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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
