Yes!

Booked Waterview King, received City View King Corner
How are the rooms?
Modern and bright, with amazing views of downtown, San Diego Bay, USS MIDWAY and the Aircraft Carriers at North Island. Floor to ceiling windows, plenty of outlets and USB ports The only toiletries available were agaria soap, bath gel, shampoo, conditioner. Had to call twice for bathrobes and slippers but one of the best robes yet.
How is the exec. lounge?
It was really great considering Covid days. Open from 8am to 8pm with bagged snacks out all day plus 2 beers, prosecco and 2 red wines on tap all day. Mini fridge with water, sparkling water, chardonnay, and sodas available all day, too.
Breakfast was available 8 to 1030am and was order off a menu on 2 days and a buffet one day (served by the attendant). Cocktail hour was from 6 to 7pm with apps ordered off a menu (maybe 5 or 6 options)
The club is located off the 3rd floor lobby and has indoor and outdoor seating with views of the bay, USS Midway and North Island. The outdoor patio was really nice!
Did you receive a welcome gift?
Nothing because of covid. But everyone gets IC San Diego branded hand sanitizer at check-in.
How was the minibar?
One of the best I've seen! Local SD beers, Johnny Walker Black, tequila, bourbon, vodka, gin, 375 ml bottles of red and white wine, champagne, mixers and a mixed drinks (like old fashioneds, Bloody Marys, mimosas) And a $95 375 ml bottle of tequila. No service charge or tax is added, either.
What was good and what was bad?
-Good
- Really everything!
- The downtown location and views are incredible. Only a few minutes from the airport and across from a trolley stop
- Club Lounge with beer and wine available all day- Patio seating at the Club with amazing sunsets- Modern rooms with floor to ceiling windows, plenty of outlets
-Bad
Nothing really. I'm sure the hotel will be even more amazing after Covid
