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.

Good Hotel

The Bristol Hotel was very nice and accomodating. As with other hotels in the area, there is no hotel parking except for valet.

Grey Hound bus terminal

If you select this hotel be sure and request a room that is not located not across the street from the Grey Hound bus station. Constant noise from bus start ups throughout the night.

Slow Boat of an Elevator

They wee porforming an upgrade to their elevator system, so our patience was put to the test. The bar was nice - The bartenter was a real character. Rooms are spacious - bed was very comfortable.

Will be good...soon

The Bristol has very cool, modern decor, which make the small rooms comfortable. The beds are great! The cleaning service is awesome. The bathroom is ample. My room key worked (30% of the time). Luckily the cleaning lady was around alot and helped me out with it -- apparently there's a trick. The maintenance guy came out to clean the lock and change the batteries, but no avail. Only one elevator. This was problematic because we were moving from the 9th to 4th floor a lot. Even if we weren't the stairway goes straight to the street (no lobby access). The hotel restaurant service is limited. Limited hours. I was leaving and asked the front desk if we could come back at 10:45 AM and order food. She said of course. But, they close down the grill at 10:30 AM. Big bummer, because that was the day we needed a big breakfast before a 12:00 appointment at the hotel. I was really upset. They offered pastries and fruit, but that wouldn't have been enough. The front desk service is a little slow. I waited late at night, at least 10 minutes, for someone to show up to rekey my room. I waited for 10 minutes during the day for someone to check my bags in. They are honest! My friend left a very expensive dress in the hotel! She called the next day and they had the dress for her to pick up. I appreciate that!

Bristol Hotel

The AC thermostat was installed upside down, so the heater was on instead of the AC. I called the front desk twice to remedy. The window was broken, so we go noise from the Greyhound station all night.

Nice Feel

The room was smallish but had a great feel. Very comfortable bed and unique decor.My wife loved the vanity mirror just outside the bathroom. Good shower size (which I need as a big guy) and even a seat for women to sit and shave their legs. Overall, I had a good experience and will likely stay there again when I am in the area.
