It was a good experience to stay in this hotel for a third time, but pay for a parking lot 25 dollars per night, I think it's too much. Other than that, it was very good and excellent. Good stuff.

We stayed there because we were going to a concert @ Humphrey's. BW was in a fantastic location for us walking to the concert. The park across the street was wonderful! Shopping? We did not see ANY place to shop in the vicinity, not even a convenience store. Dining? Slim pickins. Just restaurants @ the hotels near by, which seemed to serve the same type of food & was expensive. Transportation, only taxi, uber and lyft, no public transportation available either. It would have been REALLY nice to have a shuttle van to and from the airport! Like most hotels do. Walkable? Convenience? Depends on what you are wanting to do your mode of transportation. We didn't use parking, but it looked like there was a good amount of places to park. We THOUGHT there was a complimentary continental bfast @ the hotel and we were VERY disappointed to find out there was not. The other BW did have cont. bfast. & nothing close to eat breakfast @ ie coffee house, etc. Our second day, we did find Denny's and Ralphs & did walk there, which was a bit of a hike. We were tired by the time we got there & decided to definitely take a Lyft ride back. @ Ralph, we did get food that we could cook in the microwave for our dinner that night and bfast the following day.I needed to iron the blouse that I was GOING to wear to the concert, but the iron spit out all kinds of rust and minerals on my new white blouse and I had to figure out another outfit. Our door had enough space @ the bottom, daylight came through.

4 o’clock is kind of late to check in. Especially when you have to be at a wedding at 1730. Contacted staff at 1030 was told they would call me when room was ready. Staff did not contact us. We went back at 2:30 we staff told us they would check status of room. The room was ready however supervisor did not approve. 15 min later staff came by the lobby where we were sitting to let us the room was ready.

This has always been our go to for San Diego. This is the 2nd Time I've had problems with our room. I booked a suite and they tried to give me a Jr Suite with no Kitchen. They ended up giving us our suite but we had to wait several hours for our room. Way past the 4:00 check in. I'm very disappointed. I'm not sure I will ever stay there again.

I was expecting a suite for the price paid but what was given definitely did not look like one, carpet looked & felt dirty, kitchen didn’t have all utensils so we had to buy some. Housekeeping couldn’t even come & do room service, when I tried to call for room service I got no answer and I called multiple times. The guy checking me in was OK but the guy checking me out was better. Staff was ok but housekeeping staff could be better. The property has nice views, but too bad the hotel itself is not that great.

Great location. Beautiful view. We had an issue with requesting extra blankets. I requested two and they never showed up. Several hours later I called the front desk and was told the dryer was broken. A few hours later we received one blanket that was more like a duvet cover. We had a ground floor marina view room, the people above us were loud. You could hear them sliding furniture. Our bathroom had a musky smell and shower water didn’t get that hot. Overall though it was clean and comfortable. The restaurant on site is pricey, but very good food and service.
