There are times where there are mass arrivals, which seems to occur daily. This can make getting the attention of staff a challenge at times. Otherwise, we truly enjoyed our stay. The concierge was very helpful and everything seems really easy to get to in San Diego.

Nice Place, Lousy Television

First class service from everyone we encountered. Room showing a few signs of wear. Desk chair, water on bathroom floor which looks to be coming from base seal of toilet….yuck. Television has a worn out screen. Blurry and color errors. No way to adjust brightness on tv. Sports on it was horrible.
