Intercontinental (and it is the same for others of this brand), do the spectacular well, but let themselves down with some basics that travellers want. In this case the pool is small and nothing more than a dipping pool, the location and type of internet connection points are away from the beds, not c connectors and cannot all be used at same time. Room cleaning came early and more often kept leaving notes that unable to enter room. Restaurant options are good but expensive, even for breakfast. Business centre printer was not working. On the positive, the staff were fantastic and could not help more on what were probably mundane requests. A special mention to Maria, who went out of her way to assist. The hotel itself is excellent location and has fantastic views of San Diego. When you take all these factors into account and consider the price and value for money it is difficult to move the dial beyond a 3/5.

We were greeted after a long flight where our luggage was lost on route by a very cheery and helpful front desk person Arianna. She made our whole stay very personable and made it more enjoyable. The hotel was clean and very mogern. Its also very well placed for downtown San Diego. Overall its a great place to stay for the San Diego experience

Good but sneaky extra charges.

Great location, 1min walk to USS Midway, 2min walk to bus stop, 15min walk to ball park. It’s expensive but save on Ubers cuz you can walk. They have a silly nightly charge of $55US per nite which is stupid, just put it all up front so ya know how much it’s gunna be total. Extra charges suck and ya can’t do anything except pay it because your checking in and finding a diff hotel short notice is hard.
