Great staff! Our room was above the bowling alley, and the noise didn’t stop until 1:30 am😳 The earplugs in the room should have given us a heads up. The restaurant on site was delicious & so fun! Great menu selection. Drinks were small and pricy but good.

This hotel was so unique it transported me to another place, which was just what I needed after a long work day. The restaurants were also very different and delicious. My room was beautifully decorated and I marveled at who the designer might have been. I will stay there again when in San Diego.
