Breakfast was good. Pool was small but the pool area was quaint and pretty and the privacy from the street was appreciated. Room was clean. Beds and pillows were comfy. I liked how there was dove shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and a cute little bar soap for hands with soap dish. That was very hospitable! I felt very comfortable. Also, when I smelled marijuana coming up from the floor below, I called the front desk and they handled it promptly and I didn’t smell it again for the remainder of the night. Front desk clerks were kind and accommodating. Using booking.com made my experience easy! Also, I loved that I was led to an affordable and comfortable hotel 6 minutes away from SeaWorld. This was my kids first hotel experience. They thought it was so nice. My husband was impressed with the nice room, quick distance from SeaWorld and the breakfast.
A maintenance lady handled the coffee after touching trash while cleaning up the coffee station. I passed on coffee at breakfast on account of that.

The breakfast is a big surprise. The staff is very nice and helpful. The room is clean. The location is good. Although it is close to the highway, but it’s a a quiet highway at night.
The noise of the elevator. I asked for a quiet room, but ended up in a room right cross the elevator. The noise from the moving elevator was very annoying at night and the early morning. I think we were not the only guests who heard the noise.

The property and location was exactly what I was expecting. The hotel was exactly as it saids on the details section. Non-smoking inside which is what I absolutely expected when booking. Many times hotels are listed as smoke free but when you get to room you can smell the stench of cigarettes. This is very important to me and my family as we have sensitive breathing conditions. The hotel was so clean and comfortable I loved the amount of large towels and toiletries in bathroom and how they don’t use cheaper products they have all dove products in bath which I loved! The fitness center was adequate for the purpose and secure. The swimming pool and hot tub were great. They also had nice little table area for family to relax by hot tub with plenty of extra towels to grab and go. Pool was secure and gated also a plus. The parking was secure and fits many larger sized vehicles. They have security cameras in Parking garage which is great for a little extra piece of mind. The location of hotel was perfect for my family trip to SeaWorld. 5 min drive was perfect! So many great stores and dining right by hotel. The absolute BEST part was the breakfast!! OMG they definitely did not disappoint. That was the best part to be honest it highly exceeded my expectations. The staff was AMAZING and so friendly as well. Big thanks to those kind hardworking Hispanic ladies who made sure me and my family were comfortable they made sure everything was fully stocked during our stay & during breakfast as there were many hungry guests eating and nothing was out of stock which was perfect!!! Me and my family will definitely be booking at this location many more times in the near future for our family trips to SeaWorld. Definitely a 10+ /10.
The only thing that I didn’t like which wasn’t anything really bad I think it’s just my personal preference was the water pressure in the sink in the bathroom. It came out very little on full power but adequate enough to wash hands and brush teeth etc. the shower water pressure was perfect! The dining area for breakfast was adequate for hotel but maybe provided more spacing between each table so it’s not so close to one another. The swimming pool and hot tub walls look a little algae like. Like they needed a good cleaning but could just need a new coat of paint that would definitely help the look of the area for sure and maybe some nice cute lighting around the area as it was pretty dark for our late evening swim.

When we arrived Jacky was at the desk and she was so friendly and helpful. She gave us suggestions for things to do in the area, good places to eat, and gave us maps to get around. I've been to many hotels but never had such a great welcome. Regarding the room, the bed was comfortable and the bedding was heavenly. The breakfast options were delicious.
Not regarding the hotel, but the area. Kinda inconvenient that if you miss your turn you need to go quite a ways before you can flip a u-turn to correct the mistake.

The staff I interacted with was friendly and the hotel itself was alright. Breakfast was good but make sure you arrive early otherwise you will wait for a table and for food to be replenished. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. It was a bit pricey for the area and amenities but we only stayed one night so overall it was fine.
The area is questionable with homeless all around but it's close to area attractions. Our room was clean but strong unpleasant order of feet and dust. I had air freshener with me and that helped. The pool area looked very dreadful with how it was fenced and unfortunately we did not want to get close. Probably making the pool area more inviting would have helped.

The Staff was excellent, the room was very comfortable, and breakfast was better than other hotels. This has caused us to consider this hotel our best choice for this San Deigo location, as well as safe parking and Friday & Saturday evening cookies.
The room view was lousy, but it was a minimum takeaway, considering how secure the hotel is with the surrounding degrading area with obvious homelessness encampments close to the hotel facility.

Close to Sea World, San Diego Zoo, USS Midway, Gaslamp District, Old Town, etc. Our GPS took us through the industrial area behind the hotel which is undesirable and we worried about our choice in hotels. But once on property we were relieved. It is an older property that is very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Therefore, parking is tight and pool is small. Breakfast is good. We stayed four nights. Three breakfasts had the same warm offerings. I would have liked variety. But the overall breakfast offerings is very good. The personnel is all very personable, friendly and helpful. We would stay there again.
I wish there was more variety in the warm breakfast options. I had to reach to find a dislike. But the location could be a minus to some: Location in proximity to the attractions we visited was perfect. But the immediate area in close proximity is not desirable, which correctly is reflected in the nightly rate that we paid. Therefore, it is a great value in my opinion.

It was near attractions like SeaWorld, San Diego zoo and USS midway. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The room is spacious and clean. Breakfast was great. There is a laundry room for us to do our laundry conveniently. Staff were friendly and helpful. Safe and family friendly.
Carpark is a bit narrow for our Chev Tahoe, but they have areas in the carpark for bigger vehicles though limited.

Very clean, the staff was amazing and always there to help. Breakfast was available every morning, and it wasn’t just cereal and bagels, that was a big plus for us.
The only reason I didn’t give a perfect 10, was the internet wasn’t great and the tv didn’t have any apps…so we couldn’t enjoy Netflix or any of the other streaming apps. That was my only negative. Other than that our stay was very exciting and amazing.

The beds were crisp clean! The pillows, blankets and bed were absolutely wonderful!
Needs two more larger trash cans in the rooms. The tiny ones filled up with two coffee cups. Parking was rough, and the pool/hot tub has been out of commission for years!
