Loved it......I stayed for business purposes. I am a 24 year old women who was traveling alone. I felt safe and loved how hip the hotel was. The pool bar was hot and was filling with young people :)
The good-location, staff, room(so-so).The pool is not much larger than a backyard play pool and just jammed with 20-30 year old rich kids. There are very few chairs and the ppol area is an ightclub for the public in the evening. This place is probably excellent if you are 20ish and want an upscale(18 for chips and dip) stay. It does have its good qualities, but we will not stay here again. We wanted some quality pool time and that was not doa able here...not to mention, inside the pool was a disgusting black oil ring above the water line...ick.this is anice place, but it is slanted towards a young, hip crowd....hey, I forgot to mention that they do not leave towels on check out day. Want to shower before leaving? forget it.
GREETED FRIENDLY.ROOM TO HOT DIDNT COOL DOWN IN 3 DAYS REPEATED CALLS FOR REMOTE TOILET,TO HOT.FINAL STRAW BED BROKEN POPPED AND SNAPPED WHEN YOU TURN OVER.THEY DID COMP 1 DAY TO MUCH HASTLE WOULDNT GO BACK!
Rooms were comfortable an d great. Front desk and cocierge sevice was a little slow. Parking was 30 a night for hotel guests, found that a little steep. Hotel is perfect if you're going to a Padres game.
Its a great hotel with beautiful rooms great service and and friendly atmosphere. It wasnt exactly what we wanted with the partying. Its for the younger generation but the hotel and rooms are just beautiful . I recommend it to anybody whos young
Very impractical d?r ? and they nickel and dime you to death (they charge for toiletries!). The d?r was ?gloomy modern? (very uncomfortable atmosphere). There was only one drawer in the room (the nightstand)! There were so many decorative pillows, we had to stuff them under the desk to use the bed (which made the desk unusable). The sink was shallow and splattered everywhere. Dining was expensive. Parking was valet only and cost 24/day (we found a nice parking garage 1.5 blocks north for 9/night). I checked out with 66 in extra charges, but my credit card was charged almost 200.
