Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms despite a minor inconvenience of the ongoing room repairs. The location was great, offering a safe and quiet area with easy access to good restaurants. However, the service fell short with some unfriendly staff encounters.
The hotel rooms were large and very clean, although some had an awkward empty area making them feel a little cold. However, the lack of any decorations on the walls and a swampy smell was a downside. The service was great, friendly, and accommodating, except for a situation where they were apologetic but a bit late. The location provided a nice walk and was convenient to San Diego activities with a beautiful and relaxing feel. The dining experience was superb with lots of choices, but there was a negative change to an overpriced a la carte menu. The facilities were top-notch.
From the very moment I arrived on the property, I found the hotel's location to be great for the business I had to do. The rooms were pretty dated and not entirely clean, but they were clean enough and provided a comfortable stay. The service was wonderful with super nice staff, even though there were some noise issues. The dining options were very overpriced, but professional and friendly. Overall, a mixed experience with positive moments.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and spacious but in need of renovating. The service was great, with friendly and professional staff. The location was convenient, overlooking the harbor, but the dining experience was underwhelming. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms were comfy and well-decorated, but there were cleanliness issues like a ripped shower curtain and a damp, musty feeling. Moving to an upstairs room improved the experience. The service was described as marvelous, professional, engaging, and friendly, with wonderful nearby amenities on Shelter Island. The location offered convenience to various attractions in San Diego, though lacking privacy in some areas. The dining experience was praised for overlooking the bay but criticized for an overpriced menu and additional charges for services. Despite some downsides, the hotel had great facilities.
The hotel offers mixed experiences with its stunning views of San Diego Bay on one side and the marinas on the other, but falls short in delivering the promised tranquility as noise from above can be bothersome. Despite this, the room met basic needs with one standout exception, making for a somewhat satisfactory stay overall.
