This is possibly the best hotel you could stay in if you are planning to attend the San Diego Comic-Con and could not afford the unbelievably expensive hotels around the Convention Center. Still is a bit pricey; however, the amenities that come with this place will make this the “best value” hotel to make your Comic Con experience memorable and stress-free. First , it is a mere three miles from the airport and is near the Free Shuttle Bus stop to SDCC. The hotel has a nice modern look to it, with a restaurant at the lobby where you can have a heavy breakfast before heading to the Con. Theirbreakfast menu was delish, I didn’t even venture out anymore on any of the nearby brekkie joints. Just outside the elevator to my floor is a wall mounted ice and water dispenser . The hotel also replenished my water bottles (or should I say, Cartons) daily so I always had fresh water in my room. The King Bed City View room I had was chic and sizable . Room temp was nice and cold to offset the city’s summer heat, and I’m glad the staff gave me extra comforters and pillows. The walls were not entirely noise proof and I could still hear some muffled conversations but thank goodness not to the point of vulgar disruption. The room Tv has several channels but I was left wishing for a more extensive cable lineup. Wi-Fi signal was pretty good. Water pressure was decent. Thank goodness they also have a Keurig CoffeeMaker; however, the refrigerator was not cold enough. Bed is clean, very comfortable, no dust, no strange smells and no scratch marks. Staff and Valet have been courteous, amiable and responsive.The neighborhood also had a nearby Rite Aid Pharmacy, a Starbucks, a 7-11 store, a nice Mediterranean kebab place for any late to-go meal. The Little Italy Trolley Station that takes you to the rest of San Diego or Bus Depots uptown for that Los Angeles day trip is also a 7-minute walk from the hotel.

1.) The Bathroom was very nice EXCEPT for that hideous framed art they had that looks like a cross between an alien starfish lifeform, a parasitic worm and an eyeball looking at you - why in the world their interior designer chose this was beyond me; it actually startled me on a few occasions at night when I had to use the toilet. 2.) The Swimming Pool was closed and it was the middle of Summer!

We stayed a a night with our family dog. Our dog was so welcome and that made us happy. Of course the staff welcomed us, the two-legged as well. The room was immaculate. The pool area was very nice, cozy and well shaded due to its location. We walked towards the ocean easily and to Little Italy area for wonderful restaurant experiences, wine bar and bakery. Overnight street parking was possible (free after 6:00 pm and Sunday). Stayed for only one night but thoroughly enjoyed the stay and the hospitality.. Every dollar spent was so worthwhile.

Nothing except that the sink in the bathroom drained a little slowly.

Modern rooms and facilities. The gym was amazing.

- the tv broke in our room. Facilities said they would come back to fix it, never did. - housekeeping grabbed my swimsuit accidentally, when I asked if they had it they never bothered to look for it again or follow up with me. $100 down the drain. - shower leaked really badly onto the bathroom floor

The carte hotel was chic as much as it was safe, clean and a wonderful place to stay in downtown San Diego. The staff was always helpful with a smile and we found easy parking (paid) down the block. We were in easy walking distance to the harbor and little Italy. Our room had everything we needed with a great view if the city. The food at both restaurants and staff were excellent. We only wish we had more time to explore San Diego. So many great neighborhoods and dining options. The hotel was a gem!!

Location good, only restaurant available was freezing because open to the outside at ceiling level. Food choice limited, but what we had was decent. Rooms and service were great!

One restaurant was closed and only one available was open at the ceiling level so was freezing cold…. Also, didn’t expect all the add on costs such as destination fee, $65 parking etc….

very nice lobby area, clean rooms, parking on site. charged our ev car overnight as part of the valet fee, destination fee included food and beverage credit, staff all friendly and attentive

elevators were dirty, a used hair conditioner in the bathroom that was left instead of being replaced and had hair in it, gross

- The location. It is right next to Little Italy and my favorite restaurant there Vinarius. - The gym was great too. Most of the visitors are paid members. Big and well equipped.

- The mattress seemed old. Highly skewed towards the nightstand, apparently due to heavy use. - I found the restaurant disappointing. - Valet parking was expensive. Figuring out alternative parking was not trivial if you want to guarantee car safety.

Excellent location and walking distance to Little Italy. The property has a rooftop bar and restaurant. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Would stay at this property again!

Service at the rooftop bar can be a little slow. I believe this is a staffing issue.

Location , clean

did not like the valet parking drop-off area. Because it’s located downtown on a tight street, there isn’t much space to open the car doors and safely take a child out, especially when the next car is so close. It felt unsafe and stressful when unloading with kids.

Great location with very clean rooms and facilities as expected. Breakfast was good but expensive. All the staff were very nice except the two ladies on reception when it came to checking out. It's a shame because it negates all the hard work of the other staff.
