishings and decor are all really current whilst remaining warm. The room I stayed in was impressive and generous in size considering I purchased a 21-day advance pre-pay rate. It felt like a home rather than a hotel. It definitely had a "wow" factor AND whats even better is that it was "wow" and functional (as opposed to the Andaz's fabulous but ridiculous in-room showers).
- The hotel is extremely well equipped, with a gym, a fabulous rooftop bar, a modest gym and even a meditation balcony. The downstairs cafe is reasonably priced and the staff were lovely.
- You need a cab to get to other attractions like San Diego Zoo (was $12) and the Hillcrest District (was $16).
A few minor things to be aware of (and this is nitpicking):
(1) the rooms have no fridge. You're reliant on the old-school ice bucket. Very odd for such a nice hotel.
(2) no face washers supplied. Just you and the soap!
(3) in any hotel, not everyone gets a view of course, but one half of level 2 rooms stare straight onto a concrete roof with air vents. A hotel of this calibre could probably put in some simple greenery / hedging to mask this. The room is just so nice, it's a shame to open the blind and see a concrete abyss.
(4) the air con is great but it only temporarily let's you lower the temperature from the preset 72 degrees F which I found a bit hot.
These are all minor matters and I would definitely stay a Indigo again.
