Some Good, Some Bad
I stayed Friday night on a $99 LTO rate. There were good and bad points.
+ I was assigned a bay-facing room on the 17th floor of the tower. The morning view from the terrace was lovely. Really great.
+ The fitness center is a separate building that overlooks the boats in the bay. Plus, the pools are heated.
+ The desk agents were great, and did the work to process Costco certificates on a pre-paid rate.
- Parking was $20 for selfpark and $25 for valet. Mission Bay is far enough from things (except Sea World and the boats) that transit becomes useful.
- The Regency Club was closed again, with a sign until "early 2010."
- The room had only a shower. For some reason, the showerhead was only about 5'7" off the ground. I'm 6'1" and it was about even with my nose. There was no bench in the shower, either. I had to bend my back a little. Someone 6'5" would have real trouble.
