Okay for a quick stay.
Hotel was okay. If I needed a quick place to stay. I would return. Mattress was a bit worn and uncomfortable. As specified by others furnishing is very old. Bathroom was very small in that I had to step in away from door to close as there was not enough room. Ceiling had a leak from above that thankfully landed in the wash basin area preventing a wet carpet. I reported this. On the other side, very quiet place, nice area, conveniently close to old town and sea world. Employees very nice and helpful. Breakfast in their restaurant was fabulous. They make the greatest waffles and are know for this. Like I said nice place for a quick stay. Will return to their restaurant.

Would stay again!
This hotel was very close to the San Diego Zoo. We flew in late at night and just needed a place to stay the night. Clean rooms. We were too late to swim but the pool area looked really nice. I would stay here again.

Birthday Upset
The hotel was ok the people were friendly and the coffee shop was good but the rooms were terrible. The mattress on the bed was BAD! I felt like I was sleeping on a piece of board or better yet the floor. I complained and they were more than willing to move me to another room but told me the chances of getting the same mattress was likely. Forget it then, why move. They did give me extra pillows and blankets to soften up the mattress but that could only do so much. I was also not impressed with the bathroom. The space was so tight that it was very uncomfortable. I will not be staying here again.
