Slow elevator, nice decor, expensive parking

The hotel was decorated well, contemporary and modern. The mattress was really comfortable. The air thermostat was broken so it was a bit difficult to get the right room temp. The elevator is going through an update, so was extremely slow. Parking was expensive and only valet is available. We did really like the hotel itself. The location was good and it was very clean. We would definitely recommend it for couples in their 30's who like to retreat but are close enough to nightlife and dining to walk.

Great Hotel with only 1 exception

Very close to trolley and very noisy. Expensive parking but understandable since it is down town.

Great Hotel Experience

We loved our stay over the Labor Day Weekend at the Bristol. The hotel is quiet; all the other guests seemed nice and respectful. It was conveniently located to nightime restaurants in the GasLamp district (without being so close that the street noice becomes a problem when sleeping), it's close to Balboa Park museums, and a walk to the Embarcadero. We rented a car and made day trips to La Jolla, Del Mar, and Coronado island. The parking fee fairly increases the overal price of the hotel rate so be sure to factor that in if you rent or park your car. Overall it was a great and comfortable experience.

Wonderful find!

Far exceeded our expectations! Our room was spotless, modern, and comfortable, the decor of the hotel is great, the service was good, and the location perfect. I couldn't believe we found such a gem of a hotel for such a reasonable price. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice Hotel but needs improvement

Very nice hotel but needs to improve customer service. The wet bar had expired product, warm beverages, someones left over food, and it was dirty. I asked four times for it to be taken care of and it was never attended too.

Great stay.

Good price, considering the high quality of the hotel and the fact that it is located right in the center of town. Very helpful, friendly staff. Occasionally noisy at night since my room was on the street side.

Pretty room

Service was excellent, room was updated and very nice. The only down side which came as an unwelcome surprise is parking at the hotel. We thought the valets were the only cost for parking. Pretty steep for the 2 nights we spent!

Great for the money

Being located in downtown San Diego, I expected any room to be a little pricey, but I got the standard room at a great discounted rate. I wouldn't have stayed there if I had to pay full price for the room considering valet parking is ridiculously expensive! It cost almost $30 a day to park in the hotel garage! The room was very well decorated with a contemporary style. The location is great; I walked around everyday to go eat breakfast and dinner. I would recommend this hotel to anyone as long as they don't have to pay the regular hotel rates that don't even include parking.
