The hotel itself was fine, but our experience at the uca restaurant was terrible. The restaurant seemed severely short-staffed, service was very slow, and we waited a long time for our food. Unfortunately, the food quality was also very poor. This experience left a negative impression and overshadowed the rest of our stay.

8.2/10 Very good! (93 reviews)
The property was lovely and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The location of the property was also good, close to most attractions.
Unfortunately, around the property there were too many homeless people, leaving us slightly uncomfortable when walking in the evenings.

"Description should advise that this is a high rise with the hotel being on the 17th floor, parking on the 11th floor, and the ice machine on the 21st floor. The garage was a scary spiral that you didn't want to keep going up and down."

"The staff was helpful with getting around the area. Internet was down for most of one day, couldn’t reach the front desk. Housekeeping available upon request. Valet parking a little pricey, but in line with the area. Good location in proximity to Petco Park, Gas Lamp district."
