The hotel staff was frIendly. The hotel was very clean. The rooms were nice. The location at 1st and Broadway was perfect. Centrally located between the water, Gaslamp and Little Italy. Staying here would have been nicer if there was a pool, larger fitness facility and a place to sit outside and enjoy a beautiful San Diego evening. One of... More

Perfect location within walking distance of everything. We had trouble with the hot water - we either wouldn't get any or the shower would be hot then cold then hot again. The pocket doors to the bathroom weren't ideal and our view was of a wall (beside the elevator). Other than that this hotel was great. Front desk staff was... More

We booked this room for a VERY reasonable rate and loved its central location to the Gaslamp quarter. The room had been recently renovated, and after flying in that night from the east coast, I was glad to fall into a clean and cozy bed. There was a sorority holding a formal in the hotel, but management made sure to... More

This is my second stay at the Bristol. The first time was in May 2011 for a weekend trip to San Diego. The second stay was this past weekend for a conference. The official conference hotel was the Marriott Marquise, but I figured it was better for me to be 10 minute walk away from the crowd surrounding me during... More

I was attending a conference in San Diego and couldn't afford the rates at the huge chain hotels downtown. I looked around for other places, and the Bristol was everything I was looking for. CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE: I talked to a real front desk employee when I called the reservations line. The decor is exquisite and charming. The staff is courteous... More

For the amount of money they charge, their customer service is terrible and their security isn't any better. All in all a very poor experience and my company will not be going back, nor will the employees. We stayed here in Dec. for my friend’s birthday, we figured it was safer to stay downtown rather than drive to and from... More

We were staying in Mission Bay but the taxi service was very expensive. Took a chance a booked via Hotel Tonight app. Couldn't have been more pleased. Hotel is well appointed with a nice restaurant and hip bar. The greatest ammenity was the front desk staff. They were pleasant and very helpful. Would stay again for sure! More

We were looking at a few different places to stay and settled on Bistol because of the place. The room, were clean and modern. Valet parking is affordable at 26$ per 24 hours. If you are really on a budget you can find garage parking a few blocks away for $5 each time you come in and out. Honestly I... More

This is a beautiful downtown, boutique hotel that offers personalized service and is 110% customer focused! They offer a variety of rooms and views, as well as a chic, yet comfy and welcoming restaurant and lounge. Unlike other 'big box' downtown hotels, the Bristol offers complimentary wifi and use of the business center. Their daily valet parking fee is competitive... More
