Our stay was pleasant overall. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the room was clean. However, the bed could use replacing—it felt uneven and uncomfortable.

This was a mother/daughter trip in March 2026. I had never been to San Diego before and had no idea what to expect on any level. I was so pleasantly surprised to find this property was not only wonderfully, centrally located, but relatively isolated in its position on the wharf. We didn't have the budget for frills and this property was just what worked for us, and I would definitely return to this property.

Loved the water station. Hot tub was good temp. Breakfast was delicious! We especially enjoyed the manager’s special. The staff were accommodating and so friendly. My only complaint is the near constant presence of people trying to trick us into a time share.

The grounds were beautiful and the room was themed accordingly to the tropical vibe which we liked. The food and drinks were too expensive.
