Great base camp
Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location (at an affordable price) to watch the surfers and play in the waves in PB. Out the hotel door and you're on the beach. Lots of great restaurants and nightlife in PB, and its just a short ride to Hillcrest and other attractions.

Rent a cruiser bike to get around PB to see the sites and grab a free boogie board from the front desk when playing in the surf.

Pleasant beach hotel
On the beach, plenty of restaurants around, good walking atmosphere. Night staff helpful for restaurant ideas. Temperature outside was cooler but had a hard time cooling off the room

Nice Hotel. Great customer service
Very clean. Excellent location on beach. Don't need a car to get to a variety of places to eat. Would be nice if the room descriptions indicated if the room had just a shower or included a bath tub. Nice pool. Thought it was strange they didn't have a stand of area attractions or brochures in the lobby. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Good Times In San Diego
This was an interesting trip with disappointments as well as fun surprises. We were disappointed with the lack of a shuttle from the hotel to various places such as SeaWorld, Old Town & San Diego Zoo. Warning do not take the metro system(bus) we found the drivers to be very unfriendly and the schedule is very complicated to read. The pool/hot tub was great fun when we could use it as most of the time it was over run by children- even late at night. There is no continental breakfast provided for free- a limited menu was available each morning for purchase. The paying to park was unexpected but worth it as it was security patroled at night.The best part was the nightly greetings we received from the desk clerks especially [...] - he took an interest in our days activities, and recommended ways to get from place to place as well as places to eat. He made sure we felt right at home. The view from the pool area is amazing however be prepared to be on display thru the window. The maid service was top notch and we would definitely stay there again expecially since they gave us a thank you discount on our next stay.

Great location on the beach 4 the price
Overall experience was wonderful. Great location right on the sandy beach, boardwalk and boardwalk life/shops/restaruants. Nice pool and jaccuzi to relax in both overlooked boardwalk activities. The only negative for us was that the front desk staff was not familiar with basic hotel amenities. Like pool hours, how to retrieve hotel phone messages, vending machine issues.

Short walk from hotel
The most fun for kids is usually pool and beach. This hotel had both to our disposal. While in the pool, we could watch the people walking on the boardwalk. Easy access from hotel pool to beach. The jaccuzi was also great.

Not really "on the beach "persay
This encounter was accompanied with spring break and for 3 nights we had to endure parties in the hallway and adjoining rooms up and past 3 A.M. This was totally unexceptable. These young people should have been evicted after the first night.

Great option for area
Great location. Oversized room, clean, large bath. Included things like free In-ROOM internet, fridge, Q-tips, cotton balls, coffee pot that made 2 large cups instead of single serving. Last trip I stayed at MUCH more expensive Sheraton on the bay and that hotel did not offer any of these little things that make a big difference. In addition, the staff was friendly and helpful which made our stay a real pleasure.
