Location of hotel was great, away from congested areas in SD, but still close enough to several dining and shopping areas. Out room was clean, beds were comfortable. The pool was great, especially for evening or night swim. We had food for the restaurant onsite, it was delicious and good portions. Would definitely stay here again

The hotel is nice, a bit old in places (bathroom had peeling wallpaper). The onsite parking is very expensive at $28 a night, so we parked on a nearby road for free instead. A good sized pool and outdoor jacuzzi. The included breakfast buffet was good with lots of choice. The bedroom was a good size with comfy beds, the shower was not very powerful but shower gel etc were all provided free. An easy location to drive from and too, about 10/15 minutes drive to Del Mar and the beach.

This hotel is outdated . Floor tiles in bathroom worn and with spots , water pressure in sink very low ( good in shower ) , trims , doors poorly repainted. On the other hand , restaurant was nice . Breakfast ok , restaurant style with buffet quality. There is no coffee available throughout the day like some other hotels have . Staff very polite , Viktoriia was super helpful and nice. She was able to accommodate us before regular check in hours . They definitely need to invest some money into the rooms .
