Everyone enjoyed the stay and the location.
Pros:

Staff worked until solving an issue for us that occurred at check in. The staff was welcoming. Breakfast area was clean. Food was good. The rooms were clean.

Cons:

There was a glitch of the hotel not receiving the funds through Booking.com. The staff and us as well were on hold for a length of time trying to get it fixed - we were all disconnected before the problem was solved. The supervisor was able to get back online and sort out the issue but it took us quite a bit of time and we had waiting toddlers and infant in the waiting room. But all worked out because of the awesome staff at the hotel.

Hotel needs improvement!
Pros:

Front desk staff were very friendly and we had a very quick check-in. Breakfast was great! Location was perfect to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo!

Cons:

The bed was ok but the pillows were horrible. If you are going to stay here bring your own! They were flat like a pancake. The bathroom had mold on the walls and the bathroom fan was not working. During our stay, the room had a stong musty odor. The condition of the room significantly impacted my ashma and breathing conditions. With the price we paid per night I don't think these conditions were acceptable.
