This hotel provides a beautiful setting with a great view of the bay. Only a short ride to many tourist locations. There are good restaurants nearby. We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy all this hotel has to offer.

This hotel was okay but out of all the ones we had stayed in during our 3 weeks San Fran to LA road trip, it was the most disappointing unfortunately.

I realise that if you want to be close to Seaworld etc then this is perfect, but if like us, you didn;t want to drive into town and wanted to be near the downtown area more, then this location wasn't ideal.

The buses are frequent enough in daytime but you have to get 2 and it takes around 30 mins to get into Gaslamp area of San Diego so not great for nights out (tax was around $35 to get back at night).

The room was dark and unfortunately smelt quite stale, not many lights in the room on the whole and one in the room and the bathroom didn't work.

The complex is sweet with a nice tennis court and pretty duck pond and swimming pool. The staff were polite and helpful and the night courtesy bus driver was a sweethear and very helpful with advice on where to go. Its sister hotel across the bay is where all the spa treatments are and it is definitely more upmaket of the 2.

Had it been more central i would definitely stay again (despite the odd smell in the room) and the walks around the bay and beach are nice, as is the boat trip over the bay. But if you're looking to see San Diego and experience it, i'd opt for somewhere down town rather than out in the Bay and close to Seaworld etc.

Stayed for four nights and have no complaints. Great location for walking or biking to Mission Beach and around bay. Beautiful grounds and nice private beach. We stayed in a bay view suite and it was well worth the money (4th night free). We enjoyed the view to the east as there was plenty to observe: sailboats, rowers, kayaks. (I don't think that the west side view would be as interesting except for the sunsets.) Seems as if there is plenty to do at the resort but we were there during unseasonably cold, windy weather and couldn't enjoy the many outdoor activities that the resort has to offer. We did enjoy watching the seal feedings and enjoyed the pool. Free ride on the sternwheeler was a plus. We had a great experience and will return!

We stayed 4 nights and we didn't want to leave.Very peaceful and relaxing.Great rooms and staff was very nice.Would definatly go again ,very close to seaworld and the ocean as well.Free parking and Wifi as well is nice too!!!
