The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park

Staff were super helpful and accommodating. Love this property.

The outside looks old and needs some attention but the inside was great.

The amenities are a shock when you walk through the front door…..wow factor Thousands of 6 to 15 year-old girls and their moms and costume suitcase pushing dads descended on the property for a dance convention. Apparently the fifth one in 2026. Girls turning cartwheels on the lawn, 25 10 -year-olds in the hot tub and the wait for the elevator to the rooms was awful. We ended up walking multiple times up and down for the fifth floor room. Certainly not what I had planned on spending $450 a night for. Before booking, call the hotel and see if there’s another on-site convention because you’ll want to book a different hotel if there is……. The amenities are nice, but can’t withstand all of those people all on the same schedule. The DJ is way too loud and way too close to the monkey bar that you can’t even have a conversation. The staff at the monkey bar are slow. Had to return to the front desk multiple times because they didn’t activate all of the room keys they gave us and they didn’t give us parking access on the keys. The rooms are a standard hotel room. Small and old if you are in the towers. Ours did not have a balcony and was the furthest walk from the main pool. There are dozens of service charges and taxes added to the bill for San Diego County and the hotel. I just cannot recommend this place for adults looking for a nice getaway.
