Be careful you get the room you book online with Expedia. Reserved a King Garden room, first hit dbl Queen looking at the parking structure. When I questioned this, they said they were sold out and only had same room facing the family Pool.

Meal options at a decent price were not existent. $19 Avacado Toast!!!! Give me a break! Check in time was 4pm, we arrived a little early hoping to get in and couldn't but that wasn't a problem. The problem was, the front staff told me I would receive a text letting us know the room was ready, well, 5pm rolled around and no text came. I had to walk all the way back to the front desk with out bags to see if it was actually ready which it was.

Great location and fantastic on-site beach area in Mission Bay. Pool wasn't well maintained and understaffed, but when you're across the street from a great beach, why are you at the pool? Restaurants were super pricey, so I recommend walking to one of the several restaurants close by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

We felt like the property was located in an area that was close to everything we were doing in San Diego during our time there. The hotel was quite noisy, but sometimes you just get next to someone is louder than others overall it was a great location.

I have always wanted to stay here. I was let down. They have high prices do you expect the service to be great. None of the staff smiled or were friendly. In day two I asked them to clean our room and they didn’t. We ate at both restaurants and the food was ok. The area was nice though and I loved how walkable everything was. I just felt like it was mediocre service and food for the price.
