This hotel tries so hard to be a 4 star hotel and resort. It is not! Don't get me wrong the property has plenty of worth while amenities, however as far as San Diego (Pacific Beach) goes, you can get much more for your dollar down by the ocean. The bay is somewhat dirty and not very appealing to the eye. It is very overpriced, especially the restaurants and the room service. Cost $65 for breakfast in our room the first night there for two people. Furthermore, the location is horrible, unless you plan to stay only at the property. There isn't anything within reasonable walking distance. So you have 2 options, rent a car or take taxi's. Well, its $32 a day just to park at the property. Taxi service just to PB down by the ocean costs $20 a way, downtown costs $32 a way and down to the harbor is about $29 a way. So if you plan on doing activities plan on some travel or parking money!! Now, if you do decide to stay there, find Marlon the bell hop. He has plenty of information as to where to go and he is a great guide of the property. If it wasn't for him taking us around the property and showing us everything we would have had no idea some of it was there!! All in all it isn't a horrible place it's just not the best value in the area. There are plenty of better options down by the ocean.
