"It was right in the heart of Old Town yet it was so quiet and relaxing inside the unit. Honeycomb blinds and blackout curtains insured total privacy when desired and the queen bed was so comfortable, we were able to sleep soundly and wake up refreshed. Our two dogs really enjoyed their stay as well. All of us had everything we needed, including off-street parking Definitely planning to stay here again in the future."

"No complaints about the property, except the following comments, which were not the fault of the host, as explained below--hence the 5 stars. I booked this for my family, who was in town for an event. I am a San Diego resident. I didn't realize a few things until after I had booked the property, albeit it was still within the cancellation window. First, that this is similar to an ADU attached to a different main house. Once the host sent the address, I googled the property, which led to...

Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Homeless encampment behind the outdoor parking lot with homeless people walking along the fence lines. It’s worry-some for those who park in that area, especially when there’s a park at your own risk disclaimer. Room fridge was not working. Other than that the hotel is nice."
