I booked this hotel through Expedia and got a whopper of a bargain. One thing to note is that there are a variety of rates available - some include breakfast, some don't. Mine did not, but it turned out to be a non-issue since my days started at 5am. In general, I found the staff to be very kind and helpful. When I checked in, the lady at the front desk gave me a choice of the two rooms that were available at the time. That's something you rarely get to do. In the lobby, there are two computers for guests to use. When the mouse stopped working on one machine, Cory immediately went looking for a spare mouse for the computer. I personally liked the room. The things that are important for me in a hotel room are a comfortable bed and cleanliness. I don't mind the fact that there wasn't a flat screen TV. Since decor is based on personal taste, I've included pictures of my room so you can be the judge. The alarm clock had an iPod docking station.
Now the reason why I didn't give the hotel a higher rating. The hotel has exterior corridors, so noise can be much more of an issue. The first night I was there, I did not have an issue with noise. Unfortunately, during the rest of my stay in San Diego, 10,000 athletes also came to San Diego and there were quite a few staying at the Radisson. I did not appreciate the fact that there were kids running up and down the corridors and yelling late at night in light of the fact that I had early mornings. The only way I was able to sleep was to use my noise cancelling earphones. The issue just might be the timing of my visit. I did talk to people that stayed in other hotels during the same period, and quite a few had the same issue.
