7.2/10

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and equipped with a Smart TV for entertainment, but there was a slight hint of cigarette smoke. The service was exceptional, especially from Maria. The location was convenient for exploring downtown San Diego and the harbor area. The dining experience in the courtyard left something to be desired, with limited options.
