Top Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego Hotel Reviews

Sheraton San Diego Resort

8/10 Good

"I didn't get the room I paid for. I tried to settle it with the ck in lady but she said this is what I got. I Clearly had it on my phone that I had a bay view towards the city. I was put on the back side facing the harbor. That was not what I paid for. My wife said the veil was fine so we just accepted it. Probably stay somewhere else the next time."
