Overrated

I can not believe Trip Advisor gives this property a certificate of excellence. Not up to the normal standards. The original building has charm and the pool is okay, if oversold as the "Johnny Weismuller" pool. BUT, we had basically no wifi to speak of; the management includes with the password a phone number to call for wifi issues, so the weak signal can't be news to them. The hotel really should invest in upgrading their wifi if they want return customers. It was maddening to be able to sign in and then have to wait several minutes for Google to load. Separately, the heating system needs an upgrade. Our room was very cold when we arrived and while we did manage to heat the room, the heater was very loud when it kicked in; it kept my daughter up most of the night and gave us all a fitful night's sleep. Again, investing in central heating and getting rid of the clunky heaters seems a good idea. We felt like we were in a cheap motel, which I guess we were. Bummer: the place has real potential

Relaxing Reinvigorating

This place is incredible. From the moment we arrived we were impressed. The greeting at the front desk by Jesus was warm, friendly and inviting. The music, ambience and overall feel of this historic place is very calm and nostalgic. The entire staff were incredible, very accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting San Diego

Loved this hotel!

Stayed here over the thanksgiving holiday for a nice getaway and I absolutely loved it. The charming character of the hotel is like old Hollywood tucked away in a cute neighborhood. The service was amazing! Joseph and the others at the front desk were so friendly and made me feel right at home. My room was amazing and I felt so relaxed during my stay. I will definitely be back when it's warmer to enjoy that beautiful pool
