The location was great and the staff pleasant but the hotel is tired and in desperate need of a renovation. My room was musty smelling and the sheets felt like there was sand in them. The bathroom was old and the water pressure awful. One night I couldn’t even get hot water in the shower. I will not be returning.
Stayed in the tower P floor and didn't think it was very clean, but then moved to garden and it was nice
We loved it there. Our room had a weird musty smell to it. That was the only downfall. We will definitely go back. Thank you.
This property is like being on a resort in an island. So beautiful. Loved the nightly entertainment Restaurant food was ok. Location was excellent being on the bay was like being on a lake. And one block walk to Mission beach! Only areas for improvement is rooms need some updating. They provide a stove but no pans and please ask the landscaping people not to use the blower at 7am every morning! But overall great stay would stay again!
Lovely paradise of a resort in the heart of San Diego
Great location, friendly staff but outdated rooms old stuff.
The outside property is fairly well maintained, giving you a slight island vibe. The interior of the property, including the lobby and actual rooms are very disappointing. The rooms appear to not have been renovated whatsoever since the property was built. Our room was a “partial” ocean view (Room 650). They definitely need to stress “partial” in the room description as your main view is the parking structure and your “partial” view of the ocean to the left, is obstructed by a large, untrimmed palm tree. We had no hot water the two evenings we stayed. My husband called the front desk and they told him there was nothing they could do about it as maintenance didn’t come in until the morning. The carpet, the bedding, the desk, armoire, the two chairs, all old. The bathroom is tiny. You can outstretch your arms and almost reach wall to wall. The bathroom was clean, however, it was hard to tell as the tile, tub, toilet, sink, and fixtures are so old and covered in nicks/scratches/discolored. Our room was located directly off the elevator, a storage unit, and stairwell. Literally every time we left and came back to our room it reeked of marijuana. The odor was strong, not faint. The only positive experience was the gentleman that worked the umbrellas/chairs on the outside lawn. I wish I would’ve gotten his name as he was helpful, polite, and cheery. The view of the bay sitting on the lawn is awesome. Hotel definitely needs to put money in capital projects for renovations.
The room was very outdated , not a 4 star resort to say the least. If the room were updated no popcorn ceiling outdated everything
Nice place and view of the beach ,friendly staff. And good price
We loved every single thing about the stay ... i plqn on making it back at least once a year.... I'm also referring them to everyone i know ❤
The grounds and location were beautiful! Lots to walk to and felt like we stayed someplace special.
Endless "fees" for parking and a "hotel fee" almost equal to the price we paid Orbitz for the room. The resort is old, but it is nice and the staff were pleasant. We enjoyed the activities, pool, and grounds. Also the proximity to the beach and location in San Diego is good. With all the "fees" however, we will not go back there, or anywhere in California for that matter.
I loved that access to the beach was a block to 2 blocks away.
My family and I were satisfied with our stay! My kids had fun and everything was excellent!
Beautiful facility, great location, beautiful grounds Dinner was amazing!!! Coffee & smoothies A Maybe clean a/c vents in rooms
We went on a family reunion vacation for 3 days and I reserved 2 rooms next to each other. Bathrooms were horrible so filthy and outdated. We were able to see bugs all over the units. We didn’t have any room serviced and had to walk to guest service desk to ask for tp and clean towels, coffee and supplies, Our room trash cans were full and were never picked up. They also charge For parking $27 per car On their on property, it’s like if people has any option to park somewhere else, The food in the restaurants were horrible and super overpriced and not much variety. The area and Neighborhood was really nasty, dirty, I don’t recommend for families with kids to walk around. We had very bad experience and will never go back
