The worst part of this hotel is the heating system. We walked in the room and it was at 66 degrees. We turned on the heater and two hours later it was at 67 degrees. The front desk stated the heater takes a while to heat. At 0500 the temp in the room 70 degrees. I couldn’t sleep because it was so cold. We checked out and went to the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay! It’s always amazing!

Staff was very nice. The room was clean and the bathroom modern. We were on the second floor and they give you complimentary ear plugs and sound machine to drown out noise (from the street it’s assumed) but it wasn’t loud during the week. What was loud is the cleaners who were vacuuming right outside our door at 9 and the chairs were being moved around in the upstairs unit all night. Maybe it’s a banquet room or something. Parking is $65 per night - ouch! Would probably not stay again.

We arrived late on New Year’s Eve and the front desk person was nowhere to be found. The front door was closed and secured as it was New Year’s Eve but we were stuck outside for nearly 30 minutes until she returned. When she did return she acted a little put out to doing her job. Not really what we wanted to deal with after spending a day traveling Proximity to the loud night clubs was a surprise, as they are blasting music until 2am or so every night. The saving grace was a white noise machine, but it didn’t block enough out. Not the hotels fault. The room was clean, and well appointed. Housekeeping was great. Proximity to a variety of restaurants, the trolley system were pluses for us.
