Found Hotel San Diego

The bed and pillows are dreamy! The room is immaculate and larger than expected. The building is an older, historic building but beautifully maintained and decorated with lovely antiques. The staff are all extremely kind and efficient especially Kitty at the front desk. She went out of her way for us at check in when we went to pay for our room. We handed her cash for the 2 nights and she said she was sorry but for security reasons they did not accept cash and could not make change. We do not carry credit cards so we didn’t know what to do. We were about to go to the convenience store to bring exact cash to her, but she said, “Wait a minute. I can use my card to pay for the room and you can pay me back in cash.” What a sweetheart. Not only that, but after the nightmare of driving around town for an hour and 40 mins. trying to find parking and ending up paying $15 for 2 hrs., she gave up her parking spot to us right in front of the hotel and we were able to stay there all night. Free parking! She should get a bonus! Breakfast was simple but very fresh and the coffee was delicious.

PARKING IS A NIGHTMARE!! We were not prepared for the hour and 40 minutes of circling the city trying to find street parking. We finally relented and paid $15 for 2 hours at a parking lot. At 4pm the rates go to $18 for 9 hrs. This was 3 blocks away and no in and out privileges! Very frustrating. My wife and I are 68 & 73 yrs. old and not in great health. Perhaps there is a way the hotel could offer a voucher or a plan where some of the parking would be covered in the price of the room. Especially for guests staying more than 1 night.

The location was really great, walking or scootering distance to everything I wanted to do. The hotel staff was second to none....extremely helpful and friendly. For a San Diego boutique hotel, this was what I expected.

The breakfast was lacking in my opinion. Costco bagels was the main feature. It would have been nice to have some fresh fruit and hot breakfast items to start the day.
