I sent a large package ahead of time for Comic Con and they gave it to another guest by accident even though I wrote my name on it in HUGE letters with a marker. They spent 30min just saying "they don't have it" and shrugging their shoulders before the guest in question contacted me (and I assume them) telling me they recieved it by accident. The guest that mistakenly took it had looked me up on social media to returned it to me, unfortunately a bunch of the contents were damaged by them from all the man handling.

The breakfast and pool was a great value and bonus on the hotel. We originally were placed in a room on the boom floor in the back corner where all the staff members offices and workstations were, it was really not great, even the plug ins and electricity in the room had issues. But once we brought our concerns to hotel staff they were happy to move us. Our experience grew to be much better after that!

Good Comic-Con alternative.
While Comic-Con is expensive, the hotel was reasonably close to the convention and more reasonably priced than some of the closer alternatives. Breakfast in the morning was quite nice and the bed was comfortable. Daily room service was a plus.

I was really disappointed with the quality of this hotel. I’ve had good experiences with Holiday Inn express in the past, but this location is in poor condition. None of the outlets in my room worked properly. My phone charger was constantly turning on and off and would fall out of some of the outlets. The ice machine on my floor did not work. The overall upkeep of the hotel was in poor condition. The parking structure was also very tight and tough to navigate.

The hotel was just what we needed. A nice clean place to sleep and have breakfast. The only issue we had was the homeless folks who were living on the streets and the smell left by the homeless folks who used the streets as their bathroom. This situation isn’t the Hotels fault. Although, they could spray off the sidewalks to get rid of the smell.
