Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

The Neon Elm Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice for a one night stay after coming in on a late flight. Did not realize how tiny the room would be, pics were a bit deceiving but I have to say, it was styled and decorated to perfection. No wasted spaces. Loved the look! Check in was super easy utilizing codes to get in. Staff was easy to message and very responsive. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because I asked for a late check out due to coming in almost at midnight which they graciously granted. So check out is at 11am. At 9:58 some lady. I'm assuming staff knocked on our door repeatedly, no stopping in between knocks like a machine gun until I answered the door and she says "you're supposed to check out at 10"I explained to her that I was told I could check out at 11am. She looks at her phone and says, "oh, sorry" It ruined the whole vibe."

"Pros The hotel was clean, organized and welcoming. The location was the best part. Right next to the zoo, balboa park, and walking distance to restaurants. I liked the room separation for bedtime. Cons: Parking - it wasn’t clearly stated in posting that it would be $50 a night for self park and $70 for valet. The drive way for self park is intense. It is a very tight and windy path. There were A LOT of scratches on the sides of people hitting their cars against and I felt dizzy doing that tight of circles (7th floor of winding path and parking is on 11th floor) The bathroom design is horrible. The sliding doors have open gaps so technically could see in and no sound proof. There was not vent. The shower was ground level so water easily came out. The door separating the bedroom from the main area should be more opaque as light came in so wasn’t as helpful for our family’s different bedtimes. That I did notice beforehand in the pictures so I was prepared for that."
