The staff was absolutely lovely aside from the breakfast attendants. The front desk, and cleaning staff were kind warm and treats us beautifully. The room was big. The pool was cold but it’s January! There was a planned power outage so that was not fun-however-the power came on early which was a blessing. The surrounding area is slightly disturbing with a small homeless population of which many are addicts.

Yes. The room was clean and neat. The sheets and the pillows are good enough to lay down. The bathroom is clean and the shower is easy to use.The staff are friendly and the food is good too. I hope they can light up the area outside at night so it's not too dark and scary.

Room was very clean. Staff were friendly. Felt safe in the hotel but the doors were locked and security guard was present. Surrounding neighbourhood was not very safe feeling. Dogs barking all night long was not restful. Breakfast room was super crowded but breakfast was decent. Close to Sea World.

After spending a long day at SeaWorld, we checked into the hotel. I was very tired and exhausted and the process was so fast and simple and the clerks were so nice and sympathetic for my tiredness. Our room was beautiful and the temperature was perfect. It was very refreshing large and clean. Hot free breakfast in the morning is always a plus at any hotel. The breakfast hours were from 6 to 10 AM which is a little bit longer than normal and I appreciated it because my kids were hard to wake up! I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and I plan on staying there again on any business I do in San Diego. The location was perfect less than 2 miles from Seaworld less than 5 miles from the beach. Lots of food options around the area as well.
