The Bristol Hotel San Diego

The Bristol Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good
"This is a perfectly fine option if you need to be near downtown. Nothing fancy, but the beds are comfy and the rooms are clean. I did need a white noise app on my iPad to drown out street noise but it did the trick. The gym is actually one of the better hotel gyms I’ve encountered!"
