Right on the beach with the pool overlooking the water. The partial ocean view was still amazing. The staff were all so helpful and kind. They were always smiling and giving their best. We also rented their bikes and rode around Mission Bay. Well worth the stay!

We liked this location, however, the room signed to us, the stopper in the bathtub broke, we couldn’t take bath, shower was ok! It is clean! The AC is old and was a bit noisy when it was on. Overall it was a good experience!

Great property right across the boardwalk from the beach. Even though it may be a little bit dated in spots they've really done a great job of keeping it very clean and an excellent shape. Great room for a great price if you like where it's located
