Pros: Very classy, beautifully appointed hotel. Staff helpful, polite and wanted our stay to be as comfortable as possible. Our room was lovely and the turn down service was appreciated - especially the music playing and the low lighting when we returned in the evening. I agree the C street side of building a bit noisy, but would not deter me from staying there again when we are in San Diego.

Pros: I really liked coming back to the room st night and finding the lights dimmed, the bed turned down and nice relaxing misic playing. This was a very nice touch
Cons: The hotel had a musty smell that was unappealing. The concierge and some of the people at the front desk were not very friendly/helpful when I asked about place to get a good fish taco and hoe to get to old down. Made me feel like I was shaking silly questions and bother.

Cons: Our room was not well cleaned from previous stays. We encountered the following:
1. Old pack of cigarettes in the closet
2. Large stain on one of the robes
3. Opened and half consumed water in the mini fridge (as a part of the $15 resort fee you receive 4 free water bottles in the mini fridge)
4. Dirty ice bucket containing a good amount of water/alcohol remains
5. Stepped on a very sharp furniture tack that must have come loose and was on the floor by my bed

Pros: comfortable beds and spacious rooms. Kind and friendly staff, prompt response with broken thermostat. Kind and courteous repair workers.
Cons: There was a few (2) pieces of trash on my bed when I got there (a piece of tissue and a cap to a water bottle). The thermostat dial was broken and I immediately had to call for a repair. My room was directly over train tracks that ran ALL NIGHT LONG!
6.0 Good
Pros: As mentioned, the location is excellent for walking around Little Italy and the Gaslamp district. The staff are friendly and helpful. I like the showers as they are quite spacious and can function as a mini-tub. Overall it was a clean and comfortable environment.
Cons: The room was aligned with the light rail. Every time a train left the adjacent station, the conductor tested the horn. It was too much noise for the hotel not to give us a heads up. Two stars for this "oversight".

Pool was closed for a wedding on Saturday, they told us we could walk six blocks to their sister hotel to swim, not interested.
Wedding party was loud, disruptive.
When we spoke to the manager to express our concern his response was "NO, the noise is not coming from the wedding party on the 4th floor."
We called Kempton Hotels to express our concern, they said a manager would call us back. We did not ever receive a call back.
We will not be staying at a Kempton Hotel in the future

7.1 Good
Pros: The atmosphere was upscale and classy, felt great staying at a great hotel. Room service was a little steep (typical...) but the food was delicious - the staff recommended some foods that were spot on.
Room decor was great, modern and classy. Hardwood floors made it feel a little upscale.
Cons: The bathroom is just a total mess. Shower head position is too low for anyone 5'5" or taller - requiring you to use the head manually (why???).
Bathroom door is a sliding door but doesn't exactly provide too much privacy since you can see through the cracks - perfect angle if you want to watch your friend on the toilet...
Iron was awful - took way too long and was just cheap overall or needed replacing.
Cleanliness was awkward - arrived at the hotel (6pm) and was told our room needs to be cleaned. We arrived in the room, saw the hardwood floors were soaking wet (slipping lawsuit anyone?) and found residual items from the previous guests.
Would be nice to upgrade those 2003 radios to the new iphone 5 or usb players...

Pros: Comfy beds

4.8 OK
Pros: Hotel is in a great location, bed was nice, as was the decor.
Cons: Last two nights there, the lobby smelled like a stadium bathroom, staff was not helpful upon checking in, the front door to the hotel has to be the most awkward door I have ever seen on a hotel. Also, instead of having an actual door on the bathroom, they have a sliding glass door. Just a word of warning, if you have a knock at the door and someone is in the shower be sure to pull the door closed because you can see straight into the shower from the entryway. That is poor planning and inexperience. I would not stay here again nor recommend to anyone.

Pros:
Cons: Many user experience design issues. Rain shower is hard to wash hair in, no ability to angle it at all. No tub and nothing to prop up for to shave legs. No door on shower. Door on bathroom was not a real door and didn't close all the way. Awkward! Certainly not romantic!! Not enough hooks to hang towels. Not enough towels, only gave us 3 for two people. Hairdryer was super cheap, would expect at least a normal one if not a nice one. Nowhere to plug in anything at the desk. Front desk staff seemed very forced/rushed.
Located in Civic Core, this luxury hotel is within a 10-minute walk of Westfield Horton Plaza and Copley Symphony Hall. Petco Park and San Diego Convention Center are also within 15 minutes.
Location.

Pros: Nice lobby with friendly staff greeting us upon arrival. Lots of charm with short excerpts posted throughout highlighting the history of the building. Room was comfortable with all needed amenities for a place to stay. The purpose of our stay was the city. This room gave us a comfy pillow top mattress to rest and recharge each night with complimentary water keeping us hydrated. Workout facility was nice and hardly crowded during our stay. No complaints and would gladly stay here again.

Pros: The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the bed was comfortable.
Cons: The room was very loud. We were able to hear in the most precise detail what was going on in the room next to us (including our neighbor's conversations and television preferences). We ask to be moved, but the second room was equally as bad.

Pros: Loved that our pup was welcome
Cons: Did not like paying $36 a day for parking

Pros: Amazing staff. Overall very nice hotel.
Cons: Dust. This is the the only minus.

This room gave us a comfy pillow top mattress to rest and recharge each night with complimentary water keeping us hydrated. Workout facility was nice and hardly crowded during our stay. No complaints and would gladly stay here again.
Cons: Rooms were small. There was no view including limited sunlight through the window plus the "green" lighting made it so you had to turn every light in the room on when getting ready. Bathroom was small and no vent :-/. Closet didn't open all the way due to being obstructed by the bedside table (again, room was small). I'm being as honest as possible with these negative, but the purpose of the room was met and the pros far exceeded the cons during our stay.

2.0 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing
Cons: This is by far the worst hotel I've ever been in! The room, (505) was so small that I think they had to build the room around the bed. It was so small that the bathroom had to have a sliding door. I truly don't believe a normal door would be able to open / close. The air conditioning didn't work and the overall area seemed seedy. Numerous bailed bond companies with likely clients in the area. When I asked about the area the clerk advised, "Just stay on Broaday."

Cons: I was surprised to have to pay a mandatory fee for services that I did not use or want. I thought that was very unfair of the hotel.

Pros: Great location in the city

Pros: Beautiful views, comfortable beds , very spacious suite overall value for the price is excellent. would definitely stay again
Cons: no refrigerator even after calling and requesting one 2 different times before arriving.
4.5 OK
Pros:
Cons: The pool was closed. The door was boring. Nothing to do at the hotel. Basically walked in and out of the hotel and paid $30 each day for parking. There's much more fun and intriguing hotels else were. I was born and raised in San Diego and visit often in hotel stays. This definitely isn't a vibe I'd like to stay in again.
8.0 Excellent
Pros: For the price, this place is great! Beautiful views from our room on the 26th floor. You won't find views like that anywhere close to this price range.
Cons: A few minor cracks in the walls in the bathroom. Room kids gives off a slightly outdated vibe. Walls are quite thin. We could hear our Neighbors talking all evening. $29 a night for self parking. $35 for valet.
9.1 Excellent
Pros: The room was very spacious, I loved it. I also loved how many mirrors were in the room, many hotels lack mirrors, but this place has that covered.
Cons: I didn't like how small the shower was.
The central air was not working in the common areas, which I assume is not something that happens all the time, so I am not putting too much emphasis on that, however it was excessively hot even riding the elevator or just walking down the hallways.. Enough that I walked at a more rapid pace to get outside faster.
7.7 Good
Pros: Cool room, nothing from the ordinary but useful in group settings for the larger room. Security came up twice but he was very understanding and agreed on what volume was right. Location was great and close to many places in walking distance.
Cons: Comfort of hotel was ok. No towels in the restroom. Also vending machines suck! Some times they take and sometimes they give! Definitely would have appreciated some water at a dying thirst lol iwfu
2.0 Mediocre
Pros: I really like the recent decor updates
Cons: The service seems lacking compared to the last trip we took there, the rooms were needing some repairs and carpet needed a good shampoo.
7.7 Good
Pros: The lobby and check-in area were simple, but nicely designed. There was a large handpainted calendar behind the concierge desk showing which music acts were performing over the course of the month. It was informative and artistic. The lobby was clean, modern, and inviting as was the attached Deck 12 restaurant and bar. The front desk person was friendly. Since we were there on a Saturday night, leaving Sunday, we were able to take advantage of ample street parking for free.
Cons: Our room was located directly across from the elevators. Very loud when sitting in a chair in the living room space of the suite. The room was reasonably spacious, but it had not been updated in quite some time. When we entered for the first time, we were overwhelmed with an almost toxic level of chlorine funmes. (Obviously I am being overly dramatic as i don't think we were in any danger.) The bathroom felt very small and tight despite being a good size. There was a tub and seperate shower, but even my wife could not take a showewr without hitting her elbow trying to maneuver in the stall. It was that small. In fact, I hadto open the shower door in order to move my arms when drying off. When asking the guy at the concierge desk for breakfast spots, he was not very knowledgeable. Turned out he was actually the bellman and the concierge was busy. Would have been good for him to start off with that info. There was no gift shop where one could buy snacks or water. Our only option was to use the vending machines and if you wanted drinks, you had to go several floors up to find a machine that sold them.

Pros: We stayed here on our mini honeymoon before we go on our big honeymoon in May. The staff made sure to give us a corner room view of the city. The hotel employees were very friendly
Cons: There was no refrigerator but there was a microwave. Why would i need to warm up my food in the microwave if i didnt have a fridge. Wish they would include a complimentary breakfast. Rooms were outdated wish they looked more like the lobby area. Overall comfortable relaxing stay with my husband

Less than 10 miles to all major attractions, and entertainment, you will also find award-winning restaurants and a lively scene of the Gaslamp Quarter, to family-favorite attractions at SeaWorld, and the crystal blue waters of the Pacific, Mission, and Ocean Beaches where surfing, snorkeling, or sun bathing are mainstream. San Diego - Balboa Park is also home to the popular Balboa Park, which is the largest park of its kind in the country and features eight gardens, 15 museums, nine eateries, a golf course, and a famous zoo that stretches over 1,100 acres.

6.3 Good
Pros: I liked the fact that it was located in downtown San Diego. it is close to a must try hodad's if you're not from around. Also it's close to the Gaslamp. So mainly location is what i liked.
Cons: I didn't like that there were a lot of homeless roaming around. I got lucky with parking but it is very limited. You could also hear footsteps from above. It is located in a busy street so sometimes you can hear cars go by.

4.0 OK
Pros: The staff was friendly. Easy access if you have a car.
Cons: It needs to be updated, was expensive for what you get. Won't stay again. I don't think this place should be on your site, it's not a good value!!
