8.2/10 Very Good! (561 reviews)
This property uses "contactless" hosting, which means there's no staff on site. In my case, the A/C unit in my room was inoperable and so I requested maintenance through the text message connection to somebody, somewhere. I received text message cheery responses and assurances for 2.5 days, but nothing ever happened. No repair happened. No one seemed to show up. I did overhear other guests complaining about a similar situation. So, if you're not too fussy, if you're just looking for a flop on Imperial Beach, this is a not a bad deal. It's like renting a sleep pod at an airport. Hope everything goes smoothly!

We loved our stay at Margaritaville! Came down to go to the zoo and to decompress after a terrible loss in our family. Turns out our trip coincided with the Padres post season wildcard playoffs which was so much fun! Lots of excitement and energy. Our room was beautiful and loved the decor throughout the hotel. Pool was exceptional-loved all the stairs with hand rails for easy entry and exit. Weather was perfect! Now back to the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
