Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious, with two fireplaces and cozy bedding, but the shared shower was inconvenient. The service was warm and friendly, although reaching them was a challenge. The location was convenient to San Diego attractions but noisy and smelly due to sewer issues. The dining experience was below average, while the facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and had great air conditioning which was perfect considering the California heat, but the promised stove was missing. The service was a mixed bag with some staff being delightful and friendly, although knowledge about the property varied. The location was beautiful, especially for exploring nearby San Diego, but being far away from everything could be a drawback. The dining experience was subpar, with food quality not meeting expectations.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The service was a mix; some were really friendly and helpful, while others lacked that warmth and assistance. The location was a bit isolated, far from attractions, making it less convenient for exploring nearby places. The dining experience wasn't the greatest, with subpar food quality on most days. On the bright side, the facilities were decent, offering the basics you'd expect during a stay.
