As mentioned in the title, I have never had such a comfortable bed and wish I could take it home with me.
Cons: The hotel cannot control this, but the area is filled with homeless and panhandlers that made it uncomfortable to walk to the Gaslamp district or Midway museum (it's worse on 4th Street). Next time we will likely stay close to the waterfront where the problem seems to be lessened.

Geat Caesar salad at lunch; good bar service; excellent Bloody Mary! Nice housekeeping staff. Helpful concierge gave me good info about getting to the San Diego Zoo.
Cons: Snooty front desk clerk: I was staying 2 nights on SPG points, an SPG Gold member. Took advantage of early check in and 4pm checkout - that was great. Front desk clerk says: "Sorry can't upgrade you at checkin." And I say, if I didn't check in until after my day's activities after 6pm, could I get an upgrade?" response: "No". So why did you even say that sh*t in the first place? Total droid. Also, downtown San Diego is a dreary place indeed. Homelessness abounds. And while there are nice restaurants within a mile, this particular stretch of Broadway isn't much...

4.5 Okay
Pros:
Cons: The pool was closed. The door was boring. Nothing to do at the hotel. Basically walked in and out of the hotel and paid $30 each day for parking. There's much more fun and intriguing hotels else were. I was born and raised in San Diego and visit often in hotel stays. This definitely isn't a vibe I'd like to stay in again.

Pros: Beautiful views, comfortable beds , very spacious suite overall value for the price is excellent. would definitely stay again

8.0 Excellent
Pros: For the price, this place is great! Beautiful views from our room on the 26th floor. You won't find views like that anywhere close to this price range.
Cons: A few minor cracks in the walls in the bathroom. Room kids gives off a slightly outdated vibe. Walls are quite thin. We could hear our Neighbors talking all evening. $29 a night for self parking. $35 for valet.
7.7 Good
Pros: Cool room, nothing from the ordinary but useful in group settings for the larger room. Security came up twice but he was very understanding and agreed on what volume was right. Location was great and close to many places in walking distance.
Cons: Comfort of hotel was ok. No towels in the restroom. Also vending machines suck! Some times they take and sometimes they give! Definitely would have appreciated some water at a dying thirst lol iwfu
9.1 Excellent
Pros: The room was very spacious, I loved it. I also loved how many mirrors were in the room, many hotels lack mirrors, but this place has that covered.
Cons: I didn't like how small the shower was.
The central air was not working in the common areas, which I assume is not something that happens all the time, so I am not putting too much emphasis on that, however it was excessively hot even riding the elevator or just walking down the hallways.. Enough that I walked at a more rapid pace to get outside faster.
2.0 Mediocre
Pros: I really like the recent decor updates
Cons: The service seems lacking compared to the last trip we took there, the rooms were needing some repairs and carpet needed a good shampoo.
7.7 Good
Pros: The lobby and check-in area were simple, but nicely designed. There was a large handpainted calendar behind the concierge desk showing which music acts were performing over the course of the month. It was informative and artistic. The lobby was clean, modern, and inviting as was the attached Deck 12 restaurant and bar. The front desk person was friendly. Since we were there on a Saturday night, leaving Sunday, we were able to take advantage of ample street parking for free.
Cons: Our room was located directly across from the elevators. Very loud when sitting in a chair in the living room space of the suite. The room was reasonably spacious, but it had not been updated in quite some time. When we entered for the first time, we were overwhelmed with an almost toxic level of chlorine funmes. (Obviously I am being overly dramatic as i don't think we were in any danger.) The bathroom felt very small and tight despite being a good size. There was a tub and seperate shower, but even my wife could not take a showewr without hitting her elbow trying to maneuver in the stall. It was that small. In fact, I hadto open the shower door in order to move my arms when drying off. When asking the guy at the concierge desk for breakfast spots, he was not very knowledgeable. Turned out he was actually the bellman and the concierge was busy. Would have been good for him to start off with that info. There was no gift shop where one could buy snacks or water. Our only option was to use the vending machines and if you wanted drinks, you had to go several floors up to find a machine that sold them.

Pros: We stayed here on our mini honeymoon before we go on our big honeymoon in May. The staff made sure to give us a corner room view of the city. The hotel employees were very friendly
Cons: There was no refrigerator but there was a microwave. Why would i need to warm up my food in the microwave if i didnt have a fridge. Wish they would include a complimentary breakfast. Rooms were outdated wish they looked more like the lobby area. Overall comfortable relaxing stay with my husband

Pros: Very classy, beautifully appointed hotel. Staff helpful, polite and wanted our stay to be as comfortable as possible. Our room was lovely and the turn down service was appreciated - especially the music playing and the low lighting when we returned in the evening. I agree the C street side of building a bit noisy, but would not deter me from staying there again when we are in San Diego. The valet was very prompt to deliver our car and 2 young men helped us with our luggage. We had room service breakfast.. Very, very good...Thank you for a lovely stay...

Cons: The hotel had a musty smell that was unappealing. The concierge and some of the people at the front desk were not very friendly/helpful when I asked about place to get a good fish taco and hoe to get to old down. Made me feel like I was shaking silly questions and bother.

Splash out at our rooftop pool and lounge, then head to Curadero for authentic, coastal Baja cuisine alongside Mexican spirits and craft beers. For a privileged perch and epic views, opt for a room in our Skyline Collection.

7.1 Good
Pros: The atmosphere was upscale and classy, felt great staying at a great hotel. Room service was a little steep (typical...) but the food was delicious - the staff recommended some foods that were spot on.
Room decor was great, modern and classy. Hardwood floors made it feel a little upscale.
Cons: The bathroom is just a total mess. Shower head position is too low for anyone 5'5" or taller - requiring you to use the head manually (why???).
Bathroom door is a sliding door but doesn't exactly provide too much privacy since you can see through the cracks - perfect angle if you want to watch your friend on the toilet...
Iron was awful - took way too long and was just cheap overall or needed replacing.
Cleanliness was awkward - arrived at the hotel (6pm) and was told our room needs to be cleaned. We arrived in the room, saw the hardwood floors were soaking wet (slipping lawsuit anyone?) and found residual items from the previous guests.
Would be nice to upgrade those 2003 radios to the new iphone 5 or usb players...

Pros: The location to Gas Lamp District was perfect!

4.8 Okay
Pros: Hotel is in a great location, bed was nice, as was the decor.
Cons: Last two nights there, the lobby smelled like a stadium bathroom, staff was not helpful upon checking in, the front door to the hotel has to be the most awkward door I have ever seen on a hotel. Also, instead of having an actual door on the bathroom, they have a sliding glass door. Just a word of warning, if you have a knock at the door and someone is in the shower be sure to pull the door closed because you can see straight into the shower from the entryway. That is poor planning and inexperience. I would not stay here again nor recommend to anyone.

No complaints and would gladly stay here again.
Cons: Rooms were small. There was no view including limited sunlight through the window plus the "green" lighting made it so you had to turn every light in the room on when getting ready. Bathroom was small and no vent :-/. Closet didn't open all the way due to being obstructed by the bedside table (again, room was small). I'm being as honest as possible with these negative, but the purpose of the room was met and the pros far exceeded the cons during our stay.

Cons: This is by far the worst hotel I've ever been in! The room, (505) was so small that I think they had to build the room around the bed. It was so small that the bathroom had to have a sliding door. I truly don't believe a normal door would be able to open / close. The air conditioning didn't work and the overall area seemed seedy. Numerous bailed bond companies with likely clients in the area. When I asked about the area the clerk advised, "Just stay on Broaday."

It doesn’t get much better for location than the San Diego Downtown Lodge. This hotel is right in the middle of all of the biggest attractions that San Diego has to offer. There are restaurants, shops, bars, and so much more just quick walks away from the hotel. The hotel houses 32 guest rooms that are all non-smoking. Guests can choose 1 queen bed, 2 queen beds, or a queen bed accessible room. All rooms have free WiFi, desks for working, telephone lines, TVs with premium channels, microwaves, and refrigerators. The rooms are clean and updated with a good amount of space. There are no restaurants available on-site but the location of the San Diego Downtown Lodge gives guests plenty of choices for dining. Downtown San Diego is very close, as well as the city’s very famous Gaslamp District. There are tons of food choices there such as Werewolf, Searsucker, Greystone Prime Steakhouse & Seafood, and Rei Do Gado Brazilian Steakhouse. The San Diego Downtown Lodge puts guests very close to many things they’ll want to do. A quick drive will get visitors to the San Diego Zoo, the USS Midway Museum, or SeaWorld. Coronado Beach isn’t far away. Neither is Balboa Stadium and Petco Park. The Gaslamp District has all kinds of entertainment options and there’s plenty of good golfing and shopping all around the area. Shoppers will want to make a trip to Fashion Valley Mall and the Las Americas Premium Outlets. San Diego is a beautiful city and has so much to offer any kind of traveler. The San Diego Downtown Lodge is located very conveniently for anyone taking a trip to the city. Guests will have easy access to everything they want to do and see.
