My boyfriend and I ventured to San Diego last weekend for one night and decided to hole up near the beach. The Catamaran looked like a decent hotel, so we booked it and headed down. When we first pulled up, it looked as we had thought it would, but upon walking into the lobby it appeared to be much more posh than expected. There were koi ponds with waterfalls, beautiful tile floors and dark wood trim and palms everywhere. There are several courtyards with great landscaping and more ponds and I kind of got lost in the first five minutes, but then found my way. The room was clean and had a small kitchen with stove and fridge, which was a pleasant suprise. There was also a couch and a big balcony. At this point things are looking up. So we went about our business in San Diego, turning in after a few drinks around 3am. At about 7am the noise began to our head's dismay. The walls must be made out of paper because I could hear a child as if they were actually in our room, screaming and running around. And everytime he jumped or anything, it sounded like a bulldozer coming through the wall. Finally they left for SeaWorld (as heard through their convo) and bam! Apparently construction was needed at 9am. It sounded like a jackhammer, though I never actually looked, but it lasted until 12pm, which was about the time we checked out. It was horrible. Like I said, it was a nice hotel, but I will never stay there again due to the noise.
