Perfect location for all beaches, downtown, and Coronado island. Close to restaurants. Great to wake up to the water views. We were on the bay side but it was beautiful to see the navy ships go by and the downtown city lights. Would stay here again Pools and hot tubs were open late and the fire place outside was charming
Love the location next to Marina place and walkable roads for walking down the marina and many restaurants. food at the restaurant is great. Only we had 4 nights but wanted to extended to one more night and hotel was booked and I was amazed such a big hotel and couldn't accommodate our needs to stay one more night at the same room. other than that I like the place.
We always stay at this hotel and love it! This time we didn’t even have soap to wash our hands, our door latch didn’t work (they fixed it on day of check out), the sink wouldn’t drain, and when they came to clean our room they only made one bed which we were so confused about. The hotel and staff are so nice and the location is great, but for the amount of money per night to stay I kind of expect more.
I’ve been coming to this hotel since I was a kid with my parents. I now have taken my own children a few times and it’s our favorite hotel in San Diego. It’s a beautiful property and in a great location.
This property was really nice. The staff was incredible the facilities were very nice. We were only there for one night but was able to do a lot of stuff in that shot time. The area was so walkable great city views and of the ships coming in and out of the harbor. Only one problem was the mattress was not very comfortable. I have a really bad back and was not able to sleep really well because of the mattress. Would we come back again, probably.
