My own opinion

I enjoyed the room and it was perfect for our family of 6. The beds were extra comfortable. The free breakfast was good. The pool was heated, which was awesome for my kids. Only bad things were, that there was no extra linens or pillows in the room and the phone wasnt working to call the front desk but they were able to provide linens after i went down to the front desk. The fridge was also not plugged in and we couldnt get the cord to plug it in. Other than that i thought it was a great hotel and would stay again.

We stayed in the room with two bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room. We enjoyed the space we had. Also the food options around the hotel. The comfort of the beds was good. We would definitely consider going back when we go to San Diego.

Disappointed

So when I called the first two times I asked him for a first floor room because of our dogs. We did not get that so they had to look for a room for us. Then when they found one we got into the room, the room was somewhat clean. There was things in the microwave and there was things left over in the drawers. This room was not very cleaned at all. They did offer us another room, but my son who has autism was already relaxing and laying down. So we just stayed in the room. But we did have room service come to the room and clean it. But I still felt like that room that we stayed in was not very clean. Plus that when we took a shower in the bathtub the tub just started tub, with water because the drain was not draining fast enough. I used to be a manager for a hotel for housekeeping. I really think that the managers need to look into all the rooms after the housekeeping is done cleaning the room. Because I feel like sometimes they are not doing their jobs. Because this is the second time we stayed at a hotel like this, and it was the same way. Again thank you very much. I don’t think we will be staying at this hotel ever again.

The stay was amazing. We came with our two year old and practically had the pool and basketball court area to ourselves every time we went. Our room was clean, the only thing is housekeeping is once a week so if you need towels or toiletries you need to go to the front desk. The breakfast was yummy and changed somewhat daily. The staff was helpful and friendly. Do keep in mind parking will have a $10 payment a night, I wasn’t expecting it since we paid for the stay. Overall it was a great experience.
