I spent New Year's Eve in the Emergency Room with gallbladder problems which resulted in surgery a week later to remove it.
The staff at Scripps Green Hospital was incredible. From the nurse who initially suggested the gallbladder as the source of my problems, to the orderly who wheeled me out to my car after my surgery, I was treated with respect, kindness and sincerity.
Obviously, staying overnight in the hospital, or having surgery, is not fun. However, with a staff that is as personable and concerned as at Scripps Green, it makes it more enjoyable.
Scripps Green also worked out a payment plan with me so that I pay my portion of the expenses over time.

I never thought I would be one to window shop at a grocery store .. but Whole Foods is that kind of place. I come here for "splurge" shopping, as my pockets are not deep enough to come here on a regular basis. Very high quality foods. The deli and produce sections are truly amazing. This location also has chair messages on occasion. Great selection of meats, including free range products.

Since I live near the UCSD campus, most of the stuff I buy are rather expensive, especially the surrounding supermarkets. Sav-On is pretty good for having slightly cheaper prices for the same goods. I recently developed pictures onto a Kodak Picture CD here. The price came out to be around $6.50 (including a coupon I had from Student Dollar Stretcher), but the service was rather poor. The sales girl was unfriendly and not helpful at all. Point: Don't get your pictures developed here.

Good: That our session finally ended, parking lot was adequate. People in the elevator were nice. (Note that I have nothing to say that I liked about the doctor's office.) Even the drive there and home was more informative and pleasant than speaking with the doctor.. Bad: EXTREMELY LONG WAIT!!!!! Six or seven clients came after us, but were seen before us, even though we had an appointment. Bedside manner, pushed his "traditional parenting" views on us repeatedly, extremely long wait with zero recognition, no stimulation for children in waiting room. The doctor didn't seem terribly interested in addressing our son as a little person, but more like an unruly child. Granted, after an hour of boredom, yes, he was cranky.. Improvements: Note our constructive critiques are above.. Other: We will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever, never, EVER EVER NEVER EVER bring our son to see this pediatrician. He's polite and obviously has a strong practice, but we found him to be very off-putting in that we got more of a lecture that our child was unruly rather than addressing any specifics. We couldn't wait to leave once he started forcing his "family values" upon us. I personally felt he wasn't very interesting in engaging our child to examine him..

I refuse to stay at this chain since this visit in 1999.
During a weekend stay in San Diego, we booked in La Jolla at the Holiday Inn.
First it started when we arrived. We tried to check-in at 12pm. No rooms were clean at that time. So we waited a half an hour. Came back and checked in.
After we got comfortable, my friend was sitting on her bed and noticed a giant waterbug / cockaroach (about 2-3" in size crawling on the bed).
I immediately called the front desk and asked for another room. The employee said it would make no difference that area (In La Jolla) has lots of "those bugs". She sent someone down to take a look.
I lifted the bedspead and searched for the bug and found lots of FOOD crumbs near the floor of the bed. When the employee came to the door, he asked to come in and spray. He was holding a giant can of 'bug killer'. I refused and called the front desk again. I told the employee it was ridiculous to have the man spray the room with odorous spray and the food crumbs are what is bringing the bugs in.
I argued with the employee for 20 mins about staying at another location within their chain. They fought hard and didn't want to return my money. They finally ended up putting me up in a different location in San Diego.
The experience was such an ordeal. I have never gone back.
