“This hotel certainly captures the spirit of a family beach vacation with its private beach, a rare find in San Diego. The resort-style amenities, from the heated pool to the seal exhibit, ensure that both adults and children have something to enjoy; however, some areas could use a refresh. Its proximity to Mission Bay and spacious suites make it ideal for longer stays.”

Wonderful stay with excellent service and great amenities!

waterfront roomearly check-inlate check-outminimal machines
I received a room closest to the hotel's west side! Stacy at the front desk placed me in a waterfront room. I had booked a regular garden room. She also arranged an early check-in and late check-out. Customer service was excellent!
The fitness center was smaller than I expected. It had minimal equipment, which limited my workout options. I wished it had more machines for a comprehensive exercise session.

The front desk staff helped with directions around the hotel. I enjoyed the seal exhibit (a unique feature!). The cafe offered a tasty breakfast.
The hallway carpets showed some wear.

Satisfactory Stay

wonderful staffconvenient locationchildren activitiesbad room smellbathroom improvementswarmer bedroom
The staff was wonderful. I appreciated the convenient location. The hotel had many activities available for children. Complementary parking was a bonus.
Our room smelled badly, similar to a wet dog. The bathroom need some improvements. The bedroom was warmer because of the evap cooler was only in the living area. I did not appreciate this.
