Excellant traveler hotel

Down with the grandkids for spring break. Perfect location for SeaWorld and other San Diego activities. Close to Mission Bay beaches. Great breakfast. Staff friendly and available. Pool is small but there is a separate hot spa. Will stay here again.

Great stay at this hotel

Our stay was great. The location was scary at first, but ideal for sea world and the san diego zoo. the parking garage was a tight squeezebut managable for our large rental. The coffee was always fresh in the lobby and the breakfast was wonderful to wake up to. The hotel was very clean, there were perple cleaning all the time, Out of the 3 hotels we stayed at over the week, this was the best!

Great location and price. Advertised pool and hot tub. Doesn’t look like they’ve been used in years.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

The front desk is rude. We were at a sleepover. I paid for the room online. My husband and small kids checked in and they wanted payment again so it held funds we needed for our trip because even though they charged me the insisted on charging us again on a new card. I even talked on the phone and offered a photo ID and card picture. Little kids wait for me to have to come and take care of it. Ridiculous.
