We came in late and left early. One thing i would suggest is parking fee. We are already paying to stay and to add that big of a parking fee seems excessive.

While the price was ok. I think once you add the parking fees I could have booked a nicer hotel for the additional 50 dollars and truly got two queen size beds rather then Full size. Do your research ladies and gentlemen.

Our room was great, very clean. We came to swim and the pool had several people over-drinking and getting drunk, with glasses in hand, playing with and around children. REALLY inappropriate. We ordered a drink with a double shot and got charged a ridiculous $28 for a shirley temple. On top of paying for parking, which is in itself ridiculous after paying for a hotel, my god I will never stay in this or any hotel that charges for parking in an open air parking lot where there are hundreds of empty spaces.

Wonderful place

When we entered the lobby we were greeted by “ Pamela”, she was so kind and welcoming and treated us as tho we have known each other a long time!!( never met before). We were on the second floor and she helped us carry and load multiple bags to our room!! ( I only wish there was an elevator there , that’s the down fall) . We had a great bfast in the restaurant there and the waiters were super nice also! Thank you for your hospitality! Lisa Craft

So I have never done a review before. But I feel like this hotel needs it. They are in the heart of San Diego. A beautiful pool and lounge area with live music on the weekends. My problem is the hotel rooms themselves. Although the beds are new and nice, it’s as though the carpet is 10 years old, the walls have 12 different layers of paint from over the years. This place needs a serious makeover. Unfortunately I would never stay here again due to the accommodations in the room. Staff was friendly. it’s just not up to my standards as far as a hotel room and comfortability goes.

We felt like we traveled abroad. We had everything we needed and then some.. right there at the hotel. We had plenty of food and drinks at the bar right at the bar. The bar staff were friendly, attentive, and made it feel comfortable. The room was perfect: comfortable bed, refrigerator, and a warm shower. Old town is just down the street. It’s close to the freeway. For those traveling from afar or those who want to staycation, this is definitely a recommendation.
