I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the working staff was friendly. The location, while a bit south of San Diego, offered easy access to Pier 32. The breakfast was subpar, but the Italian dishes at the in-house restaurant were a delight.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was well-maintained with soft towels. The free lighted parking was a bonus, although I did notice a couple of stray hairs from previous guests. The cool temperature in the room was just right for me.

I had a delightful stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, well-appointed, and spacious, with nice decor and comfortable beds, making it a comfortable and bright retreat. The pool area was a great space to relax. However, the dining options for vegetarians were limited, and the availability of basic necessities like toilet paper could be improved.
