Ok - This is considered a 2-3 star hotel. I mean its about to reach 3 star!! We payed $300 a night to get a room with a pool view. Upon arrival, they did not have this room for us! so messed up! My advise- book the cheapest room option if you even bother staying here anyways. You are not promised that room you booked online that you paid for extra! The only nice thing about this hotel, is the pool. Rooms are old and outdated. The AC was broken inside our hotel room. Called a few times to the front desk to have someone come & fix it. You would think they would give us another room? or come fix it.. Nope. Also, good luck trying too get a hold of the front desk to begin with. Very far from the beach. At least a 20 min drive. I recommend staying at a hotel elsewhere, and paying much less money, there's very nice options i saw for $130 with a nice pool, & even nicer, newer rooms... if your OK with driving 20 mins to the beach...do not choose to stay here. You would think just because its right beside the ocean, you could maybe see the ocean, no there is no ocean view. I think this place is only good deal for golfers at the least. Honest review. The only reason we booked it was because it was it was a 4 star hotel rating, and i assumed it was "nicer." Should have booked the cheaper hotel options San Diego had to offer. Things to note: parking is not free. They only gave us free parking because we did not get that room we booked! still only saved us $60 verses $700 total for 2 nights with fees. Ugly hotel.
