There was a thick layer of dust on the furniture. Had to clean it myself. Also the staff do not do a thorough cleaning, as there was a mans jacket left in the closet. We wanted to go on the walking tour but apparently they do not have that anymore. Otherwise a nice place to stay.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,396 reviews)
The pool is small and we were shutout from most of the pool/bar area for a few days because of a convention in town but the hotel is clean and the staff are great. It's in an area with fantastic dining options and right next to Petco Park and the Convention Center. I would definitely go back again.
