"This home was perfect for our family gathering over New Year's. The home is very comfortable..we had 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 5-16) and so we didn't want a sterile, showpiece house that we felt we couldn't be ourselves in. Cia and Charlie were excellent hosts, answered all our questions, and provided a lovely home. The many beautiful plants made it feel extra special."

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

San Diego Mission Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"As a resort-style hotel, the surrounding environment is fantastic! It also boasts convenient transportation, with almost everywhere accessible within a 20-minute drive. However, the soundproofing in the guest rooms leaves much to be desired; noise from adjacent rooms is audible. Since my room was near the main entrance, I was frequently woken up by the loud sound of the door opening and closing—despite having specifically requested a quiet room beforehand. I didn't ask to switch rooms because I only discovered the issue after fully unpacking for the night and didn't want the hassle, though I felt it was worth mentioning. Additionally, apart from the front desk staff, the service attitude of the other hotel employees was quite cold. Overall, setting these details aside, the hotel is decent, and the facilities are comprehensive and convenient."
