Lemon Grove Holidays from £885

We recently stayed at the Hyatt Vacation Club for 5 nights and overall had a good experience, but it started off rough. Check-in was a nightmare—we had to wait over 1.5 hours before we finally got our room. The front desk couldn’t even give us a time estimate for when our room would be ready, which was incredibly frustrating. We probably would’ve waited even longer if I hadn’t spoken to a manager. As soon as I did, the room was suddenly available—something that didn’t sit well with us. That said, once we got settled, the resort itself was beautiful. The property is well-kept and relaxing. Our room was spacious and comfortable, which made a big difference for our family. The restaurant food was just okay—not great, but decent. The real highlight was the variety of family-friendly activities. We had a great time doing the escape room and going fishing together—it definitely added to the experience. Despite the frustrating check-in, we ended up having a nice stay. Just be aware that you might need to be persistent to get things moving.

It’s an old hotel. Guest shouldn’t have high expectations. It is a bit dark and musky they are obviously working on upgrading but otherwise my stay was fine. I got a standard queen bed room and it was small but was sufficient for my travel.

The hotel and grounds are amazing. Its proximity to the shore is determined by the room you choose. We chose a less expensive room, however, due to a mix-up, we were provided with a wonderfully large room overlooking the ocean. I was impressed with the kindness shown by the staff and the amenities provided.

Great location in the Gaslamp district near Petco Park. Very walkable and lots of spots to eat nearby. Bathroom could use a refresh. TV service was spotty at night.
