Nice stay as always
Pros:

I always like the pool and the pool bar here. The second room I got was much better and very large. It’s so nice that every room has a refrigerator and a microwave. The location is great. The lush atmosphere they created is also very nice. I like being right near the music venues as well.

Cons:

I had a bad room at first, and then they switched me to a nicer cleaner room that was bug free. Every room I’ve stayed in here has been clean and nice. I do wish the beds were more comfortable.

A great alternative to a Hawaiian hotel
Pros:

A great hotel with fabulous facilities. We booked a Junior suite that was a great sized room. Food in the restaurant was lovely. Lounge was available if we wanted it. Got a free bottle of wine from the hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Tropical gardens are beautiful

Cons:

Thw rooms could do with a refresh decoration wise. Dont like the $25 per night parking fee when you are already paying to stay at the hotel

Friendly, clean, great location, cosy, fun.
Pros:

Staff were really welcoming. The hotel was located in an amazing location. It was clean, and the beds were one of the comfiest I’ve ever stayed in; in a hotel. Rooms were cosy and super spacious. Loads of parking which was a huge bonus, loved the pool area and how they put movies on outside every evening for children to enjoy. This was a really special touch as our daughter loved this. Loved this hotel and when I return to San Diego in the future I would definitely stay here again as we really felt we were staying in a calm oasis.

I don’t think I got a good experience here enough to want to return.
Pros:

I haven’t commented on this hotel due to the fact that I would not return.
The bar staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Dated rooms, untidy and unclean stairways, not a great room / view for the price.
I asked for a different room got given a room by the back of the stage after a party which was cleaned up.
Staff on there were not very friendly.

Overall not a great experience.
