We wouldn’t return.
Positives: good location, friendly staff, updated decor, clean Negatives: very noisy, outside and in. Lots of street and trolley noise which definitely hindered our sleep. Ceiling wall was thin and we could hear everything they were doing in room above us. Our room had very little drawer space for clothing. Closet was small.

Loved how quick and easy check in was, the inside is really nice and accommodating. They have a bar next to the lobby. Vallet parking is the best way to go. Loved the fact we got a room upgrade and a bottle of wine

Manager should be fired!
I travel over 100 days/year. I had a business event in SD and I could have stayed at 50 places but I wanted to try the Bristol. I filled out their pre-arrival digital form (which is nice) requesting a quiet room with paid early check-in. I also called ahead to verify the quiet room and they said no problem. The bell/doorman was super friendly and helpful but my stay was terrible. 1. My room was next to the cable car transportation station so I heard a buzzing noise (horn) and train track rattles every few minutes so I barely slept both nights. I ended up getting sick due to lack of sleep. To me, this is unacceptable because they had many room options/locations to put me in and I would have waited if needed (as I explained when i called and checked in). 2. Day 2 was a repeat. No manager. My event was long so I left at 8 AM and got home around 11 PM each night. The 2nd night I also didn't sleep even with ear plugs, white noise machine, etc. Day 3 I politely asked for the manager but he wasn't in so I asked for a call. NOTHING. At check-out, the female was cold and said she would have the manager call for sure...but nothing. I called for 2 weeks and left voicemails but NO ONE Called me. 3. Restaurant was closed but they are charging full rates. This is not good business. I stay in SD monthly for work. I host events at hotels annually and I will never use Bristol again. More than disappointing!
