My daughter stayed at this hotel last weekend (Aug. 23-25) and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Upon her late-night arrival, the valet informed her there was no parking available and directed her to a distant parking structure, making her feel unsafe. When she asked if it was safe to park there, the valet hesitated and responded with, "I think," which was far from reassuring. She had to park several floors up in a narrow garage, and the walk back to the hotel was unsettling. The hallway was poorly lit, and the path was so unsafe that she had to step over homeless individuals lying on the sidewalks to avoid walking on the main street. It's concerning that the hotel's website promised valet parking without mentioning it's on a first-come, first-served basis. If alternative parking is required, the hotel should offer to park the car for their guests. The challenges didn’t end there. Accessing the main floor/lobby required a key or waiting for a staff member to open the door, indicating the area may not be safe. Additionally, the bed sheets in her room were filthy, as shown in the attached photos. Spots and stains were visible everywhere, which is unacceptable. Clean sheets should be a basic expectation, and if the staff can't clean them, they should be replaced. Lastly, the "city view" advertised was misleading—her view from the 2nd floor only showed the main street, not a true city view. This entire experience was disappointing, I wont be booking here again

An unfortunate stain on our stay
The hotel is in a great location. The staff was friendly. Unfortunately, the sheets on our bed has visible stains on them. When the attendant brought up new sheets, he just handed them over to us to make the bed ourselves.

Its a centrally located property if you have something to do near downtown or Gaslamp district. Unfortunately it is located near a court and bail bonds places, so it is a bit sketchy at night

I loved it I was also picked as guest of the day and I was given a goodie bag and a bottle of wine and a free upgrade the hotel was very clean and beautiful the only issue I had was I was with my child and to get to the extra parking garage it was not the safest walk there are homeless individuals around the property and near the garage the valet was full when we checked in but other than that best experience at a San Diego hotel by far

This property had no frills but it worked for me and my brother (both adult males) for 3 days. The parking is $40 per night and it’s difficult to find street parking. We found parking on the next block for $30 per day. Also, the outside is a bit noisy in the mornings and there was yelling on the streets for at least two nights. There are lots of food options within a 10-15 minute walk but not much in the nearest blocks. I could stay here again if I’m alone or with my brother, but I’m not sure I’d choose this location with family. I mean no offense to people who live on the street but for your awareness, we regularly encountered people talking to themselves, people sleeping on the sidewalk, and we witnessed several physical altercations. If you can handle a no frills place with a short walk to food/entertainment, an area with expensive parking, and you are confident walking in this type of environment, this hotel may suit your needs.
