I enjoyed how we were so close to mission beach which already had a lot to do but felt that the hotel had a lot as well. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after long days and then swimming in the pool (which was actually pretty warm!). My pups were super happy about having goodie bags and bowls. We enjoyed walking the trails around the hotel. The only downside we found was the room itself wasn’t super clean such as red splotches in the bathroom.

Only one way in and out made it difficult to just get to the front desk. The room was nice in that it had a mini fridge, microwave, and safe but the room was VERY noisy between outside traffic (cars), people walking by, and the AC/heater unit loudly kicking in and off every 5 minutes making for a lousy 3 nights of sleep. The property itself seemed nice as we walked to the onsite restaurant Firefly for dinner one night. The staff there and the food were all amazing and were probably the only enjoyable part of our entire stay. We visit San Diego a lot but will not stay here again.
