Great place but breakfast policy should be transparent.
Pros:

Great hotel and good value for money.

Cons:

My booking advertised free breakfast, and I booked for 3 guests. When I tried to have breakfast with my family, the staff informed me that only 1 breakfast was included. This was misleading and should have been clearly stated at the time of booking. Greater transparency regarding breakfast inclusions would help avoid confusion and disappointment for future guests.

Don't Expect The Best Experience
Pros:

Restaurant was convenient.

Cons:

The beds were hard. I had back problems every morning. Our trash was taken put twice and when we came back one afternoon, our room door was open. Luckily, nothing was stolen but that won't be the case if it happens again to someone else. Also, one time when they came to take towels, they left a whole pile by the bathroom and we also had to ask for more towels.

Great stay to end our 10-day vacation, touring SD.
Pros:

I loved the layout of the room, esp. the bathroom. Towels were easy to reach from the shower. I also liked the main room. Having the couch plus a chair at the table is so helpful. The bed was very comfortable. The A/C worked and was quiet. The Bistro was nice and we enjoyed that on the second morning, using our savings coupon.

Cons:

Even though the Bistro was available, we were used to having breakfast included. That's just a minor issue!

I love the hotel. I always stay here and will continue too.
Pros:

My favorite place to stay. Although they recently started implementing $8.99 daily parking fees.

Cons:

The parking situation. There is now a $8.99 daily parking fee.

Always great at this facility!
Pros:

This hotel does not offer free breakfast, they instead have a Starbucks on site and breakfast can be purchased, which was very good. We love that they have a bar at the location, and serve food from 5P-10P. Beautiful hotel, lobby and restaurant/bar area. The hotel is part of a 3-hotel cluster and indoor water park, and parking can be challenging at times, unfortunately. Yet this is the hotel I book time and time again when I'm in the area.

Cons:

It's a strange "get into, get out of" area, and not well marked. I would've expected more considering how busy that complex is.
