Embassy Suites by Hilton San Diego Bay Downtown

The breakfast was amazing, really great made to order omelets. The hotel was undergoing renovations and that wasn’t known until we checked-in. The construction was supposed to be between 9-5 but started everyday closer to 815 and lasted until 530. We were warned we might lose electricity and water which we did! It would have been nice if they could have told us each day exactly when that would happen, not just sometime during the day. Other than the construction the hotel was conveniently located and very nice. Oh we also reported a problem with the previous occupant spilling coffee on the carpet which we found once we we had removed our shoes and got our socks wet, but they didn’t address that - so we put down a towel.

The renovations happening at this hotel left us unhappy that we were in the "old" part and there were rooms available in the "new" part. Our room did not have a balcony and we were placed right outside the elevator which we heard all night long. We spent too much money for not that great of a room. Greeting staff was marginal. The only reason I didn't complain was because it was the end of a long trip and I just wanted to rest... but I would have preferred to be moved.

Was not told about construction, noise (from hammering, rotary hammers etc.) was just unbearable. A lot of the work was being done on the rooms directly below us but construction is on three full floors.
