The hotel is convenient to go to the zoo or balboa park. The pool looks great at nighttime. The rooms are small but its ok. Convenient coffee-maker and fridge in rooms. There was only one girl staff who had really nice customer service. The others were just serious and wouldn't salute. The hotel itself was average; somewhat pricy, too. Looks much fancier online, in person its average.

My fiance and I were very impressed with this hotel and recommend it strongly ... The staff were very friendly and helpful, they had a shuttle to the zoo, and there is a bus stop right down from the hotel. It is not on the beach but it is centrally located to everything. If you are looking for a nice hotel at a good price, with a friendly staff, and a fun atmosphere ... this is the one!!

Our first room:The water in the shower went from ice cold to scalding hot without warning. The nice young guy at the front desk offered to upgrade our room for free. We were given a room up stairs and behind the "pool side" rooms. It was Friday, and the people traffic entering their rooms was loud all night.Okay, so just a bad night we thought. We left for the day, and when we came back about 3:30 there were about 30 college age kids partying and listenng to very loud music. Well, we couldn't hear the talking so much from our room, I was still able to take a nap but we could hear music, and at 6:00 the music stopped. But it became apparent that the "Kids" were not paid guests at the hotel. And, there was a full on DJ set up at pool side. A new clerk (who's name I now wish I had asked) was at the front desk. My husband asked "does this music go on all night and it looks like you let people who are not guests use the pool?" The new guy said "well Sir, when you book a pool side room you have to expect this and the music is supposed to stop at 6:00 and it did. And yes we do allow non-guests to use the facilities on the weekends" his attitude made my husband angry as we tried to explain we did not book "pool side" and that we are on our second room..that all we wanted to know is if it would be loud all night, because if so we would check out and expect a refund. Judging by the attitude of the clerk, they are asked these questions A LOT! very unpleasant stay, unprofessional clerk.

We booked a 3 bedroom townhouse on-line only to get there and be split into two rooms because there was no 3 bedroom unit. The kitchen was okay. The stove had a little leftover food on it and the microwave was missing the plate and smelled of old burnt popcorn. There are no kitchen utensils so we had to make a trip to Target. The sofa in the living room had holes in it and the carpets need cleaning. The bedrooms are a good size but my blanket had holes in the top comforter and had hair all over the blanket underneath and there were cobwebs in the corners of most of the rooms. The bathroom was adequate but there was no hotel shampoo, soap, etc. The fitness center has 1 old treadmill and an even older stationary bike. The printer in the business center did not work and the kids playground consits of a sandy area with one of those things that you climb up one side and then slide down. Fun for kids under the age of 2 maybe - my son is 8 and said the play area was a joke. Only two jets in the hot tub worked. They changed the locks on our doors while we were there and left sawdust all over the kitchen and living room floors. We had to call them twice before it was cleaned up. The staff was friendly enough but this hotel is in dire need of some updating and needs a thorough cleaning. The front desk staff could use a course in hospitality.

I paid for my hotel but checked out before i stayed there because the room was terrible. It was a jacuzzi suite, but the jacuzzi was stained, the room smelled, and the bed was not comfortable. The entire hotel needs to be renovated.

Great Location, great pool and nice rooms.

Perfect location; easy access to roads, sights, etc. etc. The bones of the hotel were wonderful; could be very romantic; full of history. However, sadly lacking in renovation. Things need to be replaced and improved; brings you back to the 40's and early 50's. The site should be saved for its historical value and lost beauty. But, it needs RENOVATION. So sad that the community does not care enough to sanction remodeling and enlargement; what a plus that would be for the area. HOWEVER, the staff is exceptional ... very helpful, very pleasant and the premises is extremely clean. Seems to be a favorite for families w/small children. Hard to say whether we would return or not. Sure hope it gets some enhancement.

We booked this hotel while in town for the maraton due to the history and location, but were soon disappointed when music and parties around the pool continued into the late night hours keeping those who go to sleep before midnight with no recourse other than to put in ear plugs. The hotel hosted a annual fashion show one night we were there for a wonderful cause, but they did not notify us until less than 24 hrs beforehand that this would be taking place. There were a lot of 20-somethings running around drinking alcohol and a very a loud band which played until 10:30. Paying guests were asked to "go around the building" and were not allowed in the lobby and pool area to get to their rooms. My sister and I had someone barge into our room while were in bed in our pajamas. Talk about security. Beer cans and cartons were left in the hallways. We reported this to the hotel and they pretty much told us "too bad". We received no compensation for the inconvenience during our stay even though we had 12 people staying in 6 different rooms for the marathon. I would never stay in this hotel again nor would I recommend it to those I care about. At this time, management has responded to our letter and complaints.

The pictures and the description made the hotel sound nice. A little more expensive than I was looking for but sounded nice. I read the reviews, which were mixed, but thought you can't please everyone. I should have booked somewhere else. My families first room had an ac unit that barely worked and mildew in the bathroom. After going to dinner and returning to a hot room that the hotel staf had supposedly fixed, we finally had to ask for a new room, The second room we received was a large 2 room suite, which sounds great. However, it wasn't. The place had huge dirty spots on the carpet, curtains that would not shut properly and a shower that could scald you or freeze you at a moments notice. But at least the ac worked well in the new rooms. If the property would spend ALOT of money to update and renovate it would be nice. The area of town isn't the best, but it is close to Hotel Circle and quite a few restaraunts, etc. But, as is I would NOT recommend that anyone stay there especially for over $ a night. I will say that the staff was pleasant and we did have some decent towels.

I arrived at the hotel and felt severely dismayed by the hotel based on the photos from the Travel website. It was poorly maintained and didn't come to the standard that i would hope to have based on the price per night. They "upgraded" my friends and I to a townhouse, and while the space was nice, the room was absolutely filthy. I wouldn't shower without sandals, and I didn't want to sleep in the bed or sit on the furniture. It also looked like one of the the 17 inch tvs had been ripped off the table leaving behind only wires and residue. I refused to stay in there, and when I went to tell the front desk that I thought the room was dirty, they asked what I wanted to do and I said I didn't want to stay there at all, and they gave me attitude about how the entire town of San Diego was booked and so "good luck". They put us back into a regular room, which was the size of a small box. I realize the hotel is a historical part of San Diego, but it was not kept up with pride and is obviously deteriorating. I was very unhappy with my stay and was told there was nothing I could do for the entire weekend because there is no manager on duty for the weekend and the desk staff didn't have the authority to help me. I was very unhappy with my stay, and was embarassed to have picked this hotel for my friends and I to stay in.

I checked in on August 8/2008 Desk clerk was wonderful. Got into my room and latter picked up phone to call desk. The phone in room did not work, had to use my cell phone ( long distance call). I complained four times about that phone it never was properly repaired, meaning constantly using cell phone. This included room service which they do not have. Location of in hotel restraunts, only two of them. We turned on the air conditioner in the room it smelled like mold, turned on water in bathroom sink to rinse mouth after brushing tasted like mold. Turn on shower the water smelled like mold. Called and ask for extra pillows had them in less than five minutes. The room was spotless no sign of dust. even the windows were clean. Early morning brunch was wonderful, loby is beautiful. My parking was locked under ground parking, My room had two bed just as I asked. There isn't shuttle service to any place, and MacDonalds is right on the corner. And the walls in the Red Fox Restraunt were carved in 1560 in England so beautiful. The staff was really wonderful.

If I was in my twenties with no kids, this place would be ok. But as a forty year old with a small child, I didn't feel safe. We checked out twenty minutes after checking in and found a different hotel. The loud noise from the nightclub as well as passersby was too much.

When we entered the room we were overcome by the stench in our room. 30 minutes later we had reserved another hotel that ended up being awesome! Do not stay here! Don't use Orbits! They will not refund your money. Just do your own searching. You will find better deals and better hotels.
