Nice location on Mission Bay, nice grounds, friendly staff. Not impressed with the restaurant and it sounded like workers were moving furniture above us most nights. Room across the hall had a loud fan noise of some sort at night and part of the day Not worth the 4 night stay at over $400 per night.

Loved the grounds close to beach, pool lacked towels chronically. Had to buy our own. Room size very comfortable size. On of the two beds did not have fresh linens we never saw housekeeping so used same towels for four days no one even emptied the trashes in the room Do four days for three people. luxury towels and sheets would make a huge difference as our towels were thin and worn out. It is a beautiful place that is “tired”. Needs freshing up with paint and room renovations. Best part is the amazing vegetation and rare ducks and birds

Well worn hotel, rooms that haven't been updated in a long time, extra fees that aren't explained when you check in, although close to beach. Staff does their best and are pleasant but keep looking as this place is over priced for what you get.

Thank you for staying with us, William. While we are happy to receive positive comments, we are disappointed with the low rating. We hope we get the chance to welcome you back again in the near future because we would very much appreciate the chance to provide you with the five-star experience you deserve.

5 out of 5
Truly enjoyed our stay -- exactly what we wanted/needed. The rooms are due for an "facelift". WiFi needs improvement.
