Pros +

  • Quiet
  • Pretty easy to get to from the airport. And it is in a centralized location that allowed us quick access to the zoo, the theatre, gaslamp district & coronado bridge.
  • Location of hotel, coffee station

Cons -

  • There was a cockroach. There is ONLY valet parking. WHY this isn?t included in the room price is ridiculous and beyond me! Very infuriating
  • Price for parking, suvs not allowed in parking structure
  • pillows uncomfortable, bathroom shower was gross and the grout was grimy (ew), sheets were not clean and made me itchy. Front desk service was average for customer service but below average for a hotel, especially of that price. Parking sucked
