Best for
This hotel is best suited to baseball fans and event-goers thanks to its direct walkway connection to Petco Park, and to convention attendees given its 4-minute walk to the San Diego Convention Center. It also appeals to leisure travelers who want a rooftop pool and easy access to Gaslamp Quarter nightlife, museums, and the waterfront, all within an easy walk or short trolley ride.
Travel tips
Book well ahead if visiting during Padres home games, since the hotel's direct walkway to Petco Park draws game-day crowds and street noise. The nearest trolley stop is about a 7-minute walk, making it easy to reach other parts of San Diego without a car, and many major attractions like Seaport Village and the USS Midway Museum are within a 15-20 minute walk. Note that Wi-Fi carries a fee, so factor that into your stay.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendliness and efficiency of the staff, and the convenient, safe downtown location near the trolley. The rooftop pool, restaurant food, and thoughtful touches like a microwave and an opt-out housekeeping policy that supports community meal donations are also frequently mentioned as positives. A recurring minor complaint is noise, particularly low booming music heard from outside at night, and one reviewer noted a decline in the personability of valet service compared to a previous manager.
