Well-maintained Public spaces clean and inviting Breakfast typical for this sort of place

Staff courteous Our room, basically a 1-bedroom apartment, was in decent shape and reasonable sizeUnfortunately this property has completely bought into Marriott’s attempt to eliminate room cleanings during guests’ stays We checked in for 12 nights and were asked, verbatim, “you don’t want any room cleanings, do you?” For 12 nights, well, yes Eventually they offered light cleanings every 2-3 days and a full cleaning after 6 *None* of these cleanings occurred except when we called the desk and asked “hey, what about the cleaning?” Eventually we gave up, got fresh towels from the carts, and left our trash in the hallThis is a decent place for a 1-2 night stay, but I can’t recommend it for anything longer, since the hotel is actively trying to avoid cleaning its rooms during long visits

Andrew Berks

Room was dated The general appearance was dated A bigger issue was the lighting was harsh (5000K lights not warm) and poor – the bathroom didn’t have a good light

Phone system was broken so I had to go the front desk to resolve an issue My room had a mini-kitchen I didn’t know about that in advance but I find it hard to believe it is that helpful The nearest supermarket isn’t that close Gym was very small, but the pool was nice and warm

Keenan Grana

The check in process was very quick and simple We used their valet services for $38 which goes until 3:00 PM the next day It is equivalent to the ace parking next door if not cheaper

The room was very clean and reflective of updates and refurbishments as well as them keeping quite a bit original from 1912 Very cool!Our room had everything we needed in our kitchen cabinets Utensils, plates, microwave, mini fridge etcThe bathroom was very cleanWe absolutely loved our little window nook! It has a cushion to sit on at the window and see the view of the gas lampThe location was excellent we accessed several restaurants, clubs, and really anything you need within a short walkOver all a great experience, we experienced no outside noise while we were here which had mixed reviews when we were searching for a place to stayThey even left a happy birthday print out note for my friend which I requested upon arrival! So so sweet, she loved it! Thank you!

Elisabeth Hawkins

The building is so beautiful and everyone we met was so nice (even when they were a little salty they were pretty funny) They were also very accommodating I’m always freezing and they brought me a blanket

Sounds dumb but it was really appreciated We had a view of the whole city from our room and even if you don’t the rooftop view was amazing They didn’t have dining while we were there so we ordered in but it was still romantic It’s so close to every possible restaurant you could wantSide note, I left my prescription glasses behind and staff were so wonderful making sure I got them back to Washington!

La-Shawna Young

I would highly recommend GPS! Upon arrival I was informed that my room had been upgraded but wasn’t ready yet I was surprised to hear of the upgrade and had no problem waiting for it! They stowed my luggage which was lovely, I was able to explore glaslamp while I waited for my room The room was beautiful and came with everything you’d expect a suite to have

Mary at the front desk is an absolute treasure! She was a ray of light! Honestly everyone that I encountered during my stay was friendly and helpful I would stay again without hesitation 10/10

My wife and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hotel Indigo We brought our 6 month old daughter and also our dog and had a ton of things to take up to our room I didn’t catch her name unfortunately but the valet was incredibly kind and not only helped us load up our items but also took them up to our room for us

Every single person we dealt with from the valet to the front desk to the restaurant were over and above helpful and kind It was so, so appreciated being new parents! Other than the fabulous staff, our room was great with a view of the baseball stadium The location couldn’t have been better We could basically walk to most downtown locations Will definitely be staying here again!

Michele Annino

Upon arriving few hour before the Padres game Saturday night, the valet were abundant and quick to take our car and check us in As it was crowded, we took our own small bags in our room Only 2 elevators, so there was a wait with so many people but doable

Room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was roomy with lots of counter space, which is a bigger for usRooftop bar was lovely, with great views of Petco park but staff was minimal so wait was long for our drink orderNext morning was a bit of a nightmare as hardly any personal to be seen in lobby, and it took over 30 minutes for valet to retrieve our car Maybe it’s a sign of the times to be short handed with staff, but why the discrepancy from one day to the other?Also, lots of dogs We are animal lovers so don’t mind well behaved dogs, but some of the dog owners were a bit slouchyWith the running of the dogs, a little out if controlAll in all, a good experience but we would only stay there again for a Padres game, being a close walking distance to the game

Doris T

Very friendly staff Stayed here for five nights Hotel is not currently doing housekeeping during stay but staff is so nice about dropping off towels when asked for

The rooms are big with hardwood floors which I like Fitness and business center on site which I did need to print something so came in handyLocated near little Italy (30 minute walk) and Cornado to watch the beautiful sunsets (10 minute drive) About 15 minute drive to the airport

This is by far our best experience At first it was kind of hard to find the lobby and the hotel was more secure than other hotels we’ve stayed in, but there was a purpose to that which you’ll learn about if you do the guided tour at the hotel concierge desk Our room was not that big but the beds are very comfortable

This hotel is very rich in history Highly recommended to experience this history for yourself and your family Even the kids really enjoyed the guided tour, it was very informative Our tour guide knew a lot about this hotel We will definitely come back again in the future

Rolando Jaimez

Loved this place Get ready to be treated with excellent service The rooms are well designed

Enjoyed the comfortable bed and the bathroom was very clean There is only valet parking on site It is located within walking distance to many restaurants The food at the restaurant was delicious Bagel in the morning with coffee was a great way to start the day

Ashlee Hathaway

We stayed here during Comic Con 2022 and had a wonderful time The hotel itself is gorgeous Everyone that we encountered that worked there were so nice and helpful

We had a really great breakfast one morning and enjoyed the lounge in the eveningThe hotel itself was situated close to everything in the Gaslamp and about 15 minute walk to the convention center There were also a few cafes really close for a quick breakfast on our way in the morningThe hotel was so nice to come back to each night It was quiet and the room was so comfortable The bed was amazing and I loved the toiletriesI would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat

Templet

Beautiful lobby, great theme, and presumably very fun parties Unfortunately the rooms (at least the one we stayed in) are at most adequate Scant hot water in the showers, no soundproofing (which is especially bad when the rooms overlook common spaces and there are parties held), and when we arrived the toilet was clogged

The staff were immensely nice, but we also had to ask three times to get someone to come in with a plunger Overall, it was a cheap enough option and it wasn’t unsafe at all but it also wasn’t an ideal room to stay in

Katie Spencer

Unfortunately the other reviews claiming the rooms do not match what is portrayed on their website is accurate (at least for our short stay) the hotel lobby and pool area are very cute and the staff is incredible but once you leave the retro lobby it starts to go downhill quick The hallways have stains on their walls and carpet The two rooms we saw were decorated with beige stained walls, stained and smelly brown carpet and old sticky furniture

the walls are paper thin, the bathrooms hadn’t been cleaned and the rooms themselves had never been dusted The frustration is the price point of this hotel is way too high for the quality of the rooms My guess is the rooms by the pools are nicer The hotel was very helpful and nice enough to confirm a full refund for our three night stay The two stars is solely based on how nice the staff is and communication was seamless

Beth B

Definitely a BIG NO The rooms are dirty and in need of a great deal of maintenance Walls are dirty, shower as well

The drapes on the window were ripped The art on the wall, frames were damaged The towels need to be gathered up and thrown away The mattress was old and wore out I made the mistake of walking barefoot in the room once, the bottom of my feet were completely black I tried to use the pool, the tiles were slimy Apparently they charge $20 a day for the public to use the pool So at any given time there are a ton of loud people and kids in the pool Definitely not as described when you book it I would have rather spent more money to have an enjoyable stay anywhere else I made the mistake of booking this place based on the description and should have done my homework and read the reviews

I’m loving the Marriott Pulse San Diego! The check in was great and the room was nicely furnished They have a nice bar with great food selections if you want to stay in My only issue was the TV was set to high bright so when watched it was super bright, but who watches much TV on vacation anyway

Perfectly situated downtown so walking distance to most places If you want a ride they have the Circuit system so you can take a quick ride to almost all the tourist sitesI’ll be back soon!

Ben Snodin

Firstly just to mention parking, as all the reviews complain about it: valet or self park are both expensive or difficult! (39/50 a day)We avoided this and parked on the street opposite (free 1800-0800) and in the Ace lot across the street for Sat daytime Total cost $21 Friday to Monday (vs ~$200 for valet)

We had no problems leaving the car, but made sure to remove everythingHotel: great location, a few minutes walk from downtown and 10s of great bars and restaurantsRoom: well designed, different sections make it seem more spacious Great bathroom Kitchen is well equipped but only has a microwave and toaster so don’t plan to cook muchStaff: very welcoming and friendly!Cleanliness: excellent! There’s no daily service currently but that was fine for usValue: best rate we found in downtown, rate through Marriott was most competitiveOverall a great stay, and San Diego is a really cool city!

Lance J

We recently stayed here for a wedding we had to attendThe parking garage makes the most sense in Downtown San Diego and it was around 40 a night The parking garage is a tight area and you may need someone to guide you as you park

We arrived early before check in and the staff upgraded us to a better roomThe staff were very professional and made us feel very appreciatedThe hotel was very clean and they had plenty of sanitation around for employees and guestRooms were very pleasant as well, with plenty of spaceThe location of the hotel has you near a lot of local attractions

I was fortunate enough to have the company I worked for put me up at this beautiful hotel for a business trip I was here for two days and enjoyed every minute of it First of all I love San Diego so this was a double plus for me

The staff here were unbeatable and went out of their way to make sure my stay was pleasant and to make sure I had everything I needed My room was very nice and the bed so comfortable I really enjoyed my stay and it didn’t feel like work, more like a mini vacation Thank you everyone there for all of your caring and hard work

Kobié Jacobs

First of all service here by the staff is tops Beyond professional they just really seem to care about your comfort and needs so are quick to respond to any requests or questions Hotel itself is very nice and clean

Rooms are comfortable Layout is easy to navigate Lobby decor is beautiful Just an overall elegant but comfy vibe Only reason for 4 stars is completely subjective I like a hotel with nice views My options seem to be a view overlooking the roof of the lobby and then the freeway or a shopping center There are restaurants, FedEx and other shops right off the second floor which is nice but the neighborhood isn’t very walkable Only other strike was that there was no mini fridge in the room which I thought was strange All minor issues in the end Room rate was surprisingly low compared to other options in the area for the quality I’ll definitely stay here again

regis kwong

Excellent hotel with great service Conveniently located in the mission Valley area surrounded with many great restaurants and shops The service is extraordinary and friendly

They were very accommodating on all our requests The rooms are clean and roomy The lobby has very good vibes buzzy with cool musics and people Facility is new with swimming pool and well equipped gymWith the hotel located right next to the major freeway, it’s easy to get to the hotel For people that are here on vacation, this is a great hotel stay in as it is very close to the beach, restaurants and all the attractions in San Diego without expensive costs associated with the bay and beach hotelsParking is $35 a night which is much cheaper than the other hotels

I’ve stayed all over the world in a variety of Marriott properties and this one stands out to me The staff here really went above and beyond Aaron worked the evening shift each night and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome (Eduardo too!)

Aaron, you’re the man! I’ll recommend to colleagues because you made the visit personal Thanks for everythingFor those wondering about the hotel, it’s a nice property I didn’t see a pool, but they do have a gym that’s 24 hours, which is pretty nice They also have a garage for the cars, but I’d recommend getting a small vehicle because it’s tight around the corners

This review is regarding Gabrielle who works the front desk

she is the best She goes above and beyond to make sure that the guest have exactly what they need to have a wonderful stay Her customer service is top notch It doesn’t matter what time of day Gabrielle always has a smile on her face I wish I could give 10 stars If you stay at this location stop by and say hi Gabrielle 👋🏼

Douglas Brown

This property and staff absolutely ROCK! I had to make a last-minute trip to San Diego last week and came in on a late flight Aaron greeted me upon my arrival and made sure I had everything I needed to rest and unwind after a highly stressful day The room was fantastic

Fully equipped with a supremely comfortable bed and kitchenette including a cooktop, fridge, dishes and dishwasher This place is clean with an updated aesthetic Location is in easy walking distance from the Gaslamp Quarter of downtown They also have a lovely outdoor space where I managed to meet quite a number of cool, fun people while relaxing outside during the week This is my forever go-to accommodation while in San Diego! Great people, amenities, kind assistance, and passion for this beautiful city Thank you Aaron et al!

Well I don’t know where to start Came in from out of town to just get awayWe called customer service to go to the Hilton on Mission Valley by the mall and as we drove to the location given it was mission valley stadium and did not match the pictures

As we checked in the front desk told us immediately if we switched hotels we still will be charged for three days because we needed to give 24 hours Mind you the reservation was made the same day Not understanding why a simple switch could not be made as we noticed a whole homeless camp in the back parking lot Called customer or corporate line to ask if we could switch and the customer service agent said why did we choose this hotel and not what we wanted as we explained to her we are from out of town and did not know we would of been deceived After telling us she needed to hear the tape to see if we made the mistake or the employee made the mistake Agent was rude and only listened to provide a response and not one of a customer service agent When asked if we could speak to her manager she replied she doesn’t have a manager as we called the top leave of service for Hilton and she was the boss My reply everyone answers to someone and she said she was the top and will send us an investigation As we were on the phone my husband noticed Hilton deducted 202200 from his credit card This was mentioned to top level phone agent and her reply was that wasn’t her concern as she is only focusing if we made the mistake of choosing the wrong hotel We immediately called front desk to make them aware and a male staff member hung up after being confronted about that amount and we called back and a female staff member acknowledged she was aware and they are working on it and it will be refunded in 24 hours 2 days later money was not returned and we were quoted 59400 There were no light bulbs in two of the lamps and a light bulb missing on one of mini reading lamps We don’t smoke and it reeked of stale cigarettes There was dried blood on the sheets Also we had to call the front desk to ask for new wash clothes and clean sheets as no one bothered to clean our room Tomorrow is our check out 4/21/2922 just in case there is a lie to justify the stealing of 2 grand Very disappointed in how this makes the Hilton name to become tarnished

Jill Galbraith

I am giving 4 stars because the good outweighs the badNear many restaurants and stores The only disabled parking spot they have is large

Extremely helpful staff, especially midnight clerk and GM Good food at the restaurant Putting restaurant tab on hotel bill was extremely convenient Nice selection in the store Clean in the common areas and rooms Nice amenities in rooms and lobby The pool was beautiful and the workout room was excellent and very well equipped The guest safes were convenient and a lifesaverHuge homeless camp behind hotel, so tons of foot traffic through the driveway Delivery trucks block driveway throughout the day No coffee available after 10am No lunch at restaurantLots of small things broken in the rooms, but manager took the problems seriously and repairs were made promptly Minor issue with one of the elevators, and the ice machine on the 2nd floor is broken, loud and leakingWe would definitely stay again due to the staff’s commitment to our comfort, convenience, and security

San Xiong

This is the worst Hilton in San Diego, CA The way they took the angle of the hotel looks clean and big but once we arrived, the area is a dump, squash between Jack in the Box like this hotel was in the back alley

in which it is On the outside parking in the rear, you will see homeless encampment It is not safe and be aware that the camera inside the garage only have one view take and make sure you park once you enter the garageif you go further to where you are heading out, there is no camera in which that the camera angle only the entrance and not the other side The elevator and the hallway to any floors smell and has no air condition No complimentary breakfast in which they will charge you $2100 per person We told the front desk, we do not want serviceand they come anyway This place only looks good in the front main entrance to check in but the room are terriblepower outlet do not work, no fan vent in the restroom, and trust methey will try to charge you extra fees Parking is $1500 a night but you see other encampment RV park inside and they did not even care We only put friend family pet in the room for a min of 30 minutes and were charge $7500 for a service fee Stay away from this place and rent the one by the waterfront Other customer that slept during those days we stay said their bathroom was clogged and none of the maintenance did not care We have pay a premium during our stay in July of 2022and it was the worst stay At least have a security on duty patrolling the parking Have extra hotel luggage cart We have ask many time and they said they do not have it, in which we found out they only have 3 cart throughout the hotel in which we were lucking that one of the customer gave it to us down in the basement parking I would not come back to this placeI have seen many customer just walk across the alley to other restaurant to buy breakfast every morning It is a sad location and they need to disclose it online so everyone should be aware of booking it Be aware, check Google map 3d and you will thank me! Going back to lower end of other hotel that offer better service, complimentary, and care about customer spending these nights there

The hotel staff are amazing, friendly, accommodating, respectful, and so much moreThe room was excellent

Only weird part was the carpet was a bit dingy/old Beyond that it was nice and spaciousThe hotel game room oddly had to be reserved but it was small room so makes senseIf you need a bell-dolly for your luggage they’re is only 3 in the entire hotel Why? No idea but makes no sense for a hotel of that sizeSelf serve Breakfast is greatBbq area is greatLocation is fantastic

This is the perfect location if you want to stay close to family and friends Love waking up in the morning to work out at the gym After working out has some delicious breakfast and coffee

At night time you can go outside have a drink by the fire pit The only issue I had was a customer service issue other than that I really enjoyed my stay and definitely will be staying here again

Steff A.

I stayed there recently for a one night Saturday night stay and it was fantastic from beginning to end

Check In: My reservation was booked through the Hilton website The front desk attendant was so friendly she provided us 2 bottles of water at check in She explained to us the facilities and the complimentary breakfast for the next morning I received a text message later welcoming me again and to text back if I needed anything Lastly, the housekeeping supervisor assigned to our room stopped by and introduced herself to us She told us not to hesitate to reach out if we need anything AwesomeFacilities and room: We had a two queen room and the room was spotless The TVs worked well and all the furniture and decor was contemporary and appeared brand new The bathroom was spacious, clean and had strong water pressure and no shortage of hot water This is very important to me lolMiscellaneous: The complimentary had some hot dishes of eggs, breakfast meats and plenty of bagels, pastries, fruits, juice etc They had a staff of 3 attending to everyone and they did great Don’t forget to tip! The lobby was spacious and the business area section had plenty of table space if you need go spread out and get some work done There was no charge for parking which we totally appreciated as wellNext time I’m in Chula Vista visiting my buddy and his fam, I will definitely stay at Homewood Suites again if need be Safe Travels all!

Alisha N. Poole

kids loved watching the Navy Carriers and Destroyers float by in the mornings! The room was spacious and clean, with two queen beds and plenty of room for the pack n’ play we brought The beds were comfortable and everyone slept really well With the fan on we had no noise issues; we didn’t turn it off for our whole stay so I can’t say what the noise was like without the background noise of the fan

The patio was wonderful to sit and look out at the bay The kids loved swimming in the pools and walking along the marina behind the hotel The restaurant was pricey but the food was really good, and the staff were so friendly, especially toward the children We already plan to stay here again the next time we visit San Diego!

First, we have to say Melton working the front desk is awesome– easily one of the best customer service at a hotel we have ever experienced During our stay, he addressed all our concerns and went above and beyond to provide us with everything we needed Even when there was a line waiting to check-in/out, he was friendly, professional, and purposeful in dealing with everyone

Thank you Melton for taking care of us! Our room was spacious and the complimentary breakfast was really a treat This hotel is located within close walking distance to main attractions, public transportation, restaurants, and groceries stories We would definitely stay here again

This is in a great location, but the parking garage is easily the worst I have ever encountered I saw a couple of people in a mini copper struggling to move around in this thing Other than the parking garage, the hotel itself was nice

The room I had was on a corner, and there was a balcony with a great view of the area It was nice to have the fresh night air blow in for a little while The room was clean and everything was in good working order I slept like a babyWhen I come back again, I’ll bring the smallest rental car I can find

A smaller hotel that doesn’t have a lot of amenities, but is close to all San Diego attractions & freeways The rooms are nice and newly renovated, and the staff is friendly & helpful The beds are comfortable

If you have lots of plans outside in SD, it’s a good place to sleep and then head off Not a destination resort in and of itself

Sarah Allen

My mother and I stayed in this building nearly 10 years ago It is one of two hotels i have truly remembered for more than a month I wish cell photos were a thing back then because I LOOOOOVED the atmosphere

The check in desk has since changed, and yes, definite remodeling We opened the windows at night to have a fresh breeze (no AC at the time), everything was clean, open, and spectacularly amazing We walked all over the place And every single recommendation from the staff was spot on perfection Hubs and I are coming to SD in the fall and I truly hope we can stay here again

Dolly Wuitschick

My son and I had a wonderful time The room was awesome and the balcony where we BBQd was great Everyone was nice and helpful in checking in

This building has some wonderful history but was wonderfully restored Looking forward to coming back We used the MTS bus, Trolley and the Coaster to get around Only used our car 1 time Bummer about the parking but oh well Other places are $50 a night Laundry does need some repair but was free Not going to complain Grocery stores very near by Loved our stay So many great memories!

The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained I didn’t see anything that needed attention (cleaning, picking up trash, etc), for my 4-day stay All staff were helpful and pleasant, helpful, courteous

You have a team that makes people feel like they care about your customersLOCATION is fabulous! Everything you could want (except a mall) is within walking distance, and the area felt safe day and night (so important in these crazy 2022 times)

Elizabeth Ammann

Nice hotel No issues Great location, walking distance to plenty of places and the trolley stop

Loved the poolside music One complaint though is that the only curtain was a black out shade, and we were in a room that you could see right in from the pool Would have been nice to have a sheer curtain that would keep other people from seeing in, but still let light in the room

Gemini Nlove

Had a birthday/mothers day weekend here The hotel and room were gorgeous We got the corner Spa just for the deep soak jet tub! The location was central to so many wonderful food places and bars

We could see the petco stadium from our window Lots of things to explore yet you’re able to relax in the room too Would definitely go back

Stayed here last weekend (& during the padres v dodgers game)The hotel is lovely – there are many restaurant options which are all good The pool is lovely too but does get very busy

Reasons for 3 stars:1 The gluten free pizza was served to us twice at Provisional brunch and it was still raw both times2 There was a pool party on Sunday which was super pretentious and cheap Unfortunately that ruined the pool vibe for us3 The steam room is unavailable to hotel guests unless you have a treatment booked If you want to use it without a treatment, there is a steep charge!4 Despite having an amazing room, there weren’t any perks5 The vibe and crowd at Oxford Social was also weird and felt like a strip clubOverall we did have a lovely time but worth noting the aboveLocation: If you are going to a Petco park game then this hotel is excellently located If you are not and there is a game on – then it can be overwhelming

So glad I booked this hotel! First and foremost, the best part of staying here are the people Everyone is so friendly, helpful and professional Justin the concierge was especially excellent

He guided me to the best parts of town, helped me get a rental car, book restaurants, and find the best beaches Very friendly and incredibly effective Douglas the concierge was also wonderful to work withThe rooms are well appointed with soft sheets, great coffee, and a firm mattress, which was the best part Make sure to ask for a Bay-Facing room Hotel is well appointed, some great design details Food at all their restaurants was excellent and service (except for one morning breakfast) was outstandingI would say this is a very nice hotel, but not a luxury hotel Partly because of its location in the gas lamp district which is pretty run down/decaying these days and party because parts of the hotel need some updatingThe pool area is in need of new furniture and a remodel of the pool and jacuzzi I was disappointed to see the pool area selling areas for non-guests to sit and lounge for a fee There was a group of tweens and teenagers when i first arrived who were loud and acting inappropriately for a place like of this caliberupon asking, I was told they purchased a lounge area for the day and were not staying at the hotel Only guests should be allowed to use the pool area, in my opinionI would also suggest more sophisticated music in the pool area, something upbeat but not “club” orientedthanks again

Friendly staff Clean Great location in gas lamp district

Lots of restaurants Close to Petco stadium Special shout out to Christian at front door who exhibited outstanding kindness welcomed advice and communicated extraordinary respect He definitely exudes a wonderful face for the hotel Made me feel like I was the only guest here

I had a lovely 5 day stay here for a conference Very convenient location, close to convention center, gaslamp district and Trolley stops right in frontMy room on the upper floor had incredible views

Bed was super comfortable and the linens and everything felt very clean All the staff I interacted with were super friendly and helpful Great stay and would definitely stay again!

Welt Reisender

The staff were all very nice and attentive We asked the valet for recommendations on the local sights and sounds They were always enthusiastic and we went to a few spots they recommended and they were spot on

Front desk crew were always friendly and we felt like even though it’s a large resort, the staff always made it feel like you were the only person staying there The room was nice and the view was beautiful The hotel has a bridge that connects to Petco Park stadium and it’s located in downtown across from the convention center It’s a nice place to come back to at the end of a long day of sight seeing I’d recommend staying here if you’re from out of townDefinitely will visit again!

Christina Bell

Amazing staff, so friendly, so quick to help, welcoming every time you enter Great poolside drinks and great bar staff It made our stay so comfortable and smooth

Never once did I encounter an attitude when my group had touristy questions They were all just a positive quick to help team so nice So glad we chose the hotel to stay at for my friend’s bachelorette weekend

My stay at this resort hotel was great the guest and valet are very pleasant they always “welcome you back “ the rooms are clean , has a full kitchen with a fridge and freezer , free Wi-Fi , and it is free to do laundry which is a plus There is a gym with basic equipment, I wish there was better air ventilation, and sanitizing wipes available in the gym to wipe off equipment after use The ceilings are low so don’t try to do tricks with the jump rope

There is also a sauna, and women’s shower in the gym area as well

The hotel itself is LOVELY! Our studio (with 2 kids) was only a little tight but it had everything we needed The space is actually good for 2 adults and 2 under-10s; see the photo for the pull out couch Immaculate cleaning and the mini-kitchen was fantastic

Strong wi-fi I was NOT pleased with the BR set up (Not enough strategically-placed hooks; does Wyndham not take showers??) No W/D in units but excellent basement service was complimentary Not far at all from the train or bus line A PRONTO card makes everything easier! Also, the Circuit app is very, very helpfulHoweverThe location is lovely but economic downturn is reflected on every street We’ve no qualm with this butbe discreet You don’t need to announce your expendable income, which the WRISTBANDS shout out hard Explore MTS etc before your plane lands!We had a room that was co-joined to another There is no bufferthe other family was LOUD, even at 1am There needs to be more insulation to those doors Additionally, the push for the sales presentation was PUSHY We never said nojust let us get in the room to settle the kids and enjoy a bottle of Pinot Nope, nope, the experience was obnoxious
