    Enjoyed four great nights at Crone's Cobblestone Cottage. I hesitate to call it a Bed & Breakfast…read morebecause it was so much more. We had access to the entire first floor of a beautifully decorated historical home that will be 100 years old next year. The Mission Hills neighborhood was close to everything we wanted and needed -- shopping, parks, dining, beaches. But I must say my favorite part was chatting with Joan Crone during breakfast. A fascinating woman with an artist's love for all things simple and beautiful. Her art pieces on "plenty" and "small" challenged me to examine my definition of happiness. Was not expecting a spiritual connection on the trip, but happy to have found it. Thank you Joan.

Shaded by a sprawling pepper tree and sheltered by ranks of ferns, it is an oasis, complete with a porch swing and meditation garden, in an already quiet neighborhood. The Mission Hills business district is an easy ten-minute walk away, along streets with more nicely kept-up bungalows. From there, you can easily bus to Balboa Park and the Zoo in a half-hour or - with Joan's guidance - make a fun sightseeing trek down the hillside to the trolley and on the downtown and the harbor. At the end of the day, there are a number of very satisfying restaurants where you can relax and eat well before the peaceful walk home. Joan was very respectful of our privacy and our touristic initiatives. We, on the other hand, started conversations over breakfast that we would only reluctantly break off to make our way to the day's objective. Whether it involved geographical points of interest as a long-time San Diego resident, the arts and photography -- her area of training, Craftsman architecture and design or recent books we've read, there was never a dull moment. She encouraged us to look over books from her extensive library, including the charming "Little Free Library" built in the image of the Cottage and located right outside. We wholeheartedly recommend Crone's Cobblestone Cottage as a place to stay while visiting San Diego!

    My first real time in San Diego. I randomly booked a place at the last minute because it seemed in…read morea vaguely sort of convenient location. I didn't know what I was expecting. I had a great time! Beat my expectations a lot given the extremely low price. So the room was WAY bigger than expected for what I paid for it. I understand that it was the suite, but I wasn't expecting a large suite at all because it was so cheap. The front service was super friendly, helpful, everything. They were able to facilitate complimentary early check-in as well. In short, the service was very good and everyone at the front desk was super helpful and accomodating. Apparently there's some sketchy areas nearby if you walk to Old Town through a very weird direction (you should actually cross the street and go through the underground passage). Location is convenient, the prices are SUPER affordable, and it's just overall nice and cozy. Complimentary breakfast was also nice and easy. Had a very pleasant stay and would likely stay here again the next time I'm in this part of San Diego!

    This is a 3.5 star but I have them 3 because half stars aren't an option…read more Staff was nice Rooms were clean they have a little mini kitchen which is great for cooking in your room if needed hot plate and sink Great location we walked to old town but not much else in the area. Free parking The big downer was the breakfast the protein oatmeal or yogurt....they had boiled eggs they need to have some scrambled eggs and meat. Even the motel six has a better breakfast we have stayed all over and this was a lack luster breakfast to say the least

I grew up in San Diego and have been to Old Town Historic District MANY times, but this was our first seeing the inside of the hotel. It reminded me of a hotel you see at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ. The Cosmopolitan Hotel was built in 1827. They offer Cosmo Happy Hour in their outdoor garden patio Wednesday -Saturday from 4pm-6:30pm (walk-ins only) no reservations. The garden is also available for wedding venues. The Cosmopolitan hotel has Saturday Brunch from 10am-2pm. If interested in taking an old vintage photography session, you would have to book it through Catherinesegura.com and select the size photo session of interest. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

We decided to make reservations to eat there for Thanksgiving and were looking forward to a similar experience we had years ago in the dining room. It didn't happen. We were charged 20% for the gratuity in advance (to reward staff for working on Thanksgiving) which is a risk to hope that you'll get service at that level. We didn't. It was a buffet of cold food (that should have been hot) and ambivalent staff with the exception of the turkey carver & Dee the host who were both very friendly. We were seated outside and asked for the overhead heaters to be turned on which never happened. We asked for water and went though the buffet line and had to juggle our plates and lift the lids of the chafing pans & serve ourselves while 3 male staff in white server jackets stood in the corner conversing loudly in Spanish and ignoring our presence. We returned to our seats and still had no water. Eventually after asking again, we got water. No one came by again for quite a while to notice our empty glasses so we asked for a pitcher of water since apparently everything was self service. We enjoyed each others company and paid our bill leaving a restaurant that we probably won't try again. It's a shame because it could be great and they do have the indoor dining room that really should be offered as an option. People who come to Old Town probably want to have an 1872 experience which we did have many years ago in the warmth and nostalgic dining room with good service which we happily left a 20% tip for. Sorry to say, service has left the restaurant. :( I just saw my review from 2011. What a difference: We went for dinner on Thanksgiving day. It was helpful to see the menu in advance online and looked forward to a relaxing intimate dinner that would take us back in time. We were greeted immediately on arrival in the lobby by a beautiful hostess in a period dress and she took us to our table. The cowboy era string bow-tied waiter arrived just after we were seated and took our drink order and another gentleman brought us water (liked his costume but not his gum chewing). We admired the furnishings and wallpaper and planned to tour the saloon & hotel after dinner. It was fun to see the happy families and couples enjoying a Thanksgiving from the 1860's. The hostess came by to welcome us and make sure service was good and chatted a bit. I had noticed that their facebook page announced the presence of Albert Seeley's great great grandson was expected. That's cool! I like experiencing and reliving history and had watched the restoration of the hotel and restaurant on our many visits to Old Town. We've had breakfast and lunch outside but never dinner inside. This was a new treat. Our appetizers were the shrimp cocktail and blue crabcake. I had the traditional entree of turkey with succulent breast slices and delicious dressing and mashed potatoes and asparagus accented with baby carrots. On the side was tangy cranberry with something added that may have been grapes- I'm not sure but it was yummy! Kathy had the boulaibase with ample portions of shrimp, scallops, calamari, and sausage with a delicious broth. She couldn't eat all of hers but I did! Dessert was bread pudding among several choices. I know the grandkids would have chosen the s'mores with graham crackers,chocolate and melted marshmellow! The entertainment was the staff in period costume, some of the guests as well were dressed in Old Town Garb, (maybe employees of other Old Town shops? and the piano player and accordian music. Very delightful- some day we'll stay at the Hotel to wake up back in time!
