September 24 2007: Four of us stayed at the Bristol during Comic Con weekend. So of course every hotel in town was packed and it was impossible to find anything inexpensive and close to the convention center. The Bristol seemed a fairly good value for the money though.
The hotel is in a great location within walking distance of the Convention Center, Gaslamp District and Little Italy. Street noise was pretty minimal. The bathroom was huge.
There is a computer with internet access in the lobby, which was handy. Staff seemed friendly and they held our luggage after we checked out. Parking was $22 a day. But at least it was convenient and we never had to use our car during the visit.
I would stay there again.
Date of stay: July 2007
Purpose of stay: Leisure (With Friends/Group)

The Bristol Hotel is a stylish San Diego hotel conveniently located in the heart of the Gaslamp District, just minutes from San Diego International Airport (SAN), and only a short drive from sunny beaches, the San Diego Zoo and SeaWorld. With a contemporary ambiance that places it in the top tier of California hotels, this charming boutique hotel shares sidewalks with fine dining, world-class shopping at Horton Plaza, the Cruise Ship Terminal and the San Diego Convention Center. San Diego's famous trolley stops just outside the property, and is a convenient and fun way to reach Tijuana and Mexico. The Bristol Hotel boasts a colorful, jazz-inspired lobby with Pop Art works by Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Peter Max, an ebony-paneled cocktail lounge, the intimate Daisies Bistro & Bar, a top-floor banqueting room with retractable roof, complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access throughout, meeting facilities, as well as the perfect downtown location.
