The hotel states that check-in time is at 3 PM, however our room wasn't ready until around 4 PM. Also the quality of the breakfast could have been better. The scrambled eggs had a watery taste and they only had turkey and pork sausage for the meat option, no bacon or ham, and the biscuits were somewhat hard. The balcony area had two chairs, but no table. It would have been nice to have a table for the either the balcony area or inside the room. Despite these things the staff was courteous and helpful.

Love the Balcony View
Loved the receptionist, Angel, who checked us in. He was able to sign me up for the rewards program and upgraded our room to a 3rd level balcony view over the city. Angel was able to give us detailed info on what was inside of the hotel, as well as things to do in the neighborhood. This was truly appreciated. The room was clean, warm and cozy. Breakfast was your normal continental breakfast. Parking was a breeze utilizing the hotels parking ramp (pay for parking when booking to save money), which is located right under/behind the hotel. The elevator for the ramp lets you right off to your room’s floor. This was perfect, we didn’t have to worry about getting wet from the all the rain during our stay. Only downside to our room is there was no full length mirrors anywhere. So you could only see yourself from the chest up in the bathroom mirror. Also, we noticed a faint musty odor in a few of the pillows, but did report it to housekeeping and were able to get them exchanged. Will book again.

Must be a strong walker if you plan on going somewhere on foot. Never thought San Diego was as hilly as San Francisco! The hotel is at the very peak.
