Ranchita Vacations from $459

There was confusion at check in that that hotels.com over booked but the manager Eric accommodated us with an upgraded room. Also We didn’t realize it was a timeshare hotel. Also hotels.com didn’t notify us the the elevator is out of order until December. So everyone needs to walk up stairs to their rooms. Our room was on the 3rd floor. So we got a workout every day. Which we did not mind. We thought of it as a good workout. The hotel was worth it for all they provide and location. Also The staff was very nice. They give breakfast on Mondays and free drinks and treats in lobby during the week during happy hour. Also they were kind enough to carry our luggage to room for us. We ended up adding 2 more days. They also provide a free shuttle to and from the Lowes hotel to use pool etc. They also give vouchers for free appetizers at some local restaurants. We enjoyed our stay. We would stay again for the value.

Staff was very helpful - allowed early check in, late check out, helped us borrow the 2 bikes that they had on property. Good location, very walkable. Our room was larger than expected with a nice big shower. Like that there was a bar in the lobby when I wanted to meet a friend also in town

Beds were super comfortable, a/c worked really good in the room and there was a heat wave while we were there so that helped. Not the most updated hotel but we knew before we went and I don’t care that much about that as long as it’s clean. Which it was. Staff was friendly and helpful, the dockside restaurant has great food. Loved the cabanas by the water. Ordered a drink to our cabana and it turned out to be $40 Canadian so wouldn’t suggest doing that but just wanted to do it because I could. Location is fairly good. Not a ton of good restaurants in the area though. Dockside and the coaster saloon are my suggestions. Easy to grab a bus into town or uber. Halfway up Mission Beach towards Pacifica Beach are some good restaurants though. A bit of a walk but could rent a bike or take the bus.

Stayed here before , good area and close to Petco park . Room was clean , AC worked nicely , sheets & bed were comfortable . I'd stay here again , reason for the 4 stars , the water pressure this time was a trickle . If it was sprinkling outside , that would've worked better than the shower head in my room .
