1. The only downside was not getting the room I requested (we got a king with a roll-away instead of 2 doubles) which was odd since I made the reservation in June, but we got some $1 glasses of wine for the inconvenience.

2. So on the one hand, the Bristol was great in treating us well, but the downside is that they seem to host a lot of party people (see previous commenters).

3. Only downsides are parking ($26 per night) and the fact that the hotel faces the Greyhound Bus Depot, which gets a bit noisy.

4. The only downside may be the $25 (approx) daily parking fee, though this is not unusual at a downtown California hotel.

8. The only downside to this is that the busy street noice can be heard in the rooms but not so much to be a bother.

10. The only downside was the shower/tub was very small except for a tiny person like myself.
