The hotel room was recently updated and spacious with unique 60's decorations. It had a clean but slightly old smell initially, which dissipated after airing it out. The proximity to the busy swimming pool made it a bit noisy at times. Service was welcoming, professional, and very accommodating, recommending their on-site Mexican restaurant, 'The Amigo Spot. ' The location is very convenient, close to major attractions and easy to move around in different transport options. The hotel offers a well-maintained pool area for enjoyment.

I have to say, my stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. The rooms were incredibly clean and I loved the retro look, but they were just too hot sometimes. The service, on the other hand, was a hit or miss - some staff were super nice, while others seemed aloof. The location was a standout, with easy access to Downtown on the city train, making exploring San Diego a breeze. However, there was a noticeable smell of mold in certain areas. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with well-stocked options but the unfortunate surprise of high charges at times. Overall, a place that blends the charm of the past with modern updates.
