The customer service was excellent!!! The location was perfect. My only complaint is that the rooms are kinda run down. I saw a few cockroaches inside the property, we had an old stain on the bedsheets and stains on the carpet. The pool was great for the kids. I don’t know if I would stay there again just because it was kinda gross. But, there is no other property on the harbor!

We had a good stay overall. The sliding door to patio was broken and we could not sleep with open door to get fresh air. The curtains were also hanging bu a thread...... Was disappointed with the breakfast. Have stayed there before several times and had graleat breakfast with eggs and some kind of protein....... thus time around the only option was waffles, bagels, bread.......

Beautiful location, excellent service

Location is suburb for those who are planning to visit San Diego or the ferry to Catalina Island. The marina area is a must to visit; wonderful for runners or guests to walk in the park. Staff is very courteous and helpful with travel planning. Highly recommend for a visit to many beautiful communities along the Pacific Coast Hgy.

It’s my understanding that this hotel is scheduled to be torn down so it looks like they’re doing the bare minimum to keep it up. However, you just can’t beat the location in the harbor and for that reason I would stay here again. Just be prepared to have to ask for towels at the hotel pool, which is actually quite nice and know that it’s pretty worn.

The staff were very friendly but the hotel is very much extremely dirty. Bed sheets had makeup stains, loud AC unit that makes it difficult to sleep at night. And worst thing there was hair on the shower walls. This hotels really needs a makeover and new carpets as well
