We chose this hotel because of the location, and it did not disappoint! We were steps away from the USS Midway (which we were planning to see), and were pleasantly surprised by the Promenade along the Harbor, which was just across the street. We utilised room service twice, and would have to say the quality of the room service (Pacific Fish Company) was above average for most hotels. Valet Parking - positives and negatives there. The price was in-line with most other hotels, but the fact that Valet was the only option was disappointing as I believe they park the cars in the same building, just around the corner. On a positve note, the Valet was very efficient, and we never had to wait for our vehicle, especially when calling ahead.

We stayed here last year and decided to stay again as we had a good experience. We are a family of 2 adults and a 2 year old. We like having a separate living room area so we can have our son in another room for a more peaceful nights sleep. The rooms are huge and well equipped - the only complaint about the rooms is that the decor is very drab - lots of brown.

The breakfast is great and it's nice to find somewhere that includes breakfast in the price. There is a great selection including a cooked breakfast and cereals, yoghurts, breads etc. A bigger selection of fruit would have been appreciated, but then we were in the minority. Most people were eating the fried food (and lots of it)! The managers reception in the evening is also a nice touch.

Check in and out was easy enough and the valet parking was straight forward. Yes it is expensive, but can anyone tell me where you can find it cheaper in a location like this? The location of this hotel is perfect. It's right next to Sea Port village and it's a few blocks walk to the Gaslamp area. We didn't want to be in the middle of it all and staying somewhere a bit quieter was appreciated.

The only real complaint was the booking process. I was shopping around to get the best price, and phoned up the hotel direct. The woman told me that if I booked directly with them they would be able to guarantee a cot for my son, whereas if we booked through a 3rd party, they could only request it and not guarantee it. So we booked direct and then when the email confirmation came through, it said a cot had been requested but it wasn't guaranteed. When I phoned back I was told that they couldn't guarantee them (which is not ideal when you're flying from the UK and can't bring one with you). The manager though did sort everything out for us though, and upgraded our room by way of an apology, so great on customer service. We will be back if we're in San Diego again.

$29 for valet parking only?! Your standard ES, with good location. Manager's reception--seen better (snack-wise), seen worse. Drinks--2-3 different beers on tap--good. Breakfast--inconsistent--some mornings just had line cook and the wait was out the dining area into the lobby--UNSAT! Put items on the buffet line EVERY DAY!

Let me start off by stating that I'm a sucker for suites since my 2 kids were born. Any hotel that gives me a separate bedroom from living area is a major plus and it doesn't hurt that they offer free hot breakfast and manager's reception in the evening.

I booked 2 rooms at the hotel, 1 for my parents who were traveling with us and 1 for my family. The hotel was able to get us rooms next to each other but in order to have a joining door, we both had to get king bed rooms, which was no good for us since we have 2 kids. Ended up both getting 2 queen beds and they gave us the top floor of the hotel with a view of both the city and the harbor.

The rooms were nicely furbished, clean, yet a bit dated. Won't ding them for it but they should at least paint it to hide some of the scratches and dents in them. It's a pretty standard Embassy Suites room with a TV in both rooms and bathroom that is big. We ordered some extra towels and the staff was up in our room in 5 minutes with a stack of towels to my wife's liking.

Breakfast was good with not much waiting and there were plenty of tables for seating. Manager's reception was also very good with the staff constantly restocking the drinks and the snacks but be aware that they do shut it down right on the dot. Don't be late. They offer no apologies for being late.

In the end, I enjoyed our hotel stay here. Would go back again shortly.
