We were so impressed with this entire facility! At check-in, I was genuinely greeted and filled in on the hotel. There was a bit of construction occurred in the parking lot but it was still easy for hubby to find a street level parking space.
THE ROOM - Our room was on the second floor and faced the parking lot which faces the San Diego bay. There was a beautiful sail boat anchored in the bay which was perfectly centered by the window from our room's deck...perfect! The rooms are quite large for San Diego with areas for dining, working, watching TV and sleeping. The building is older but the room was super clean and well maintained. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet...what more could we ask for! One disappointment was the odd smell on the deck in the morning - not sure if it was coming from the room heater which we had turned on or just something else...
THE SERVICE - From check-in to check-out, we were floored by how sincerely helpful and concerned everyone was. We stopped in for Happy Hour and the bartender was also waiting on tables on the outside deck...boy has she got energy and a great attitude! I had one of the best martinis ever and the pours were generous.
THE FOOD - We only tried appetizers as had plans for the evening and we will definitely be back. The Coconut Shrimp was not the usual small, over cooked and under sweet disappointment I am used to...instead the shrimp were quite over sized, perfectly cooked and sweet enough to be eaten without a sauce. Hubby tried several times to steal one after I shared a bite with him. The jalapeno orange dressing was a bit bitter and not sweet enough for the shrimp so I just left it alone. Hubby tried the Pork Sliders and was also very pleased.
We also tried the complementary breakfast which was loaded with pastries, fruit, breakfast meats, scrambled eggs and more. It was a special treat for us as we usually just have a protein shake in the morning.
I think we have found our home away from home when needing a "stay-cation" close to home - we will definitely return!
