Worst hotel and staff
The stay was horrible. The first room they gave me smelled like pee and there were stains on bedding. So when I asked if I could be moved the front desk guy Oscar or Cesar gave me attitude didn’t really want to give me another room. Finally, another person came over gave me another room. Then they told me that parking was very limited even though I had paid for the parking I had gotten a ticket and my other business partner got towed because they told us to park over in a certain section, when I asked for corporate number, they wanted to give it to me one of the guys corporate number. Imnever staying at this hotel and on top of it they didn’t wanna accommodate me in anyway.

The hotel was fairly decent, however 2 out of 3 elevators were down and it's a 20 story building, so waiting was atrocious. The front desk was unfamiliar with where parking options were near the hotel, which I thought was interesting since their parking garage is small. If you are driving to San Diego, I would look elsewhere or you will be spending an insane amount in paid parking lots.

I was expecting a little more from this property. It seems run down in many areas except the front lobby which makes it seem like the whole property would be at that standard. It was also inconvenient there are no toiletries available even for purchase. We also had someone enter our room with a key that was assigned to them by the front desk. It was shocking for both of us and scary to think this can happen. I went to the front desk because our keys were not working due to this and she just said sorry. I feel there should have been something done to alleviate this stressful situation.

Charming location
Pros: Super friendly staff, clean rooms for an older hotel. Great locations. Walkable location. Cons: Tub that didn’t drain well, Super tight parking. Even for a mini SUV. Right next to the freeway but didn’t bother me. Could be bothersome for those that need quiet.
