We were allowed to choose whatever table we wanted to sit at, and there was an easel, a blank, multiple brushes, and a pallet ready for us . Some brief instructions and guidance was provided and then we were off on our painting adventure The session runs about an hour and a half . So plan accordingly But I absolutely would 10/10 recommend this. Happy painting yelpers !

I travel on a regular basis. And when I do, my preference is to stay at a Marriott-owned hotel,…read moremostly because I can almost always count on my following top-five priorities being met: * Cleanliness: The rooms and common areas are almost always very clean. * Safety: Entry into the rooms is almost always via an indoor hallway, where entry is obtained through the front lobby or by key-card access into one of the main hallways. * Quietness: Whether I'm traveling for work or for pleasure, I like to feel well-rested for a better day afterwards. And, these hotels are usually pretty quiet. * Free perks: As an elite member of this hotel chain, most of the time I get free perks during every stay. These are usually simple (like free bottled water), but they're appreciated. * A good membership program: Marriott offers a very good membership program for their elite members. It gives me the ability to earn free stays for the future (for pleasure) by choosing to stay here for business. Within the Marriott chain of hotels, Fairfield is one of my favorites because the rooms most often have: * A comfortable living and work space * A good sized TV * A mini refrigerator * A microwave * A well supplied free continental breakfast * All-day free coffee available in the lobby Now, on to the details for my stay at this particular hotel, at the Fairfield by Marriott (in Old Town San Diego, California). The primary reason I came here was for a week-long business trip, but I also decided to have a lot of fun while I was here as well. For this reason, I came here with my daughter; I worked during the days, but then we packed the evenings with lots of fun activities. The pros: Every member of the staff here was friendly and professional throughout our stay here. I found the hotel to feel more homey than a typical hotel; it appeared to be a hotel that was originally constructed as a townhouse complex or an apartment complex, and then converted into a hotel. It was very pleasant. The all-day free coffee was excellent, as was the free continental breakfast. Our hotel room was very clean and fully supplied with what I would expect from any other Fairfield by Marriott. The cons: Even though I am an elite member of Marriott, I did not receive any free perks, like free bottled water, during my stay here. But this was only a minor annoyance. One thing that was a major annoyance was the parking structure, which was not sufficient for the number of customers here. The parking spots are incredibly tight spots to park in and there are not enough of them, which is the hotel's fault. To make matters even worse, several people who parked here during my stay felt incredibly entitled, with several of them taking two parking spots for their precious car. This is obviously the fault of the self-centered customers who did this while they were here. Their actions were really inconsiderate of others, especially when there aren't enough parking spots to begin with. I believe the owners/management should correct the parking problem for their customers in three ways: (1) they should increase the size of the parking spots, (2) they should increase the number of parking spots, and (3) they should allow the police to give parking tickets to the self-centered people who can't park legally. So overall, if it wasn't for the annoying parking situation, this hotel would easily be a 5-star worthy location with how nice it was here. Therefore, based on my experience, I am rating this hotel as "very good" (4-stars), but not excellent. If the owners/management put in a little effort to correct a couple of things, this hotel could easily become a 5-star worthy location.

Overall, our stay was decent. The breakfast area and lobby were nice, clean, and well maintained…read more The pool was also enjoyable and kept very clean. However, the room felt tight for our family of four. There was only one small table and not enough counter space for everyone's belongings. The property is older and could use some updates and TLC. Parking is underground and may be challenging for larger vehicles. We have a Yukon, and there were only about three or four spaces that could comfortably accommodate larger SUVs or trucks. There are also low pipes throughout the parking garage ceiling, so drivers need to be very careful to avoid damaging their vehicles or the pipes.

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.

After strolling through Old Town, my son wanted to check out the Cosmopolitan Hotel. We decided it…read morewould be a great place to stop for a quick shareable bite before heading home. My daughter found us seats under the pergola covered in lovely greenery. It's counter service, so you order at the bar and they give you a number for your table. There were two ladies working behind the bar area, but it took a while before we were acknowledged. We finally placed our order of a pretzel, truffle fries and chicken bacon flatbread. Our food also took a good while to come out. There was only one server and two other occupied tables. While we waited, there was a man playing acoustic guitar, which was a nice touch and added to the atmosphere. The food was pretty tasty. We especially like the chicken and bacon flatbread. Since we were sharing everything, we would have appreciated some plates, but none were provided so we ended up using our napkins as plates. My daughter did make a valid observation about the pretzel: "such a giant pretzel for them to only give us one tiny cheese and nothing else, not even mustard". Unfortunately, the one thing that really spoiled the experience for me was when what appeared to be a termite fell onto our table and landed right on the corner of my flatbread. A few moments later, another one fell onto the table. At this point my son announced, "it's raining termites". Needless to say, this definitely ruined our appetite. I honestly regret not taking a picture because I was just so thrown off when it happened. Even though the setting was lovely, the music was a nice touch and the food was tasty, the slow service, lack of plates and falling termites, the experience fell short.

Inquired next day and they said oh sorry. 2) Room smelled pee-like. Not sure if it was actual urine but smelled pretty bad. 3) TV provider problems. This was property-wide and lasted 24 hours. 4) Room phone not working due to #3. 5) Tech still had to come to room to fix TV. I had to call to get the problem resolved after it was fixed property-wide and I was not notified. 6) No conditioner in shower pump container. Housekeeping should have noted it was low before we checked in. 7) Door handle protector fell of wall replaced then fell again. Engineer noticed it fell and came back to fix it. Then it fell off again. 8) Loud stomping overhead. Thin ceiling. 9) Was charged for water and coffee. Ask for a printed receipt otherwise they won't take off charges they are supposed to. Will avoid this hotel on future trips to SD.

This Venue was great. We had our daughter's 21st birthday here. It has a great location, close to…read morethe freeway, the parking garage across the street that gives you a deal for your event. They have preferred vendors that were very professional and easy to work with. We got the DJ, bartending service, cleaning crew, dance floor that lights up, and the photo booths. Banessa and Richard, the owners, were easy to work with and very accomadating. They allow outside vendors if you choose to do so. We realized that this place is the old Corvette's Diner location for those that remember it here. Beautiful exposed beams, rustic solid wood tables, and a private area in the back of the building that could be used for a bride or whoever needs some space from the party, we used it to take a break from the party as we were hosting and staged our stuff in there. It all gives the place an elegant look. Restrooms were super clean and kept up. Thank you Skylight Venue for making our daughter's 21st birthday, not only a success, but unforgettable! Everyone is still talking about how beautiful and fun it was to have a party at Skylight Venue. -Ruben and Racheal- P.S.

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

He doesn't have a set menu, but sources the ingredients the morning of depending on what looks good and what's in season. We had three or four passed appetizers, a salad course, a grouper / risotto course, and a caramel bar for dessert. Everything was so delicious and all of the guests raved. I have no idea how he was able to cook all of that food for that many people in our home kitchen and make it so flavorful. To keep all of the food at a perfect temperature must have been extremely challenging. Chef Josh was such a cool person also, entertaining, always happy, and so respectful of our home. Thanks so much, Josh. We hope to have you help us out again at our next event.
