The Cosmopolitan has nice staff & is in the fantastic location of Old Town, San Diego. - Overall, it is just not quite ready, IMO, to be back open.
The rooms are clean, west facing rooms have a beautiful sunset. It's the building & history of this place that is the big draw &, unfortunately, the majority of the building - the interior dining & grand bar spaces are blocked off or being used for storage - and not open to the public. (Incidentally - those are the more supposedly 'haunted' areas of the property as well).
Continental breakfast has a very poor selection.
Check-in MUST be arranged - as everything is locked up & entry is through a side gate that leads to the patio dining area. There is no dining on-site. Know that rooms, while clean & comfortable - have no TV/radio (that could be a plus for some). WiFi is fine. Beds are not bad, but not great for my comfort. There was a weird little heating unit in our room - good thing we didn't need it as it made a terrible noise.
I may do this again when the entirety of the experience - the building, the dining, the live entertainment - is back. Otherwise - it's too pricey just to have a no frills room in the heart of Old Town (& we didn't even get visited by the resident spirits)
