Top Whistle Stop Hotel Reviews

Lafayette Hotel & Club

10/10 Excellent

"Beau"

Omni San Diego Hotel at the Ballpark

8/10 Good

"My stay began with an excellent first impression. A kind young gentleman and the welcoming front desk staff greeted me warmly upon arrival. Unfortunately, my departure experience was very different. On Monday morning, I called the front desk to request a two-hour extension beyond the 11 a.m. checkout time. The gentleman I spoke with was unfriendly and quoted $100 for just one additional hour. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was transferred to someone whose name I believe was Christin or Christi. Her tone felt rude and dismissive, as though my request was a waste of her time. The hotel appeared unusually quiet, and I was unaware of any convention or baseball game that might explain limited availability. I understand that late checkout is subject to availability and may involve a fee. What disappointed me most was the lack of courtesy or willingness to discuss alternatives. As a frequent traveler, I know how much a departure experience can influence the decision to return. Omni likely invests heavily in attracting guests, yet a dismissive interaction can quickly undo that investment. The property itself is lovely, and the other staff members I encountered were courteous and professional. I have also enjoyed stays at other Omni properties. However, the $75 valet charge seemed steep—roughly $20–$25 more than I have paid at comparable hotels. Overall, a pleasant arrival and an attractive property were overshadowed by disappointing service at checkout."

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was easy to work with. Location was perfect and the biggest reason I booked. Building is old, walls are thin, climate control was a portable a/c unit affixed to the wall that turned on and off throughout the night. Room was updated but needs a deep cleaning. Wall vent is fuzzy and bathroom floor boards scuzzy. But hey, I slept good enough, felt safe, and walked to everything. Loved the view."

Keating Hotel By At Mine Hospitality

8/10 Good

"This stay was interesting to say the least. The room was a mix between an old school/hospital/jail room. The door to the room didn’t have a dead bolt or security bolt, only a latch. And also it was a push door with a lock, so the handle was useless. It’s in the middle of a very noisy block, the room basically shakes until 2am, but they provide earplugs. The shower reminded me of a locker room shower, as well as the sinks. Besides what I mentioned just being unexpected, the bed was comfy, the staff was very nice."
