    I enjoyed my stay with friendly staff and nice pool areas, making for a relaxing atmosphere. However, the initial room placement was noisy, and extra fees for parking added to my overall costs. A great choice for families seeking leisure and proximity to attractions.

    Relaxing Getaway in San Diego

    Our family enjoyed serene walks along landscaped paths with stunning bay views. The Firefly restaurant offered delightful meals. We loved the Dive-In Movie experience—perfect for all ages.

    great location
    charging discrepancies
    cramped room
    multiple withdrawals

    Friendly staff and a great location next to Sea World made for a pleasant experience. The pools are welcoming, with enjoyable bars nearby, and it’s clear the grounds are pet-friendly, as our dog loved it. However, charging discrepancies during the stay created significant stress, with multiple large withdrawals from my account causing frustration. The room itself was cramped, affecting overall comfort during our visit.

    dark room
    cleanliness issues

    The blow-you-away views had me dreaming of sunsets! Plus, the restaurant's takeout was on point, making for some memorable beach picnics. The friendly staff and clean facilities just added that extra sparkle.

    From the get-go, it was a messy dive. We were stuck in a dark, claustrophobic room with no Marina view, and that noisy air conditioner definitely didn't help. Plus, finding dog mess on the floor? Yikes!
