Hotels near Copley Symphony Hall, San Diego

Upon check-in, I was asked to pay for the room, which I did. However, I noticed the amount charged was higher than the total from my original booking. I asked the receptionist (I believe his name was Raul, though I’m not entirely sure) why that was. I explained the amount I had been quoted during booking. He then mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that a $150 deposit is taken at check-in. I told him this should have been communicated before processing the payment, as it’s standard practice to inform guests of such charges upfront. While I wasn’t pleased, I went ahead and paid. I also mentioned that I had submitted a request in advance for a room away from the elevator with a good view. He told me the hotel was fully booked, which confused me, since I had booked well in advance and included my request at the time. He assigned me Room 503, which was directly across from the elevator, not away from it. I didn’t want to complain as I had just traveled over 12 hours from London to San Diego and was extremely tired. I planned to grab some dinner and get straight to bed. However, the room was quite noisy—there was a lot of hallway activity, and the family next door had their TV volume quite high. I decided not to go downstairs and complain, hoping I could just fall asleep. Unfortunately, I was woken up around 3 a.m. by a crying child, and again at 5 a.m. At that point, I was extremely frustrated and went to speak to the receptionist on duty, Matthew. I explained everything to him, and he was very understanding. He said there was availability and offered to move me immediately…this was surprising, considering the earlier claim that the hotel was full. He moved me to Room 204. While it wasn’t far from the elevator either, he assured me it would be quieter since there were no large families on that floor. He was right—the room was much more peaceful, and I appreciated his help. At checkout, I saw the same receptionist who had checked me in and decided not to approach him. Instead, I spoke to Antonio at the other desk. I asked about the deposit, and he informed me it would take 2–3 business days to be released. Naturally, I wasn’t thrilled to hear this, especially after the earlier issues, so I shared my entire experience with him. He apologized sincerely and mentioned the initial receptionist may need additional training, which they would look into. Overall, the stay was decent for a short 3-night visit, but the start could have been handled much better.

The hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of downtown San Diego, surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants. A nearby bus provides easy access to the airport. The property is well-maintained and offers pleasant amenities, including a pool table and arcade machines. However, one drawback is also its location—it’s right in the lively party area, which can lead to noise at night. If you’re sensitive to noise, you might want to consider an alternative hotel.

My stay was great! Everything about this hotel is beautiful. Literally it feels like you’re in a castle or something. The lobby is so beautiful it has a huge staircase and they offer tea. Its very close to everything as well. The room was also very comfy and had a balcony with a beautiful view of the city. Only thing I had a problem with was parking because at the end of the night the garage was full and I couldn’t get back in but besides that everything was wonderful. I definitely will stay here again!!

Overall it is good, with breakfast and air conditioning. Although there is no 220V socket, there are irons and hair dryers in the room, which is very suitable for business trips. The location is also good, but the sound insulation is a little bit poor.

Advantages: For people who don't drive, the location is more convenient, you can go to fashion valley to buy things, there is a restaurant near the hotel. There is a small pool and bubble bath, you can also wash clothes. The room is large and feels quite spacious. Basic microwave, refrigerator, coffee machine, small soap The quality of the bed is OK, it is more safe to sleep in. Disadvantages: Roads are being built outside, and every morning they get noisy There is no coffee or tea at the front desk of the hotel. For people who love to drink hot, they can make a coffee machine in the room. But it's okay.

Overall, the hotel experience was good, though the location isn't ideal, making dining and transportation a bit inconvenient. The room was clean and tidy, and the soundproofing was decent, ensuring a good night's sleep. The front desk service was professional and efficient. For its category, it offers good value for money, making it suitable for business or short trips.

The sea-view room was great, and the location was convenient, close to several popular attractions. The pool was large with long opening hours. The only downside was the parking; it seems they might lease out spaces to the airport, which made it poorly organized. Despite the $55 daily parking fee for hotel guests, finding a spot often meant a long search and a long walk, sometimes even having to park on a dirt road.

An excellent hotel with wonderful, friendly staff. The rooms are equipped with everything you need, and the beds are comfortable. The plumbing is new and high-quality. They serve delicious breakfasts in the morning and great cocktails in the evening. We are completely satisfied. Highly recommended!!

They are in the process of renovating an old Days Inn. Its repainted, but the elevators were not working. Looks rundown from the outside. Inside the rooms were nicely upgraded.

The staff and service were great. However, we were sleepless at night...the room was extremely warm, but couldn't keep the AC on because it was too loud. The refrigerator kept making unnecessary noises as well...
