"It's definitely an aged property, but overall a great place to stay. The rooms were the highlight for us, very well updated. The outdoor areas less so. The pool area lacks a 4-star experience IMO, but perfect for families with young kids (it was chaotic, but plenty of towels and chairs). Solid food at restaurants, great location."

"Stayed 3 nights at the Legacy Resort and had a great experience. The room was spotless — fresh linens, clean bathroom, and housekeeping kept everything tidy throughout our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable, some of the best sleep we've had at a hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful from check-in to check-out, quick with any request we had. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, no issues streaming or getting work done. Great location in Hotel Circle with easy freeway access to everywhere in San Diego, and parking was convenient. Would definitely stay here again!"
