Hotel Zindel

Great stay.

The check in and everything is self done with codes. Pretty neat if you ask me. Room was clean and close to everything

This property is all about location. Be wary however-- walls are paper thin so you hear traffic, airplanes, street conversations all night. And your neighbors upstairs -- even the words of the song they are playing. Basically no windows -- they look out onto a wall 2ft away. They charge you to check in early but if they don't let you check in on time, there is no money coming back to you. Our checkin information was delivered to us 45minutes late. Then the key wasn't even in the lockbox when we went to the door. Definitely will not be staying here again.

Location was excellent; mini Queen suite nice in size. Unpleasant odor in room gave me a headache - smelled similar to cats. Virtually no hot water in the shower. Coffee bar in common area nice.

Great stay

We liked the hotel. You need to make the daily amenity fee optional. We used none of them. I resent paying that fee. It is not the best neighborhood and therefore we were nervous about leaving our car parked by the freeway and the ugly lot across the street from the hotel. But it turned out ok. Better, I suppose, than paying the highway robbery fee of $60-65 per night that hotels downtown charge. We enjoyed Little Italy and the proximity to Balboa Park. I wish the outdoor patio when you first come in from the street was a little cleaner and had a few amenities. I still rate the hotel 5, but it’s pricey. Remove or make optional the amenity fee. Jim

Clean property and cool amenities. As much as we enjoyed the location and easy walk to Little Italy, the noise from the street and people slamming doors all night using the shared bathrooms, I doubt we stay again.
