Staff was friendly and check in went smoothly. Parking was easy. Layout of room was somewhat inconvenient as bed was butted up against the wall. Wall paper was peeling rooms could,use a c good renovation. We were staying in the tower. Ground wet well kept and very tropical. I wouldn’t recommend this location to anyone.

No matter what you pay for the room, expect an extra $100 per day with resort fees/parking, tax. Having said that, I would absolutely stay here again. The staff is very friendly and helpful - which is a sign that they are treated well by management! Which is HUGE in my book. The rooms were fine, the location excellent, the grounds beautiful. I can't wait to go back! Especially to see "Arlow" - the resort cat!!

Thanksgiving on beautiful Mission Bay!
Everything was wonderful. Loved the hotel, location, restaurant! We will be back for sure! (Hopefully though the 2nd elevator gets fixed! It was a long wait , and being on the 9th floor it was a few too many levels to use stairs).

I had stayed at this property 20 years ago and was excited to go back. Unfortunately the hotel is very run down. Part of the hotel was out of hot water, the rooms smelled old and musty and the overall property felt dirty. The worst part is - when checking out, the property charges you a $44 fee per night; this is not mentioned in the total cost when reserving online. This was an unexpected $200 cost.

We liked the location, grounds, staff and facilities overall. The heated pool and free arcade was a big hit for our 9yo and the short walk to the beach boardwalk and restaurants was great. However, the room in the tower was outdated and below the level of quality we expected given the price. Sticky surfaces, questionable carpet cleanliness, broken patio door, barely usable kitchen, broken hot water, broken elevator…more “dorm” feeling than resort.

Everything was great, with the exception of the musty smell in the room. The smell never went away because each and every time you enter the room the musty smell is unmistakably pronounced. However, you’ll get “nose blind” to the smell the longer you are in the room. We were upgraded to the room we were in which looks recently renovated. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself and the grounds looked clean and well maintained.

The room was filthy when we arrived. Black handprints all over the bath towels hanging in the shower area and dirty carpet and entry way with food strewn along the sidewalks. The place is tired and the location is good. Not worth the money if you are looking for nice clean accommodations.
