Pros:

Overall the property is BEAUTIFUL. Our room was really nice, the pool area is gorgeous and the entrance to the hotel is incredibly stunning at night - especially if you appreciate mid-century the Polynesian style and the tiki world,

Cons:

The beds were just…ok. Considering how nice the rest of the property was and the room price, I kind of expected something a little more comfortable. Also charging $3 for a coffee in the lobby also seemed a bit petty, again considering the room price.

My future hotel of choice for SD
Pros:

Resort-like experience. Everything you'd want: great staff, beautiful and clean amenities, wonderful landscaping, great rooms, excellent shared spaces. There is a pool with a bar and fire pit seating spaces in the middle of the property, landscaped like a tropical island. Just wonderful. They even have a pair of macaws that are outside most days. Located in Point Loma, you are pretty central to the city's best parts. It was quiet at night with peaceful surroundings and a city view from across the bay. For me, it's the best place to stay in SD.

We had a wonderful time. Would definitely go back.
Pros:

Beautiful property with a great location. Perfect for kids.

Cons:

Housekeeping did not restock coffee, but was able to get it from the front desk. It was a bit costly, but it is the middle of summer.

Great location!
Pros:

The location of the room was great. The front desk man was very kind.

Cons:

Our AC was out. When we called the front desk the guy was very nice, but his manager was trying to gaslight us by saying it was due to our windows being open which they were not. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Pros:

Many restaurants and coffee shops were walking distance. Water was close to take a nice walk.

Cons:

The parking was a little hard to get in and out of. We have a big truck and the lot is small. It’s also hard when other cars do not park correctly.

Good hotel
Pros:

This was our second stay here and this time we chose a junior suite. The rooms are a little tired but the staff are friendly and the tropical gardens well maintained. We only tried to use the pool once but it’s on the small side and was very crowded so we didn’t bother. Happy Hour in the bar disappointing with no atmosphere and little saving on the drink. For our wedding anniversary, had on meal in the restaurant, only us there. food good, service rather rushed.
