Not a great value

Check in was smooth. Room was clean. Valet plg was very expensive. The room was very basic. The bed was hard and uncomfortable, and the quilt was not clean. The restaurant food was poor, my dinner arrived at room temperature and slightly cold, small portions and cooked poorly. I wont be coming back. Staff was friendly but the quality was not there.

AC Hotel was such a great choice for our night stay! Everything was clean and modern! The rooms were clean and a good size with everything we needed! The staff was also very nice and made sure our needs were met. Since there is no on sight parking, we had to pay $58 for the valet parking. Valet was also great! They were quick with getting our vehicles and very polite. Our stay was great over all.

My 40th birthday weekend

I had a great experience staying in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. The AC hotel staff were amazing and accommodating. I had to change my room due to AC issues and the staff moved me to a better room with a full balcony. This was my 40th birthday celebration trip. Despite the noise outside my balcony of the festivities on 5th street, I had an amazing memorable experience!
