Service was good. Rooms were clean. They had a fridge in room but the microwave was outside the room by the workout room we had to wait in line one time. Beds were too firm. We were on 1st floor so people above us had kids lots of bumping. Bus 88 right in the front if you didn’t rent a car. Not far from Airport, Mission beach, downtown, San Diego beach and Sea World. 2 restaurants on site but beware of times open. The Mexican restaurant not open everyday or all day Waffle restaurant only open from 7-1pm.

The restroom is really tiny, the sink specifically was soooo tiny and way off to the left that it caused a lot of mess with water. To brush your teeth or wash your face it would create such a spillage of water. However, aside from the tiny sink the pool and jacuzzi were nice, the area was nice, and the hospitality was nice. It was also very clean, would stay again, my only complaint is the tiny sink.
