Great beach getaway

Hotel was very nice, great kitchenette with everything you need to make basic meals but also near several great restaurants. Rooms were nice and comfortable. Bidet toilets are very loud and automatically flush - you can hear your neighbors toilet flushing. Beds were confortable but low to the gound so may be a challenge for some. Minimal parking and requires pre booking. There is not a lot of other parking in the area so be sure to book that right away. Overall highly reccomend and would stay here again.

The place was clean and about a block from the beach. But you can hear every sound for a square block in the room. It is not luxury, just sort of average, but clean place.

It was my boyfriend‘s 21st birthday trip, and the general manager there gave us a complimentary bottle as well as upgraded our room for free for his birthday. I think the service was amazing. The only thing that we had an issue with was when we got into our hotel, there was an empty bottle of body wash and not enough towels. The cleaning lady also did not clean our room once the three days that we were there. Other than that, my boyfriend and I had an amazing time staying at this hotel. We really recommended it, and thank the general manager a lot for what she did for us. I will also say that make sure you buy a guest pass for the parking! My boyfriend and I had a hard time finding parking there, but it all got solved when we paid to use the parking the hotel offered us the rest of the time we were there.

Good Location!

Such an amazing location! Easy access to the beach and the bay. Great hub for our adventures! Our room was spacious and clean but definitely lacking in insulation. The walls are thin and you can hear everything going on in the neighborhood. If you are a rewards member and expecting perks, they will not be provided as there is no actual office staffed 27/7

I really enjoyed my stay! The room was clean, the bidet was a nice touch, and I had one of the best night's sleep I've ever had while traveling. Absolutely fantastic location between Mission Beach and Mission Bay. I was a little worried when it appeared to be on a side street or alley, but NOPE, it was in the perfect location. I didn't interact with the staff face-to-face, but I am glad they were able to accommodate my early check in. That was really important for me. Also, ask if there are places nearby where you can drop off your bag for a couple of hours. I definitely recommend it and would consider staying there on my next trip to San Diego.

I really enjoyed my stay, the check in and check out process was easy and all my questions were answered over the phone, so friendly and so helpful. The rain shower in the bathroom was perfect. The kitchenette in our room had everything we needed to make a nice steak dinner, and we had a nice walk around the area. I would definitely stay here again.
