I had a pleasant stay at Inn At The Park, with a beautifully retro-decorated room and a lovely balcony to enjoy the mornings. The location is fantastic, being close to Balboa Park and just a short walk from the San Diego Zoo, which I absolutely loved. However, I had a frustrating experience with the concierge, who pressured me to attend a timeshare presentation under the guise of an informational meeting, which left a sour note on the trip.

I had a pretty good stay at the Inn At The Park, which is an older building that's been nicely updated while keeping its historic charm. The staff was very friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. However, the check-in process could have been a lot smoother and the Wi-Fi was a bit unstable on higher floors. Overall, I enjoyed the spaciousness of my room, especially the kitchenette and the lovely views from the terrace.

My stay at Inn At The Park was generally pleasant due to the spacious, well-appointed rooms and a great location near Balboa Park. However, the aggressive timeshare sales tactics from the concierge really dampened my experience and made me feel uncomfortable during my visit. Overall, while the hotel offered comfort and a nice ambiance, I found the pressure to attend a timeshare presentation to be a significant downside.
