Its proximity to University of San Diego is truly very convenient. It’s removed from Hotel Circle, which strangely is a good thing. Their restaurant is pretty good and they have very friendly staff.

Check in was not up front with me and put me in a room that was a down grade from what I paid. When I booked the room it said no queens were available and I had to pay the higher price for a king, but they put me in a queen bed anyway. When I complained they gave me the choice to go to a room that literally sounds like a helicopter taking off and vibrating the walls. No discount or apologies. They actually smirked when I asked them why the queen and they looked at each other and smiled then told me I didn’t have any other choice because the King bedroom was the noisy one but didn’t explain it to me when checking in. I felt abused and they treated me ignorantly as if I was a jerk for asking. Also, nothing in the reservation did it mention additional $25 for parking but it did show it if you drill down further to property details. I feel Expedia should disclose parking fees when booking.

The only thing which didn’t like was the fact…
I chose the property as a dog friendly, but in the eating area they only allowed service dog !!!!! Does not make sense, I didn’t try to make a big deal about it , but I wanted others to know it if they intend to dine at the restaurant inside the property!

Upon arrival we were placed in a room that was not clean; dirty towel on the bathroom floor and bed not made. When I was unable to get anyone on the phone, I went down to the desk and they changed our room, but gave us a smaller room. The staff was present enough and the location and rooms were good, just one bad experience.
