The front desk agent at check-in was very professional, welcoming and accommodating. He even offered food options for late night dining, as well as a list of restaurants that were in walking distance ( included dress code requirements as well). The rooms were nice and clean with a balcony view of the water. The kids absolutely loved the fact that the pool didn't close until 11pm. That was just the cherry on top. I told my colleague about my trip and she stated that she loves the San Diego area and pulled out her phone and showed me the hotel she likes to visit with her family and it was the same hotel. I was like omg that's where i stayed. She also told me that she's a Diamond member and advised me to sign up for the rewards. What a coincidence. Great stay and price.

I paid In advance for my stay (weeks) in advance and asked for a king bed with a patio just to end up in a basic double Queen bed. Also receptionist were no help at all I asked for help with several issues I had getting in the room on top of the fact that I was already in a room that I did not pay for and still got no help. She said she couldn’t do nothing about it because they were booked? Yeah wouldn’t stay here again.

We liked the location showing water on both sides. We didn’t like that whenever we would use the tv it was set to CNN every time it was turned on. That is an easy way to turn off many people who do not listen to nonsense like that. Also the guest wifi was not that good, it kept dropping off. It was pretty expensive for just one night stay, at $500 per night, everything should have been top notch instead of just ok. The view is the best feature of the hotel by far.
