High expectations, underwhelming experience
When I originally looked at the hotel pictures, it looked completely different. I didn't even recognize it as it looked old and run down. A number of things in the room were rusting and the shower was clean but old and dated. The chairs had stains on them. The valet was great and the fitness center was fine. The location was great!

Enjoyed my stay in San Diego at The Bristol. I liked the location for its proximity to the convention center. It was an easy walk with access to local restaurants and grocery for necessities. Great to be able to walk to entertainment districts without the congestion of staying directly in those areas. Easy access to public transportation options.

Not great.
It was ok. I think what bothered me is the lack of security on the front door - didn't require key card access until 10pm or later, elevators didn't have any key card requirements and even the gym wasn't locked. Rarely was anyone at the reception desk to monitor the front door. The property is older. It is walkable to other attractions and restaurants, which is needed since there is no food on site.

Business Trip
Room 615. The bathroom felt dirty. The metal container that holds the soap/lotion is extremely rusty and old. It should have not been there, it should be in the trash and replaced. The vent above the shower needs to be cleaned and possibly painted. We also chased a cockroach across the room and killed it. I have pictures of both. However, the person that valet our car was very pleasant and helpful. He offered excellent customer service. Also, the person at the reception desk was cordial and attentive. She offered excellent customer service. The overall feel of the hotel was good and the personnel were very attentive. But I was really surprised that a rusty real terrible looking item was in the bathroom. The bottles of soap should probably be replaced, they look worn. One cockroach is one too many. This was a business trip and we used three of your rooms.
