Pros:

Pool is very clean. Staff is nice.
I liked they were putting more food at breakfast when it was almost gone.

Cons:

I didn’t like the tv in the room. Parking is bad for big cars. And the sofa bed is old. I didn’t get a crib as I requested for baby.

Pros:

Das Hotel hat schöne verhältnismäßig große Zimmer. Es war sehr sauber und dass Frühstück für amerikanische Verhältnisse sehr gut. Es gab eine Pancake Maschine. Kaffee und Tee gab es 24 Stunden lang. Die Lage zu Sea World ist perfekt.

Great place for the price!!
Pros:

Our room was clean, and comfortable! Breakfast was surprisingly great with lots of options!

Cons:

The walls are thin, we had bad neighbors who were allowing their kids to yell and run up and down the hallway at 11pm. Parking is also a tight fit.

Awesome. We will definitely visit again on our next trip.
Pros:

Staff were very attentive and friendly. Maziar was very kind and professional while helping us check in. Breakfast was good and the 24 hour tea and coffee station was a bonus! Housekeeping was amazing at tidying up our room and bringing us fresh towels daily. There was lots to do close by and mission bay was only a 8 minute drive.

Cons:

Parking was a little snug, but otherwise really close and convenient. The microwave in our room also didn’t work very well.
