I had a mixed experience during my stay. The staff were really helpful and accommodating, but the rooms left a lot to be desired. The dining options were pretty pricey, and the amenities could use some improvement. Overall, I found it was decent value for San Diego, but there were several areas needing attention.

Rooms

5.0

I found the rooms to be in desperate need of updating. The Regency building felt like it was stuck in a past era, with outdated furnishings and some maintenance issues, like a shower that didn't drain well. I'd give the rooms a rating of 5/10.

Service

8.0

The service was a highlight for me. Staff like Ashley and Erwin went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met. I'll rate the service an 8/10.

Location

7.0

The location is somewhat convenient, especially with a mall nearby, but it's not easy to explore without a car. The area felt a bit isolated, especially during the week. I'd rate the location around a 7/10.

Dining

6.0

Dining was a bit of a letdown, with high prices and limited selections. I expected something more affordable and varied. I'll give it a 6/10.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities had potential, especially the pool area, which was nice, but the lack of available ice machines and the construction noise were downsides. I'd rate the facilities a 6/10.

My stay was incredibly frustrating due to ongoing construction that disrupted my conference trip. The hotel is clearly in a transition period, but the lack of basic amenities and cleanliness made it an uncomfortable experience. On a positive note, my room in the Tower was nicely updated, which provided some relief. However, the overall value for what I paid just didn't match the experience.

Rooms

5.0

I initially stayed in a room facing a construction zone which was unacceptable. However, after moving to the Palm Tower, the updated rooms were better but still lacking in basic comforts like hot water or cleanliness.

Service

5.0

While some staff were friendly, my experience was marred by the lack of assistance during the chaos of the construction. It felt like there were too many guests and not enough attention.

Location

6.0

The location itself has potential but accessing my room was a hassle and walking through the construction was unnerving. It definitely feels disconnected and not well thought out at this stage.

Dining

5.0

I appreciate that they had convenient snack options, but everything was overpriced, and the selection didn't wow me. I left feeling like I could have gotten better food elsewhere.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities are a bit outdated and suffering from the construction chaos. It seems like they are trying to modernize but need to focus on the fundamental issues first.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the staff was genuinely friendly and accommodating, the ongoing construction affected my stay significantly. My room had some issues as well, but the conference facilities met our needs pretty well. I do appreciate the effort to improve the hotel, but it felt a bit chaotic during my visit.

Rooms

My first room was incredibly cramped and had construction noise; I had to switch rooms. The second one was better but still had issues like slow drainage and some cleanliness problems.

Service

Location

6.0

The hotel is conveniently located for events, but being surrounded by construction materials and machinery really detracted from the experience.

The breakfast was just fruit and muffins, which left many feeling disappointed, especially since some lunch items were left out in the sun.

I recently spent a week in San Diego for the Jazz Fest, splitting my stay between two hotels. While the Town and Country was a good host for the festival with several venues nearby, my overall experience there was not ideal. The rooms were dated and noisy, which affected my stay negatively. The staff was friendly, but the food options were disappointing and not up to par with other hotel experiences I've had. A major construction project was also going on, impacting the hotel's overall appearance and accessibility.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is fantastic and the garden area is great for families, the service left much to be desired. The rooms were decent but needed some updating, and there were some issues with service that put a damper on the stay. Overall, it was affordable for what we got, but I would suggest being prepared for some challenges with the staff.

5.0/10

My experience at this hotel was incredibly disappointing. While the location has great potential, the ongoing construction rendered it nearly unusable. The rooms were in poor condition, and the resort fees added insult to injury. I was misled about what to expect, leading me to check out early and find a better option just down the street. Beware of the pretty pictures online—this is not what you will find upon arrival.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms were outdated and poorly maintained, resembling a cheap motel. The carpet was smelly and the bathroom fixtures were rusty, making it feel uncomfortable.

Service

5.0

I encountered language barriers with some staff members, but the service was generally accommodating. However, skillful service can't make up for the hotel’s severe shortcomings.

Location

5.0

The hotel was close to a local strip mall and chain eateries, which was convenient, but the construction zone overshadowed the location's potential.

Dining

5.0

There weren't any dining facilities available due to the construction, which made me feel like I was not in a resort at all. Dining options were limited and likely overpriced if they were available.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel lacked basic facilities like a pool or restaurant, with nothing but a construction site to show for it, which was unacceptable.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, despite some concerns. The gardens were beautiful, and I enjoyed a cozy room overlooking them. The convention facilities were spacious and easy to navigate. However, I was disappointed by the misleading information regarding shuttle services and coffee availability. Overall, a lovely stay with a few hiccups.

Rooms
