Just got back from San Diego. Ivy is a decent hotel. The room was good for one person. First time I saw toilet separated from the bath. The only draw back was that my window faced salvation army office. However, I can't understand why they don't have free parking for guests. Considering the rates they charge, they should provide a free parking. Instead you have to pay $* per day for valet parking. Generaly parking in San Diego is hard. The cheapest parking I saw was $* per day. I was in the city only 4 days I spent $* for parking. Anywhere you go in downtown or even outside, you have to pay separately for parking. Except for Sea Village and only if you buy smth from merchants.You can forget meters . It's so far the most expensive city I've been in US. it looks likes people parked their cars there forever:) Oh yes, those trycycle taxi are ridiculously expensive. The girl asked me $* for 30 minutes ride. Do not eat in the hotel. They charge excessively for food. They charged me $* for a cup of tea. Go outside hotel for food! A lot of restaraunts offer 1/2 off the price,if you go before 7pm.

From the moment I stepped out of the taxi, the doormen were welcoming, the front desk friendly, and rooms very hip and cool. I thought location near the gaslamp district and within walking distance of the convention center and the waterfront was perfect. Great bar off the lobby, and amazing roof deck to either have breakfast or chill by the pool, and it turns into a very cool rooftop bar at night with outdoor fireplaces, lounges and fabulous views. I highly recommend this hotel!

This place was great! From the valet parking guys to the front desk it would be a place I would recommend and re-visit. The concierge / valet staff / front desk were extremely helpful and friendly. The bed was comfortable and the bars/lounges were top notch The ONLY downside was the pool side waitress,. we were only one couple of about 5 or 6 couples at the pool and she walked by us numerous times, we eventually had to go to the bar and order our drinks. The bartender however, was great Good location for walking to various sites throughout the city. Well worth the cost!

The hotel was awesome. When I asked for suggestions on a good sushi restaurant, not only did they give a great recommendation, but the actually drove me there in the company escalade. Club Envy is great. Beautiful view from the rooftop and good music on all three floors. WARNING: If you are looking for a quiet place for a vacation for the family, this may not be it. But, if you want to be in the middle of everything with the convenience of having a nice club right on your rooftop, you'll love this hotel. I would definitely stay here again!!

This was my first time staying at a boutique hotel and it was worth every penny. The hotel is very modern and up to date. The rooms are nice with good amenities. It doesn't have the traditional amenities like a microwave but it was very well suited for my needs. I stayed a total of 4 days and didn't experience any problems other than the wireless internet wasn't very well in my room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ate breakfast at the Quarter Kitchen but didn't have lunch or dinner. I think they could expand the menu for dinner to appeal to more people. We did use the Escalade service to go to the House of Blues one night. It's a very cool experience. The concierge was very helpful as well. He offered great suggestions on beaches and other attractions in the area. We also visited Envy and the rooftop. Envy was cool and we spent most of the time on the rooftop which is really amazing. I would stay again for sure!
