View from the 21st floor
by janders The hotel was very easy to get to, right off of a freeway off ramp. As close as it may sound to the I-5, it's a fairly quiet area.
The parking garage is a VERY tight squeeze. Big cars may want to park across the street.
Now I booked this hotel off of Priceline.com and I got a standard room. BUT, when we arrived, they told me that the room was allready given out. They upgrading us to a suite for 50 dollars more. But what the hell, a 200.00 dollar suite for a total of 130.00 dollars, which is the price of a standard room.
We went from the 6th floor with a view of the pool, to the 21st floor on a coner, with a view of the bay, skyline, and Balboa Park.
One Problem was at the customer service desk where the person behind the counter was not the greatest. We wanted to get a courtesy van to the Gaslamp Quater. But after wating for about 5 minutes and having airline people push there way up, we decided to take the Trolley, which was only 5 blocks down from the hotel. We spent 2.50 for a ride on the Trolly, instead of a tip to courtesy van driver that was not to courteous.
Other then that, the stay at the hotel was not that bad. The breakfast buffet was good, cheap and the service in there was great.
We never made it to the pool because we got caught up in all of the things to do in San Diego.
Good view above the 8th floor. Great service in the resturant, and very clean Theme: HotelComparison: less expensive than averageDirections: The hotel is right off of I-5 exit on Front Street. Very easy to get to.
