Only complaint was that only one of the three elevators were working. Have stayed here every time we cruise and feel hotel could use some updating. Would like to see more seating at the front desk area while either waiting to check in or waiting for cab arrival. Otherwise the convenience to cruise ship pier and airport is important to us.

What you’d expect from a standard hotel experience. Room was clean, well kept and proximity for walking to San Diego areas quite easy. This isn’t a complaint, but know that the hotel is right next to city transit on the train tracks. The crossing arms for the road next to the hotel ding every 5-15 minutes. The hotel doesn’t have control over this, obviously. But if you’re sensitive to that, maybe look for a different hotel.

Desk chair in room is filthy. Bedside lamp is burned out. Carpets are dirty. One elevator is out of service and the other is hit and miss. Train noise outside is awful. Have stayed here several times in the past and each time the place gets worse than the last. I will never stay here again. Talked to the manager about the situation and he told me the entire hotel is being renovated in the next few months. Guess that’s why they are charging about one hundred dollars more per night next year

The room was nice, staff was very friendly and dis well during a very busy check in. There was a school group (cross countey runners) there which was fine, just made the smaller breakfast area crowded. They need a better flow in this area.

Family Friendly Stay

Upon arrival, the deak clerk was friendly and accommodating. She shared lots of info about hotel stay and amenities. The room was clean, stocked and temperature was comfortable. One bed was more comfortable than the other. The hot breakfast was good and plentiful. The kids loved the waffles. The pool temperature was comfortable and didn't sting the kids' eyes. Loved the fact we were walking distance to the harbor and a playground. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The only reason we didn't give 5 stars was because of the renovation on one of the elevators and one of the beds was too firm.
