Heater did not work until the night before departure. At the sink the hot water took 5 minutes to heat up. No housekeeping service on most days not unless you tell them. Ants on sink, tub, and nitestands in the evenings. Body wash was empty and didn’t replace it. Bathroom plastic cups didn’t replace any.

My son and I stayed 5 nights. We liked the hotel a lot. Very convenient location if you are going to Legoland. The Coaster (train) is only a 15 min walk. We used the Coaster to and from the airport and to Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. The breakfast at the hotel was great! They have a different menu ev day which is really nice. The hot tub and pool were amazing- especially after long days at the parks! I wojld definitely stay here again!

Very nice property close to the beach. Staff was friendly! Only thing was it got steamy in the room when someone was showering but having the window open was a good option to air it out.

This hotel was the best hotel i have visited in California in the last 10 years of me visiting. The staff was excellent. The hotel was spotless. The hotel room was clean, smelled good and the bed was very comfortable. The continental breakfast was A plus. The only thing i did not like was the pancakes tasted as if they were pre-made. I am so glad that i chose this hotel and i will definitely stay here again next year November. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY STAY SO ACCOMMODATING!
