We have stayed here multiple time and this stay was for a very long weekend. I was very surprised with this stay though. The bars poolside and in the lobby were never open. After a busy day out and about on Saturday I thought I would sit down and have a nice cold beer and watch a little TV. Instead we had to walk down the street. The elevator call button was also not working. I notified staff but it wasn't fixed by the time we left.

Wonderful hotel in a nice area. We really enjoyed our stay. We loved that they had full size playpens instead of the dinky cribs or pack n plays we get at most areas. Unfortunately the EV charger was of the "app required" variety which I hate but I suspect the hotel was unaware of this when they were installed.

Good location lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Nice breakfast enough choice, the made fresh omelettes are tasty like that it is proper crockery and cutlery rather than disposable. Pool area very clean and towels provided saw the chlorine levels being checked and added . Large bubbling hot tub. Very good stay

Excellent customer service. Very clean throughout the hotel and inside room and bathroom. Room and bathroom is spacious. Tub shower is excellent. Water pressure is super. The family loved the Pool and hot tub area. Also outdoor area is available and there’s an outdoor bar that opens in the evening. Breakfast in the morning was delicious with waffles, pancakes, eggs, a protein and potatoes. Can also request for kitchen staff to make an omelet if you prefer. Will definitely recommend this hotel.

Beds were comfortable and rooms were clean. The amphitheater is a short drive away, but the amenities are somewhat lacking. The pools are very basic, the courtyard bar was not open and seemed pretty lack luster compared to the pictures, but the check in process was easy and the staff was nice.

It was comfortable and clean. We had clean towels daily and beds were remade while out for the day. It’s a small thing but a lot of hotels stopped during Covid and never started back up. My only complaint was the hallways had a weird odor. They were renovating so that may have been it.

From check in to check out everything was great. This is a newer property in a really great location. There are many stores and restaurants within walking distance. We just stayed oned night before heading out on a vacation from Tijuana airport but it was clean and comfortable. The rooms are large and there is a divider between the two queen beds which I appreciated since we were traveling with our daughter and her husband (it gave us just a little extra privacy that we wouldn't have in a typical room with two queen beds). We will definitely stay here again if the need arises.

I rated 3 stars under property condition and facilities because first the shower has very low pressure of water coming out. We stayed at a king size bedroom. Second, the room is very spacious with very little furniture. Theres no coffee table and couch. Third, the bathroom is also spacious but the bathtub is very small and they still put a built in bench on it, which made it even smaller. Then, the bathroom sink is also small especially for a husband and wife sharing it. Lastly, theres no separate vanity area for ladies to use for doing make-up and such.

Rooms are spacious, as is bathroom. Separate tub & shower! Tub was deep enough to soak in. Microwave in room. Free hot breakfast was nice: eggs, potatoes, bagels and waffles. Noon checkout reigns supreme. Alijah at check in was wonderful: pleasant & informative. Plenty of parking. Lots of awesome eateries in immediate area. Pricey, but nice.

I was so happy when they said my room was on the 1st floor. But then after getting to the room everything was great till time for bed. It felt like sleeping on a rock. As a matter of fact, my room was next to some kind of employee rooms and the loud talking is what woke me up. Then because the bed was so hard, when I got up I had lower back pain. I have stayed here many times before and never had that problem. Will I continue to stay there most likely, but I will bring a blow up bed just in case I need it. I do like the location and the employees here and they always are very nice to me. But the bed yah that was a problem.

The place is very nice. There were a few concerns / issues that would improve my rating. The hours of breakfast end at 9 am, not giving time for people to get ready and eat before checking out. The other issue was that the cleaning staff knocked on our room door at 9:30 in the morning and we were still asleep.

Overall, a great stay. If I’m ever back in the area, I’ll definitely choose this hotel again!

This hotel has the BEST free breakfast ever! So many options to choose from! The hotel is very clean and quiet. I did not hear a single hallway or next door noise. We came to SD for the Wonderfront Festival and this hotel is about a 28 min drive (With traffic) from DT San Diego, and so much more affordable than staying DT. For this price and the amazing breakfast, and spacious, clean rooms, you can't beat it! I don't care about it being eco friendly or not so that has no weight on my review.

The hotel itself was very nice but breakfast was bad for both days (7/5 and 7/6). On the first day, they cut off the omelet line 1/2 hour before breakfast ended. We weren't told about this during check-in. And on the second day, the omelet station wasn't even open. There was no sign telling guests about it. When we asked someone, we were told there's no omelet on Saturday. Again, we weren't told about that during check-in. The other breakfast choices were average at best. It's not even on par with Holiday Inn Express. I chose this hotel mainly because of the omelet breakfast and without it, it's not worth the money we paid.
