“very helpful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 13, 2013 NEW

My team (6) had a big presentation that afternoon, and the catering manager went out of her way to find us a meeting room and lunch service so we could prepare. It was a tremendous help. Great location as well, with close access to both the 163 and 15 freeways. We'll be staying here again soon.

I am very pleased that our team was of great service to help you prepare for your important presentation. Thank you for sharing this positive experience. Let's play the Southern California Freeway game; not only are we in between the 163 and 15, but the 805, 52, and 8 are just as close. See you again soon. Jürgen Oswald General... More

“I hate traveling”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 9, 2013

.....but this hotel made me feel at home! Joe at the front desk and Mark in the restaurant went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The hotel was clean and nice and the hotel management staff should be delighted that their staff made an impression on me that I would remember their names. Good job!

“Great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 7, 2013

Staff was helpful, the Bar stayed open longer for us. Wish the pool was open longer so adults can hang out in the spa when the kids finally go to sleep. Too much salt in chicken wings and bloodymarry's.

I am glad that our team made special arrangements to keep the bar open longer for your enjoyment. I am sorry that we were not able to do the same for the pool as we need to adhere to a "Quiet Time" for other guests to get their rest. Appreciate you letting us know about the higher than necessary salt... More

“5 nights happy stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 3, 2013

Business trip to San Diego and stayed at this hotel. It totally served my purposes. Shuttle service ( 3 mile radius for business purpose) is an excellent add-on and made life even easier. All in all, worth every cent for my stay. Thanks to the management and all staff.

“Last Minute Meetings”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2013

I had to setup a few last minute meetings at the hotel, and the catering sales manager was excellent to work with. She got us setup with rooms, food, and equipment with essentially no warning. The prices were reasonable and the facilities were well managed. No complaints.

This is what we live for. Making arrangements last minute, scrambling behind the scenes, but not noticeable to our guests. We take pride in being perceived as easy to work with, so thank you for recognizing this important attribute. Keep those meetings coming! Jürgen Oswald General Manager More
