Perfect!

I was looking for a cheap room to stay in San Diego for 1 night. I couldn't believe the pictures on the web site, but the price was right. I was delightfully surprised to find the rooms were just like the photos on the web. The view was spectacular. Staff were very friendly and helpful. After driving all day to arrive, I was happy to have chosen this hotel.

Really nice!

Loved the room (even with only a "partial view"). Would stay again. Right on the ocean and easy walking for relaxing or heading to the nearby shops and restaurants. FYI, breakfast wasn't comped as reflected in the hotel's description; $9 - not that that was important to me. Just don't be surprised. Definitely would recommend this hotel.

Great Hotel, Pool, View, & Location!

The service here is impeccable - every staff member always warmly greets you and are very respectful. The rooms are nice and the pool is fantastic. My recommendation - don't waste money on a partial ocean view - either do the full ocean view or none at all (the cost premium for a partial is not worth it). The location is active with great restaurants, bars, beach views, etc.... This is a great place for either business or personal!

Perfect Sized Beachfront Hotel

The hotel was beautiful. It's right on the beach. It's not too big so the hotel and the staff are very personable. I recommend getting at least the partial view rooms, it's worth the extra money.

Great Get Away

What a wonderful surprise this hotel was. First of all we were greeted so warmly by the staff. We had our baby grandson with us and the staff was so kind and caring. They all remembered his name and would bring special treats to our room for him! The ocean waves could be heard from our bed! The pool area just beautiful and very well maintained. Access to the beach was very easy with lots of places to wash the sand off before entering the hotel. The landscaping was unreal. To be honest with you, we felt like we had vacationed in Hawaii. Interesting my daughter had a convention down town San Diego, she saw our hotel and wanted to switch because ours was so great! Overall we were very impressed with our experince and the quality of hotels you offer.

We visited Sea World and it was great to go mid-week. There are lots of good restaurants in the area...found a perfect Italian place and took out dinner! Our room had a small kitchen so it was great for the baby, enjoyed every minute of it.
