Notes on the SD hotel and neighborhood

The hotel we're in gives our rewards points to guests for 'saving the environment' if they request no room cleanup during the day. Did that because I thought it was genuinely good for the environment. JC got a folded elephant of towels with chocolates for eyes when he got back to his room. I want that too! Having my room cleaned both the remaining days now.

The hotel has no free breakfast and slow WiFi though the rooms seem to be pretty nice and I do love the decor of the lobby. It's apparently an old building which has always been a hotel, the elevators look like they are a hundred years old no exaggeration and JC was told only two of them work because they're so old. I should really take photos of them they might as well be in a museum. So much character!

Our neighborhood has enough character itself, all the bars and clubs and all that. In a fifteen minutes walking radius there probably fifty good bars and clubs and maybe give hundred decent restaurants. And this is San Diego which isn't exactly a dense city even in its densest parts which we're probably in anyway. We're lucky to have ended up here, far enough from the convention center that we're forced to explore the city but close enough to walk comfortably to it.

On our walk back from the Mexican restaurant last night (more on that in the upcoming journal) we encountered three maybe four Indian restaurants and a dozen Mexican restaurants. And about five hookah bars. Our walk was ten minutes long. San Diego is certainly a city with character for sure.
