When we first pulled up I was a little worried because the buildings are pretty old, but I was pleasantlly surpirsed to see that everythign was very recently remodeled and in excellent shape. The property is beautiful and the pools are great. They have like 5 pools and 3 water slides all are heated. There was a zero depth entry pool that was great for my young daughter.
The staff were great and the service was very good. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and they were very accoomdodating.
We had two rooms in the tower facing the pools. During the week they were fine, but on the weekends we heard every sound from the peoople at the pool late at night. I was about ready to change rooms when I noticed things got quiet by Monday night. The rooms are very simple.....in good condition with flat screen TVs and balcoies and very comfortable beds and pillows. I only had two compliants besides all the noise from the pool area (which I'm listening to now as I type this).....there is not much storage and the thermostats are very inconsistent. We set both thermostats to 72 and one room was freezing cold while hte other one was really warm. The cold room wasn't hte problem....teh warm room we woudl have to set the thermostat to 60 to get it comfortable enough to sleep.
I walked as far as I could in each direction around the harbour and there isn't a single thing worth walking to and there is no where to eat off the hotel grounds besides a single hole in the wall restaurant. If you want to go anywhere you have to drive, which is pretty easy in San Diego, but I thought from the description of the hotel that the beach was only a few minutes away walking and that wasnt' the case.
For what we paid I thought it wa s good value. Just make sure you request to be opposite the pool if you don't want the noise and be prepared to drive everywhere.
