• Great location, restaurant and pool area.
• No bathroom counter space, unhelpful staff.

“The hotel itself was beautiful, but the rooms are not very functional. There is no bathroom counter space and the biggest problem was not being able to get onto their internet service with our own laptop. They charged $10 per day for internet service, but then still was not able to get on and had to use the one computer that they had in the gift shop. The woman in the gift shop was quite unfriendly and told me that I had to pay for the service if I was on the computer for more than 5 minutes even though there was no one waiting. It was extremely frustrating since most of my business is handled on the internet.”

• Location and cleanliness.
• Paid parking and the service.

“Great location, beautiful hotel. But what is with the paid parking everywhere you go in California? Not cool. Met up with a horribly grouchy employee at check in that followed us around the parking lot telling us that we couldn't park there. We should have asked for luggage help and we don't have to tip. Also, the hotel only had 1 computer with internet available and they charged 50 a minute. They get you any way they can.”

• The bed was awesome with a super comfy down comforter.
• The rooms are very small.

“Our short stay there (2 nights) was great, the hotel staff was helpful and the maids actually paid attention to the DND sign on the door - no awkward knocks at 8am when we wanted to sleep in. Room was clean, bed, sheets and down bedding was a plus! I think the only critique of this room was that it was small - we got a king with a roll away for our 8 year old and we had zero room to move around in the room after the bed was put down. I wasn't expecting some palatial suite, but a little walking room in the sleep area of the room would have been nice.”

• The pool was very nice and it was hardly ever packed with people.
• The room was dirty and very noisy.

“I wouldn't personally stay here again. The staff wasn't helpful or courteous. The room that I stayed in was dirty and noisy, there was something like an electric pump running constantly. Also, I was given a handicap room with no shower--just a curtain in the corner and a drain. The drain didn't work, so my bathroom was flooded. It's not very pleasant trying to get ready in the morning while standing in a pool of water.”

• The pool area was lovely, and the berry water in the lobby was delicious!
• The gift shop could have had longer hours, and/or a vending machine with snacks could have been available.

“My guest and I were almost entirely delighted with this hotel. The cafe was run a bit sloppy the morning we had breakfast there - it didn't seem like anyone really knew what was going on. Our biggest complaint was the cost for parking - you are already paying for a room and most likely spending money inside the hotel (cafe, gift shop, etc.) - parking should be complimentary at a hotel like this. Other than that, it was a pleasure to stay at this hotel.”

“Hotel was located very centrally for our needs and was close to any convenience imaginable. Was a little difficult to get to the first time as streets have different names for the same street, but that is not the hotels fault. Very easy to find once you get the Lay of the land though. Staff were very helpful and courteous and not overbearing. Would go again at any time and refer to friends and family.”

“I thought this was a nice hotel. It was somewhat family friendly, maybe geared more for families with older kids (mine are 4 & 7). The location was good, near plenty of food options and shopping and near I-8. With the cost of the hotel (and everything else), one shouldn't have to pay for parking these days. Overall, San Diego is a great place to visit. We may stay here again when the kids are older.”

• Convenient location, nice balcony, comfortable bed.
• No safety box and refrigerator in room. Parking is expensive.

“This is overall a nice hotel, good for business travelers mostly, but ok for family too. Their swimming pool looks quite nice. It's a block from the trolley, and it's very convenient. It's also very close to Mission Valley Center with all kinds of shopping in it. Room size is decent, and bathroom is clean too. I like the balcony especially in the nice summer days. Parking is expensive, so we park on the street right by the hotel. It's next to a bunch of business buildings/complex so the general area is quite safe in my opinion. Staff is very polite and helpful. We found an error on our hotel room bill, and they take care of it immediately without any problem.”

• Well I got sick when I got to the hotel and the staff was great beyond what anyone should have to do. The bed felt like I was lying on a cloud.
• I did not like not being able to take a swim or really get to enjoy the resort I wish time could have stood still we need to go back.

“So from the time we pulled the car up to the time we drove away. The staff has been great form parking the car to taking pictures of us at the resort. The maid came to clean the room when I was sick. The decor brought a smile to my face even when I was not feeling like smiling. The Ice cold strawberry and lemon/lime water was such a nice touch to the cute little sign about the sours in the lobby that night what fun things for the kids great Idea. We have been on a very limited budget this last year and this was a nice step up from the best westerns we have been able to afford.”
