Location was great because we were going to the convention center. For this hotel, it is a great price for what you’re getting. Room was clean, bathroom was clean, bedding was all clean and smelled very clean. You can see where they really updated some things. You can also see where it’s an old place like the old original sliding bathroom door that’s a little dingy or some peeling wallpaper. Nothing was terrible. The pillows were a little flat though. Customer service for checking in and the valet was wonderful! Both men were very nice, the man that checked us in had a great sense of humor. I would definitely stay again.

I was pretty happy with the Bristol while staying during SDCC! I had reserved a king bed room and had hoped they had rollaways but they do not. I had requested a room with a pullout couch and when I arrived they said they had run out of those rooms, which while disappointing was understandable. So with the 3 of us I had to use my air mattress, but the room had plenty of space for it. The pillows were very comfortable, the king bed was large, the room was clean and had a great view. When I requested some extra blankets I was told housekeeping had left for the day but the man at the front desk personally brought me up a blanket which I really appreciated!! Probably the thing I disliked the most about the room was the shower, the shower head felt like you were being spit on by gnomes vs an actual shower. It was just outrageously weak water pressure. But during the very hot and busy week I can say the air conditioning in our room always worked great! Kept the room nice and cold. WiFi was weak but we didn’t spend much time using it. And the walk to the convention center was not bad at all, maybe 10-15 mins depending on how fast I was walking. I also really liked their coffee machine in the lobby because it made tasty lattes. So while everything wasn’t perfect I felt like everyone we interacted with was very kind and doing their best, I felt comfortable and safe, and overall I enjoyed my stay here.

This hotel is quaint and fabulous. It is within walking distance to many attractions. Public transportation is readily available. They have a Rockstar staff who will bend over backwards to accommodate your needs. The room was bright and comfortable with a great view. The only thing disappointing features were the lack of a restaurant and the bathroom could use some updating. But I would highly recommend.

I had the best experience here (a little surprised others did not). The staff was insanely nice/kind/helpful. The rooms were large, huge TVs, comfy big beds. Not noisy at all either - I never had a problem falling or staying asleep. Everything was clean in my room. And it was all super affordable. I'd stay here again.

My friends and I stayed at The Bristol for my birthday this past weekend and we had an amazing time with lots of great memories. I look forward to returning to San Diego and staying here again. The location was amazing, we felt very safe and it was so convenient that we had so many restaurants and bars nearby. Ride share services were helpful when we wanted to go somewhere further or quicker. The hotel staff were very friendly and offered great recommendations. We went to Starlite off their suggestion and had an amazing experience. Room service was excellent, they were able to provide us a full service when we would step out of the hotel. We returned to a clean and tidy room every day. I am so happy I was able to spend an amazing weekend staying at The Bristol.

A lot of work going on in the hotel. They only had offered a cup of noddles at their mini shop! Which was just placed at a desk in front of the lobby check in. I had to cancel my original reservation and rebook with them because the system was down. The front guy was helpful and nice about it. When I got to my room it didn’t smell too good, the shower floor was dirty. It’s far from downtown gaslamp (25-30min walk). They don’t have privacy locks in their room, so I felt unsafe to sleep. Because of the smell, dirty bathroom, and stains in the bathroom I was unsure if my bed was clean to sleep in. I did check for bed bugs but didn’t see anything visually. I’d say pay the extra and get a better place.
