San Diego hotels in Core-Columbia

Cons: We had to send back the Eggs Benedict because it was sour and just downright HORRIBLE. We had our meal replaced with over cooked eggs and cold, greasy bacon... definitely NOT worth the $65 bill for two breakfasts & coffee. Maintenance had to come up because the faucet was stripped and wouldn't turn off. There entire hotel smelled old and reeked of stale cigarette smoke. It took the chick 20 minutes to find change for me while trying to check out because I paid cash for that lousy breakfast. Just an all around horrible stay and will NEVER stay there again.

Cons: Our room was located directly across from the elevators. Very loud when sitting in a chair in the living room space of the suite. The room was reasonably spacious, but it had not been updated in quite some time. When we entered for the first time, we were overwhelmed with an almost toxic level of chlorine funmes. (Obviously I am being overly dramatic as i don't think we were in any danger.) The bathroom felt very small and tight despite being a good size. There was a tub and seperate shower, but even my wife could not take a showewr without hitting her elbow trying to maneuver in the stall. It was that small. In fact, I hadto open the shower door in order to move my arms when drying off. When asking the guy at the concierge desk for breakfast spots, he was not very knowledgeable. Turned out he was actually the bellman and the concierge was busy. Would have been good for him to start off with that info. There was no gift shop where one could buy snacks or water. Our only option was to use the vending machines and if you wanted drinks, you had to go several floors up to find a machine that sold them.

Cons: Having to stop on the lobby floor and get off the elevator to get on another one to go to the ground floor.

Cons: The pool was closed. The door was boring. Nothing to do at the hotel. Basically walked in and out of the hotel and paid $30 each day for parking. There's much more fun and intriguing hotels else were. I was born and raised in San Diego and visit often in hotel stays. This definitely isn't a vibe I'd like to stay in again.

Cons: The service seems lacking compared to the last trip we took there, the rooms were needing some repairs and carpet needed a good shampoo.

Cons: no refrigerator even after calling and requesting one 2 different times before arriving.

Cons: No complaints. The TV near the bed was dated...but we were so tired we never turned it on.

Cons: A few minor cracks in the walls in the bathroom. Room kids gives off a slightly outdated vibe. Walls are quite thin. We could hear our Neighbors talking all evening. $29 a night for self parking. $35 for valet.

Cons: Parking garage is poorly designed, elevator setup is confusing (tho it adds some security), fridge didn't work.

Cons: They had a restaurant in the hotel but I was bummed that they had no room service. They also do not have a refrigerator. Bring something to set your things in if you need anything chilled. They do have ice machines, coffee maker, and microwave. Room can have some upgrades but it is an overall spacious and OK hotel for the price. Wouldn't mind staying there again.

Cons: They are remodeling and some of the issues could have been better.

Cons: I didn't like how small the shower was. The central air was not working in the common areas, which I assume is not something that happens all the time, so I am not putting too much emphasis on that, however it was excessively hot even riding the elevator or just walking down the hallways.. Enough that I walked at a more rapid pace to get outside faster.

Cons: There was no refrigerator but there was a microwave. Why would i need to warm up my food in the microwave if i didnt have a fridge. Wish they would include a complimentary breakfast. Rooms were outdated wish they looked more like the lobby area. Overall comfortable relaxing stay with my husband

Cons: The parking structure is a bit crazy and could be marked better. Hotel parking is on the 11th floor. The parking is also $30.00 a day! which I guess is the going city rate. The price of the room goes up quite a bit when you add in the parking and all the different taxes.

Cons: Plumbing problem (cold water faucet didn't work in sink). Parking is challenging & expensive

Cons: The facilities need a remodel. Mold on the shower door and badly worn carpet

Cons: Carpet was stained, felt outdated,

Cons: Housekeeping usually forgot to replenish something each day, whether it be coffee, tea, Equal, salt and pepper, water, or other similar supplies. Also, the parking fees are exorbitant.

Cons: No pool and no floors in the lobby, felt rushed and small. But the beds made up for everything.

Cons: Comfort of hotel was ok. No towels in the restroom. Also vending machines suck! Some times they take and sometimes they give! Definitely would have appreciated some water at a dying thirst lol iwfu

Cons: Entrance elevators only go to parking and reception then you must take a separate elevator to the rooms.

Cons: the location, although centrally located was very urban and close to some what appeared to be homeless shelters. I didn't have any problems and it was fine, but I think awareness of surroundings would need to be stressed.

Cons: Very very very noisy. Street noise internal courtyard noise. Hallway noise. Nothing is sound insulated.

Cons: The automatic sinks in the lobby bathrooms did not work well at all.

Cons: Room service was terrible, my steak was super well done but lots of excellent restaurants near by.

Cons: Pool area was very cramped...people ended up just laying on towels on the cement...not enough umbrellas

Cons: A little noisy. The room was on the 5th floor and there was a frequent rumbling sound coming from what sounded like above us. It made it difficult to sleep. I needed ear plugs.

Cons: First of all, they try to hold $100 a night for possible incidentals but could not provide the correct paperwork stating that it was company policy so they use the tactic of trying to stall you out so they don't have to deal with you anymore. Second I didn't like the communication the front desk lacked, I didn't like that there was a pool but no Jacuzzi, I did not like that I had to pay $45 over night to park my car or the fact that all the parking circling the hotel was 2 hour metered parking starting at 8am. The valet service guys at times were more helpful then the front desk in curing any issues I had. This place is only for out of town business people. People with a company card who are looking to pay high for food and minimal fun.

Cons: San Diego! Great city, but research your hotel carefully. There are lots of nonsense outfits like The Renaissance waiting to take your money for garbage service!

Cons: The service was sub-par. Since they don't have electrical kettles in the room, we ordered some hot water for tea. After 30 minutes and several more phone calls, nothing showed up, even the operator told us she called house keeping several times. We had to give up and find a cafe nearby. The room was not as clean as the Sheraton we stayed at previous night. There are old coffee stains on the carpet, rust marks in the shower. The hot water actually ran out when I took a shower, first time ever at a 4-star hotel. The front desk wasn't that helpful either, keep referring to a printout when asked for recommendations, not exactly concierge level of knowledge of the city as one would expect at a nice hotel.

Cons: The air conditioning seemed to be rather old and was positioned in the far left corner of the room in the wall. There was only one vent and only went down to 65°. Although that seems low, it felt more like 69° or 70°. For such a small room the air-conditioning still didn’t seem to do the job well. As far as the location it was suitably placed around areas of interest such as restaurants and bars. But it was also adjacent to a courthouse and jail. Although I did not feel unsafe in the least, it did mean we heard sirens all throughout the day and night. I think it would help to have double pained windows to minimize the noise. When seeing pictures online one of the biggest reasons we decided to book the hotel was the rooftop bar and restaurant. As our vacation was to celebrate my 34th birthday, we thought that that might be a great place to have a nice dinner. Unfortunately, we stayed at a time when they had odd hours and were not open much of the time we stayed which was disappointing. The parking was outrageous at $48 a night.

Cons: I didn’t like that I had to call for housekeeping after being gone all day. They either forgot my room or got backed up really bad but never notified me. Also my tub kept dripping and light was burned out in the room.

Cons: No refrigerator in the rooms.

Cons: The room was clean and comfortable but very small. If was very noisy each morning and due to the location there are homeless people everywhere. The smell of urine is prevalent on the streets as you walk around and are constantly accosted for money. The roof top bar is very expensive and in need of a remodel. This is an extremely over priced hotel in a poor location that would be average at half the price.

Cons: No bath robes.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: Check out was a line

Cons: The parking was very expensive 45.00 a day.

Cons: Rooftop was not ready at 5 as scheduled

Cons: Everything

Cons: The TV kept freezing and I would have to restart it. The TV was laggy. Maybe because of the WiFi or the tv itself

Cons: No fridge. Expensive valet. No breakfast.

Cons: The room was old, smelled weird, horrible wi-fi that kept kicking us off, mini fridge upon request?! Overall felt the price did not match the quality of room we received. Would NEVER stay here again or recommend to anyone!

Cons: The breakfast

Cons: I feel there really isn't any reason to complain

Cons: There really isn't much to complain about for this hotel. The only thing was that the hallway smelled like residual cigarette smoke, but the rooms themselves did not smell like smoke, which was great.

Cons: Noisy, sketchy area, long walk from 5th ave bars, outdated.

Cons: The connecting door to the bathroom needed to be altered as the handle slid past the door opening and I caught my thumb in the handle and it was bruised.

Cons: - Front desk was very rude regarding issues we had with our room. - Rooms were loud. We were woken up by 5AM every morning with work trucks or delivery trucks up and down the street. They moved us from one room to another room that was equally as loud. Then again, but only after trying to get us to pay additional. They put us on the lowest floor next to the street after telling us they'd put us high up to eliminate some of the noise in the mornings. Ultimately, we had to buy ear plugs to get any kind of sleep the room. You can also hear conversations of other guests through the paper thin walls. - Rooms were tiny. - Would never stay here again.
