You will not regret staying in the Tiki Room. This place was in the perfect location, an easy walk to anywhere downtown. You are very close to Balboa Park and the San Diego Convention Center.
The room has absolutely everything except for an ironing board, but then again I never asked if there was one down stairs. The shower has really nice tile inside. The TV was fantastic with a wide selection of channels. The bed was so comfy, and the view out of the windows was phenomenal.
Ed was such a fantastic host, he was nice as soon as I came through the door. He had some candy and a nice note waiting for me in the room when I arrived. He also has candy and cookies on the table in the lobby. He always provided good conversation and was good to tell me what the weather was going to be like for the day. You will love this Tiki Room, and if you can't book it, Ed seems to have plenty of other interestingly themed rooms in the hotel.
