Areas if Improvement.

Check out is at 11am. As a result, check out at the front parking exit was chaotic and unorganized with cars backed up and unable to leave due to the car jam. Perhaps security can provide relief with the car jam. Also, the parking stacks elevator was minimally functional. I was forced to take the stairs. There were very few handicap parking located near the hotel entrance. Finally, they were out of cookies.

This property needs a huge makeover. The rooms were horrible! the duvet insert was dingy and didn't look very clean. The floors were torn and had different size dark spots on them. There were tears in the chairs, and wallpaper. It was just a hot mess. I did not feel at home, and it was hard to get comfortable. Unfortunately

It was nice to be in close proximity to many areas such as the airport, Old Town, San Diego. The hotel was mediocre at best. Broken glass in the stairways of the parking garage, moldy smells from carpets in hotel, pretty sure there was a semen stain on the nightstand next to the bed, and too much debris floating in the jacuzzi.
