Towards the end of our family vacation we went to San Diego for three nights and stayed here. The whole time leading up to this hotel the kids kept asking...when are we going to the bunk bed hotel. We have a six year old and a four year old. The added space and separate room was great. I will admit, I am a clean freak and this hotel was not the cleanest I have stayed in. But it was not anything that I had to call to the front desk about.
The "room" was two rooms separated by see through French doors, they had shear curtains on them, but it was limited privacy. You enter from an exterior corridor (there were some rooms "inside" the hotel, but ours was an outside one) and we had a king bed and it wasn't a huge room but had a large TV cabinet, fridge and microwave area. When you go through the French doors you are in the kids bunk bed room. There was another TV (thank you!) and a set of bunk beds and a cute kids table with two chairs. The kids went to work and set up all their toys they brought and had fun. It was also nice at the end of our long sightseeing days to relax in our own beds with our own TVs.
The large bathroom is through the kids room. So...you have to be a little quiet when using the bathroom if they are still sleeping, but I don't see how they could have re-done the floor plan. The bathroom door was a sliding one, but it locks and the features in the bathroom were nice. Lots of counter space for all our things and hooks to hang your clothes. There was a little half wall to shelter the toilet area.
I would definitely stay here again, like I said it wasn't too dirty to offend me, but when we walked through the inside corridor to go to the elevator it did smell musty. I am glad we had an exterior room.
The pool was very nice and the breakfast was well done. It was nice to see different options and not just the standard continental fare.
The lobby had a nice area with tea, coffee and apples (I think or bananas?) You do have to pay $8 a night for parking, but I found that cheap compared to the other hotels I was considering.
There are two hotels within two miles with very similar names, but this one is so close to a wonderful shopping area! We went to that target every day as we started to run low on clothes at the end of our trip. Also lots of great restaurants in that plaza. We ate at Sammy's Pizza one night and had a wonderful dinner.
It takes a lot for me to rate something more than average, but it is a 3.5 or so I would say.
