Very nice stay

The rooms are very clean, and the staff are good. The bathroom was nice - but there was no familiar "heat lamp", and the bathroom door slams shut. You have to prop it open (washcloth?) in order to get any heat in there. Sure was cold in the middle of the night. And without a heat lamp, it was really cold getting out of the shower. Also...the blanket on the bed was not that warm - and lumpy! I asked for a different one - they brought me two more sheets.

Great Service!

The hotel staff was very helpful. We had several requests to make and all of them were met. The staff made traveling with small children (ages 3, 2, 1, and 1 month) very easy.

Nice for the Price

I was surprised to find out the hotel is in the middle of a busy business center (which includes medical, restaurants and a local parish, which all could be great, depending on one's expectations and desires) and frequently used for conferences by various groups. It was initially disappointing, but once inside, the hotel seemed distant from the buzz of the surrounding plaza. Everything was immaculately clean and organized. Front desk, bar (I troubled them many times to fill my water bottle) and ancillary staff were all very courteous and helpful. The hotel is also right next to the freeway, which is not good for noise if one is a light sleeper, but I had no problems. We asked for a room away from the freeway and they were very willing to accomodate our request.

Sightseeing tip: Short drive from hotel

If you are planning to spend time at the Wild Animal Park, I advise you to consider spending at least two days there to take it in fully. There are so many wonderful things to see and it simply cannot adequately be done in one day. There are GREAT deals for annual passes, which turn out to be just a little more than the cost of two adult tickets, so you would almost make up the cost in two days, definitely in three, and it may take three days to see the park in its splendor.

Nice Place

The hotel was nice and the staff was friendly. It's a bit off the beaten path but convenient enough to the city (about 20 minute drive). Just FYI, if you book through [...] or any other 3rd party, you DO NOT get your Hilton Honors points :(

Nice For the Most Part

The hotel was very nice but there was a soccer tournament going on that weekend so alot of NOISY kids in the halls and crowding the pool and hot tub. Room service took 55 minutes to deliver our nachos so by the time we got it... it was one huge, hard, cold mess. The staff was nice and the area was convenient. Over all it was a nice stay.

Overall Good Experience

My wife and I stayed at this Hotel for a few days while we went to Del Mar Race Track. We found this hotel to be competitively price and not too far from the track. The location is excellent since we did visited a local vineyard and a few spots in the area. The Front Desk staff was extremely helpful when providing information. We also found the food at the Hotel very good and reasonably priced. The Rooms were a little on the small side but had a lot of comforts for a hotel of its size. There was internet hook-ups inside the room as well as Refrigerator, Microwave, and Coffee Maker. The fitness center was small but there was a larger Fitness chain close by the Hotel. The bathrooms is decent in size and the water pressure and temperature was excellent. Often when we travel this can be a problem but not in this case. The exterior and interior of the building is well maintained and relatively secure. They have an electronic gate with Hotel key access to the garage but the gate moves very slow, which could allow intruders to gain some access. There was a security presence during the evening hours. The exterior of the building is not too well lit on the side entrance of the building. We found this to be an area for the smokers to enjoy a cigarette. Overall the stay was very good and we would definitely stay there again.
