Nice place to stay, water pressure in the shower was very weak. Overall nice time spent

For years, I've been a visitor to the row of San Diego Broadway Avenue hotels. Each property has something distinct to offer, and The Bristol was an old favorite because of its decor, vibe, and boutique experience. This visit, however. will be my last. The place has lost its charm and now lacks basic amenities; and the staff is either weird or rude. Check-in: I was interrupted when politely spelling my last name on arriving. Also, I don't mind a personal touch at the front desk, but don't want to hear complaints about phone company issues the hotel was having over a rough weekend. Lobby: In the past, there was a comfortable bar and a very nice baby grand piano in the lobby area. Now, the bar has been closed, and the piano has been put in moth balls. Amenities: No water; walk to the local market. At check-in, I was informed the hotel gym had a filtered water dispenser and the front desk clerk could probably get me in there if we could find a bottle to fill. There are no convenience/snack areas in the entire hotel. The room offered a generic coffee pot, but again no drinking water for making coffee. Check-out: Two front desk clerks sitting and chatting. One of them made eye-contact with me as I approached but then turned back to the other clerk to keep talking, letting me know that I was not her priority. When I asked for the ATM, they said, "we don't have one" and directed me to the local bank. So, unfortunately, I left without tipping housekeeping.

Place was cute from the outside and a great location but once you ever the building the whole vibe is outdated. When we checked in into our room the room was in okay condition as far as the looks of it. Bathroom floor had permanent stains on it and our pillows were dirty. I asked for new ones they were brought by staff quickly. The door handle from the outside was super loose and looked broken. The AC had a pee smell when it was blowing. Noticed it in our third night there(4nights stay) I just wished the owner/Manager would remodel and renovate for the price that I paid.
