Perfect for a vacation where you spend time around. the whole SD area.
Pros:

The location is perfectly situated between the city of San Diego and Pacific Beach/La Jolla! Great recommendation.

Cons:

For our type of stay, there is nothing really we missed. If you want to spend more time at the resort you might miss some amenities.

Terrific family vacation. Booked 3 rooms. On the pool
Pros:

We rented a boat slip. Very convenient to put our boat in the water at Dana Marina and just go to the boat at our convenience.

Nice hotel but badly in need of a makeover
Pros:

Nice staff, easy to get to, location was nice

Cons:

Although location was nice, our water view room was mostly blocked by trees. The hotel is adjacent to a public park, so we woke to views of homeless sleeping in tents, and lots of garbage from the previous night parties. The rooms themselves were comfortable and large, but worn out and with mismatched and dated decor.

Super Hotel, großartiges angenehm temperiertes Pool
Pros:

Super Hotel vor allem mit Kindern. Das Pool ist sehr groß und hat eine angenehme Temperatur. Es gibt ein Restaurant, in dem man eine gute Auswahl an Speisen hat. Das Personal ist sehr nett. Die Lage direkt bei Seaworld ist phänomenal.
