First, I normally don't take the time to write reviews. But I wanted to for this hotel! My family and I were originally booked for three nights because I had never stayed at a CP. I had read the reviews and was a bit worried about the noise and the guests but thought I'd give them a try anyways. After... More

We stayed here for two nights, and I must say I was very pleased. Not only with the service and the friendliness of the staff, but it was very comfortable. The property is kept up beautifully. I would definitely stay here again. Very close to Old Town and not too far from the other attractions as well. We are frequent... More

Was pleased with over all stay. People were extremely nice (except one server in the restaurant) and helpful. Bed was the only disappointment. should be upgraded. Breakfast buffet was average at best, but was ample. Grounds were very clean. Beautiful landscaping and plantings through out. Also wasn't thrilled with the $12.00 per day parking.

What kind of hotel that does not offer free parking for customer. I read some review here and people claim they have free parking. However they DO NOT GIVE YOU FREE PARKING. it is 12$ per day If I knew they don't offer free parking I wouldn't stay here.

Dear MikeDelfin0, Thank you for your feedback. On the hotel website we do advertise the $12 parking fee. There are some exceptions for certain conference groups and Priority Club members that are Platinum/Gold that receive a discount on parking. The majority of the hotels in San Diego do have a parking fee while motels do not. We hope that your... More

I stayed here for 6 nights for a nearby conference, and was quite pleased with the experience. I was upgraded to the executive floor (free happy hour and continental breakfast included), which was a nice surprise. Rooms were good and quiet - the maids actually do not clean or disturb the guests on the exec floor until after 10 am,... More

This is not a good hotel. The crowd is sketchy, the restaurants are bad and staff inconsistent. Some of the front desk staff is great, one of the guys is terrible. Complaining the entire time we were checking in. Towels and sheets were stained and the carpet so filthy.

Stayed two nights pre-cruise. The AC in our room was broken. They sent someone to fix it but he didn't have the proper tools. After 2 hours, they decide to change our room. Overall, very chaotic process with the front desk not knowing how to handle the situation or their staff. I see their issue as being very unorganized, unstaffed... More

Terrible hotel. No free internet and no public computers to use. Breakfast not included, super expensive, and they don't tell you that it's not included. Far from the city and far from the closest lightrail station. Definitely not recommended.
