We have stayed a few times at the Catameran, I came here alot as a child with my family as well. The rooms could absolutley use an update but this last visit our room was not very clean. In additon to the lack of cleanliness, we were "upgraded" to a room without consent, just told when the keys were handed over to us. We originally booked a resort view room which I was excited for because its a beautiful resort but was given a tower room on the 10th floor. Once we got to the room and was uncomfortable given the height and having a toddler and the lack of cleanleness we immediatly called the front desk to ask for our original room only to be told they are fully booked which means they never had our room we booked in advance avaliable in the first place. My husband went to speak to the manager who was very unprofressinal and rude and when he said we may leave she responded with "Okay." No customer service at all. Very sad as this was a place we have stayed at and loved but the lack of compassion from their staff has contemplating ever staying again!

Our room wasn’t ready when we arrived. We had to wait for almost a hour before we could get in our room . The room is very basic. For almost $500 per day! No tub, no bidet. Toiletries no daily supply. And a lot more. Very disappointing experience!

Meal options at a decent price were not existent. $19 Avacado Toast!!!! Give me a break! Check in time was 4pm, we arrived a little early hoping to get in and couldn't but that wasn't a problem. The problem was, the front staff told me I would receive a text letting us know the room was ready, well, 5pm rolled around and no text came. I had to walk all the way back to the front desk with out bags to see if it was actually ready which it was.

Great location and fantastic on-site beach area in Mission Bay. Pool wasn't well maintained and understaffed, but when you're across the street from a great beach, why are you at the pool? Restaurants were super pricey, so I recommend walking to one of the several restaurants close by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
