Good Place To Get Started

We were very pleased to find out that we had free breakfast every morning for entire party of 5. The kids loved the automatic pancake machine. They also had a new breakfast meat each day.Hotel staff was helpful but the parking spots were so small that you could not have SUV's parked next to each other. Also if you arrived back to the Hotel after 9:00 p.m. you had to park in the street. Parking in SD though is a problem at most hotels and they did not charge for parking either so not a total bust. All in all a good value..

Hope you have a small car

The location for this hotel is great. Very close to Sea World and the freeway. Lots of places to eat around it. Horrible parking. If you're driving an SUV, you can pretty much forget about parking in their garage. Spent 20 min trying to pull into their VERY small parking places. Also, to get to the pool, you have to walk through the parking garage.

Outstanding Family Vacation

San Diego is an amazing city with plenty of things to do and places to eat. This hotel is centrally located to just about all major attractions...would've rated it a 5. Although, there is nothing scenic to look at outside the hotel window--not the hotel's fault. The hotel was very clean, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We would certainly stay there again upon our next visit!
