From the moment I pulled everyone from the Valet to the front desk worker to the custodial staff were all very friendly and helpful. Then I went to the bar and the bartender was exceptionally friendly, there were probably 10 people in the bar and felt like we had all been freinds for years. I will definitely stay again on my next trip to San Diego
