San Diego hotels near Port of San Diego

Cons: The glass shower in the middle of the room is just plain weird. There are not a lot of people I want to see shower. It just feels intimate in a very out-of-place kind of way. My friend and I went out for the evening and came back for an nightcap at the bar. Much to our disappointment, they did 'last call' early, so we missed out on a final drink. It feels like a new hotel needs to create some consistency if it hopes to catch on. The hotel seems very focused on the pool and making the 'pool scene' a thing. The cabanas, the artfully arranged pillows, the champagne buckets. It felt like they were trying too hard to woo locals, as opposed to cater to hotel guests. And there were a lot of staff standing around talking to each other whenever I was in the lobby or at the front desk. I often felt like I, as the guest, was interrupting their work. :)

Cons: Parking at the hotel was very expensive ($47 per day). The rooms were a little small for the cost of them and it would have been nice if there was a mini-fridge in them. There is also no "sundries" store, so if you want a drink or a snack there is no where to get that. We also called for room service and no one answered the phone.

Cons: The only problem we had was with valet that we told the front desk and they forgot to tell the valet guys and 45 minutes later waiting for the car we approached the guys at the valet and they had no idea that we were waiting for the car. But it wasn’t their fault. They were very nice.

Cons: I know CA has water shortage but the sink water pressure was ridiculously low. So much so that the water temp would not reach warm. I ended up using the shower for brushing my teeth. The garage does not accomedate large cars which made it difficult to park the Suburban, not XL just normal size. There are some spots but the compact cars park there and 90% of the parking spots are really compact. The stairs in the parking structure need to be cleaned and aired out they have an intense urine smell. We like to take the stairs but kept with the elevator for that reason.

Cons: When I woke up in the AM i noticed my iPhone was covered in dust. I then noticed the desk with my black laptop, across from the air conditioning vent was also covered in dust particles. This is a big deal for me because I have a dust mite allergy, but still have never seen this level of dust collect just overnight. I think the air filter vents in these rooms are very very dirty and just blow dust all night as Long as the AC is running. I was extremely congested all day due to my allergy and had a hard day networking at my convention. Also, the TV service this day and age is sub-poor. No guide and some of the channels didn't work "no signal".

Cons: Snooty front desk clerk: I was staying 2 nights on SPG points, an SPG Gold member. Took advantage of early check in and 4pm checkout - that was great. Front desk clerk says: "Sorry can't upgrade you at checkin." And I say, if I didn't check in until after my day's activities after 6pm, could I get an upgrade?" response: "No". So why did you even say that sh*t in the first place? Total droid. Also, downtown San Diego is a dreary place indeed. Homelessness abounds. And while there are nice restaurants within a mile, this particular stretch of Broadway isn't much...

Cons: The Spa Suite was a little plain in appearance for a luxury hotel but the therapist was excellent.

Cons: The pillows and I would ask not to stay facing fourth Street again.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The room smells like mold. I stated 5 hours and left. Booked a hotel next door. Worst experience ever.

Cons: Very noisy on the 4th floor exterior room all night long on a weekend.. I requested a room with a view and got a view of the rundown buildingf to peo next to us and listene.

Cons: The charge for parking is too high. We parked on nearby streets for a tenth of the cost.

Cons: The hotel cannot control this, but the area is filled with homeless and panhandlers that made it uncomfortable to walk to the Gaslamp district or Midway museum (it's worse on 4th Street). Next time we will likely stay close to the waterfront where the problem seems to be lessened.

Cons: Beds were terrible and room was small

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: 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: Rooftop was not ready at 5 as scheduled

Cons: One of my towels was dirty upon arrival.

Cons: Mattresses are too soft

Cons: Was charged for a king suite and received a regular room. Haven't received the credit yet.

Cons: They didn't offer me an upgrade like the first time.

Cons: VERY EXPENSIVE. Many hidden fees. Noise due to traffic. Not recommended for kids. Crowded.

Cons: Stop charging resort fees. Include microwave and minifridge in each room.

Cons: After checking in and not an early check in were were barged in by the cleaning staff. That could have been embarrassing, right! Then I get an email a day after checkout with a 93.00 minibar charge we took 2 waters and two beers, even at crazy assed minibar prices that doesn't add up to 93.00. It is disappointing because we really had a good time and I like the hotel and their staff, but I don't like being screwed!

Cons: High price

Cons: Pool area needs a revamp. Unclean. Poor service. Gym could be better.
