Pros:

Room was well equipped, shower was excellent

Cons:

Motel style layout meant stay was quite noisy with people walking past window, people up late, could hear neighbors and cars early in the morning, so not a great sleep

Pros:

Struttura bellissima, camera molto spaziosa e silenziosa. Purtroppo ci siamo fermati solo una notta per spezzare il lungo viaggio in auto da San Francisco a San Diego.

This hotel was an excellent selection, we had a great time and felt very comfortable during our stay
Pros:

Hector at the front desk was incredibly helpful and welcoming. He maintained a consistently positive attitude and did an outstanding job. Our room was beautiful, and we had a very pleasant stay. The hotel’s location is excellent, convenient and centrally located.

Cons:

We noticed a mild bathroom odor that felt more like an internal plumbing/drain issue than a cleaning concern.

Pros:

The scenery, the cleanliness, the responsiveness, room service etc were really nice. The amenities were descent and the staff had overall good attitudes.

Cons:

It wasn't the most huge deal but the TV was a bit wonky with only 2 possible apps, but this was minor as we were outside a lot of the time.
