8.4/10 Very Good! (1,497 reviews)
It was very hard finding the parking.
I was charging my Tesla and like 30mins later someone had took out the charger. The parking lot didn’t feel safe. I had to get something from the car at night but I was too scared to because there was no security and lots of homeless people around. And it was very easy to be access to homeless people.

8.4/10 Very Good! (1,796 reviews)
The good: Nicely situated resort. Close to parks and beaches. Four well kept, heated pools and hot tubs, with enough room and towels for everyone. Clean rooms and facilities. Very friendly and pleasant to deal with staff. Plenty of dining options around, including delivery to whatever spot you're currently resting at. The bad: be ready to pay up - restaurants, take out, snacks, and beverages all cost double to triple the norm around these parts, within the resort as well as surrounding areas. I booked a waterfront room, but got one that was close to water front yet with no windows or view of any sort (behind a waterfront unit). The landscaping and ponds throughout the property looked very rundown. The surrounding beaches are walkable but do not plan to swim - dirty, rocky, full of weeds and growth. Traffic can be seen and heard all around. Our room was separated by interior doors from two others and we could hear every child scream, cough, and conversation from the adjacent units. Each bungalow comes with a parking spot, but you're charged $42/day for parking still.

9/10 Wonderful! (366 reviews)
A quaint smallish hotel in the bustling Gaslamp quarter. Staff was friendly enough, but check-in was dragged till the very last moment, and the confirmatory text message never made it. Room was sparkling when we got in, but henceforeard left alot to be wanting. Dirty wineglasses were left as is on the counter. Trash bin not cleared, desk/table not wiped and staines stayed with us throughout our stay (4 nights).
All in all a positive experience, but much room for improvement.

4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Mar 29, 2019Parking was a nightmare. We went to the port to park for a whale watching tour and ended up spending 25 minutes looking for parking and then ended up paying $22 for 3 hours. The port itself was cool to see.
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
Mar 25, 2019take a lot of small bills there will be a lot of tips from when you arrive till you leave. they don't let you unload your car yourself and they must take your stuff to your room and they will stand and wait for a tip and same as you leave. Happy hour they ask fo you r to tip for the drinks.
3/5 - Okay
