I appreciated the hotel's central location. It was easy to walk to many bars and restaurants. Padres Stadium was also a short walk. I took advantage of the free bikes at the valet. The hotel's tropical theme was fun. My room overlooked the pool area. I listened to live music from my window one day. The room was quiet and a good size. The hotel has free cold water. Staff refilled the water stations frequently.
The room was a bit cramped.
