Sweetness! This place is the perfect getaway. Unfortunately, I didn't get to fully enjoy myself here because I arrived late and had to leave early the next morning. At night there is nothing to see and you can drive right past the turn off point if you aren't paying close attention, GPS fail. During the early morning the weather is perfect and the view of the golf course is amazing when not too foggy. The view is what Pechanga tries to copy but doesn't live up to it. Besides Torrey Pines is a very well-known golf course that I hope to play on one day when I won't make a fool of myself.

I love how every room has a view based on the W Shaped building of the hotel. Also, you can't beat the patio or balconies that I will be sure to use next time I visit. My first time was just business and I didn't get to enjoy the way I wanted too. I didn't get to use the pool or fitness center. I set my alarm early before my appointment but I was too lazy and relax to get up. The bar lounge did have a fair share of late night drinkers on a week night. I would also image this place is great for weddings.

I will be back for a weekend getaway but so far so good. Much better than Pechanga based on the service and no casino smoke.
