Nice room. Clean, affordable and centrally located. Parking was a bit of a pain but that’s a downtown issue, not the hotel’s fault.

Seriously, the best beds and linens I’ve ever experienced at a hotel—runs laps around many Ritz locations I’ve stayed in. The amenities are few but a great place to stay to get great rest before a conference in San Diego.

Perfect location if you’re attending an event at Petco Park or just want to explore SD downtown. Free bikes are provided to cruise around. Free water in room, coffee machine with plenty of coffee and creamer and you get two alcoholic beverages upon check in. Plus late check out was offered without hesitation. Fabulous service. This will be our go to hotel going forward!
