My husband and I spent four nights at this old southern plantation style, charming and historic hotel along with our 8 and 11 year old grandchildren. We all loved it. We were on the second floor -- double queen, poolside room with lanai. I would say pool view with french doors was key to our overall enjoyment. The room was clean and large enough to comfortably accommodate the two queen beds, a sofa bed, large table, ergonomic chair, 6 drawer dresser, tv, microwave, coffeemaker, fridge, hairdryer, lots of lighting, blackout drapes, in-room thermostatically controlled heat/ac.worked very well, bathroom dated, but everything worked. Cable tv reception not the greatest, in-room internet access, free local calls, lots of parking including underground secure area (we did not use this, we parked outisde). We enjoyed the poolside patio option for enjoying the continental breakfast which was included in the room rate -- so great/easy/fast with the children. The olympic-sized swimming pool, with complimentary pool towels, of course, was a hit.-- It was hard to get the children motivated to leave to see the local attractions. The staff was always courteous and responsive. We felt this hotel was a bargain and would definitley stay here if our travel plans take us to San Diego again. Hotel location was easy for getting to all attractions and was quiet, unlike what we've heard about Hotel Circle--and such a nice change from the cookie-cutter hotels.
