    cleanliness concerns
    insufficient towels

    Friendly staff and a clean King Room with a mini fridge made my solo stay pleasant. However, I faced daily issues with housekeeping, receiving fewer towels than needed. Additionally, cleanliness in the breakfast area was concerning, deterring me from dining there more than once.

    great location
    comfy room
    decent breakfast
    slippery walkways

    We loved the location near SeaWorld and the San Diego Zoo. Easy access to activities made our trip unforgettable. Enjoyed our comfy Queen Room and breakfast was decent. Just a heads-up, the walkways can be a bit slick when wet, so watch your step!

    One of our friends slipped on the wet walkways and fell, which was quite troublesome for us all during our stay.

    comfy bed
    unstable floors

    A night of surprises

    The comfy bed made up for a long day of travel. The nearby restaurants were a delight—perfect for families like us looking for tasty meals after a long day!

    However, the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. The bathroom had a broken switch and the floors felt unstable, leaving us a bit uneasy during our stay.

    great location
    fun attractions
    unkept rooms

    The location was perfect for our family with four teenagers. We loved being just minutes away from the San Diego Zoo, which we visited multiple times! It was great to have easy access to other attractions like SeaWorld in such a fun area.

    My kids wished for better room cleanliness and maintenance.

    comfy room
    great location
    wavy walkways
    smelly air conditioner

    Hit up some tasty spots nearby like Kettle & Stone for coffee and The Islands for burgers – both just a short ride away! Our Queen Room was comfy enough for a quick snooze after a day of food adventures. Plus, the location's a solid base to explore all the San Diego flavors!

    But man, those walkways need a makeover. they felt like a wavy funhouse! Also, the air conditioner had a whiff that was like a bad laundry day. We were so beat after our trek that we just crashed, but it was hard to ignore the shabby details.

    outdoor pool
    sun loungers
    spacious room
    room maintenance

    I had a good time relaxing by the outdoor pool and the sun loungers were a bonus after a long day of exploring! The room was spacious enough for my needs, but it could've used a touch-up here and there. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I’d recommend it for anyone looking to unwind. 😊

    easy check-in

    Solo traveler looking for decent stay

    It was nice to have a clean room with modern furniture and a good selection of channels on the tv. The check-in and out was a breeze, which was a relief after a long drive.

    It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still acceptable.

    the outdoor swimming pool was refreshing after a long day of exploring, but watch out for the inconsistent housekeeping; our room got skipped a day!
