The parking situation was insane, extremely narrow and hard to find good parking because of how poorly made the structure is. They charge 40$ for a sardin can of parking which is insane. The place is super crowded and felt cramped. Elevator takes forever and the restrooms have zero ventilation. The walls are thin and you can hear the people next door. Overall disappointed with this stay.

Normally, this hotel has consistent and reliable service and amenities, but this is what we encountered that drove the rating down: 1. Sewage smell in the restroom 2. Elevator 3 was out of order an entire day causing over 10 min wait time for elevators 3. False fire alarm 3x, 2x in the middle of the night causing sleep disruption

I enjoyed my stay at the DoubleTree. Make sure you do not get a room that faces the freeway. It is very noisy. The "ocean view" rooms were quiet. The staff was friendly in changing my room. It is centrally located to get to the Gaslamp District, Zoo, and Balboa Park. I did drive to all of these locations but they are walkable. The have free Tesla charging, which is a big plus. Too bad ICE cars were parked in 2 of the spots, which I did report to the front desk. The parking lot ramps are very narrow. That was little scary. I did see a few unhoused people on the street surrounding the hotel, but it wasn't a problem. I will most likely stay here again.

Overall I enjoyed my stay but a few issues First the bad. The WiFi is on an older WiFi protocol. I couldn’t connect with my Apple devices and it was very slow connecting with my android. It was basically unusable. The weekend seems to draw a lot of partiers. Fr-Sat night were extremely loud. The lobby is very nice but not a very big lounge area. The good. The pool area is nice with a jacuzzi. The room had a great balcony with a view of San Diego. Very spacious and comfortable. The location is great. Right off the interstate and 2 blocks to a very vibrant Little Italy with tons of dining and entertainment. Would be better with a few tweaks. Like I said this area is popular for people wanting to party so might be tricky to find a quiet hotel in this part of town. They did tell me September and October are slower months for SD.

This hotel was located in a great area. The only issues were the very slow elevators and the parking. The parking was extremely convenient but the entrances and exits were so narrow, I dont know how a large SUV or truck could fit into it without hitting the wall. Overall, I would give it a 5, just minus one for the elevators and parking. I definitely would and plan to stay here again.

Outdated rooms, great staff service
Hotel rooms were pretty outdated and dingy feeling. The noise was pretty bad, maybe the walls were really thin? The parking garage was awful. Very narrow ramps, I was terrified of scraping my rental suv car. Get a small rental car if you’re parking here. It’s also expensive to park $40/night) However, the outstanding level of service made up for all that. I forgot my toothbrush and it was very easy and quick to get assistance. I unexpectedly got sick and needed mate checkout and they were gracious to give me noon late checkout.
