My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were extremely nice and well sanitized, ensuring a restful sleep. However, the proximity to a mechanical closet with loud sounds coming out of it at 2 pm was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms that are well sanitized, with lovely hillside views. However, the absence of a shower curtain may be inconvenient. The friendly and courteous service includes a warm welcome upon check-in and proactive inquiries about guest satisfaction during breakfast. The location, slightly outside the center of San Diego, provides a relaxing atmosphere with a beautiful fireplace and large TV, although it is very close to SeaWorld. The dining experience exceeds expectations, especially with the world-famous seasoned fries. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring a pleasant stay.
