We knew refurbishment was ongoing but we were very disappointed to learn on our evening arrival that the pool would be closed for the entire duration (7 nights) of our stay, however the hotel had arranged for membership of a nearby fitness centre (including pool) for us, which we frequented on a few occasions and it was a lovely spot. We stayed on the 3rd floor which had been completely refurbished and was lovely. The room was very modern and comfortable.As the kitchen was being refurbished breakfasts were grab and go but we did actually enjoy bringing it to our rooms to enjoy in comfort and our daughters in their pyjamas!! The Managers evening receptions were takeaways but again they were lovely and went down well with a few beers/wines! The staff were a joy from start to finish and could not have done more to make our stay in San Diego a memorable one even tho we did get off to a bad start. Well done to them all during this difficult time of renovation and we look forward to returning to see the finished job!!

My room was a bit drab, but spacious, but the lounge is luxurious, and the free breakfast is very good with a lot of variety. It was one of the rare rainy SoCal days during my stay, but I expect on a normal day the basketball court and large swimming pool would come in handy. The free laundry machines are a nice touch. The hotel is in the area of the Carmel Mtn. Ranch shopping center, but if you want to walk, there's only a Panda Express that's really convenient.

Our family was surprised at how nice this experience was: we had a 2 bedroom suite with a sitting room and small kitchen, both beds were very good quality. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable, even the kitchen was well equipped. The breakfast was one of the better "included-type" meals, and the facility was immaculate and cheerful. There were plenty of places to relax around the facility and the location was close to freeway, etc. Very quiet, staff very professional. We only stayed one night but we would have enjoyed a longer stay. Very easy parking... was a great choice.

I thought this hotel was awesome! I had scoured the Internet looking for the right hotel for 5 people.....they had it all...the suite had a kitchen complete with full size fridge,dishwasher and microwave...pot,pan,eating utensil..even small bottle of dish washing liquid. We had a one bedroom suite w/2full beds and the living room had the sofa bed...free hot breakfast w/ a wonderful lady who was fast and kept the area stocked...something for everyone..each day changed for stuff like sausage or bacon ..there was eggs,potatoes,oatmeal,toast,bagels,waffle iron to make your own Belgian waffle,coffee,tea,fruit,juice,hard oiled eggs,cereal....also there was a washer and dryer free to use..just buy some soap fr the front desk convenience shop...small gym..pool..the nice thing was the free dinner served nightly....when I was there it was taco night one night...(missed it when we went to sea world). The next night was BBQ...grilled burgers and hot dogs..with chips..drinks..beer...wine too I think? :0). One main thing here I liked was the incredibly friendly staff....awesome...

They have a business center if you need Internet and to print things like boarding passes...in the same room books to read and even movies to borrow too.....not new movies but that's ok.

The area is quiet and there a lot of places nearby to eat or if you need anything...within a 5 or 10 minute drive...costco and claim jumper are across the street along with a ton of other places...soooo convenient....I definitely would come back...lots of bang for your buck....not fancy..but clean...and great service.
