We read the glowing reviews and settled on this property due to traveling with 2 young children, ages 4 and 7. We booked a 2 bedroom kids suite w/bunk beds. As the reviewer below stated, just pulling into the Hotel Circle area is disappointing. The hotel is built into a hillside on the I-8 frontage Rd. I was leary as we drove up the driveway! We received our kids suite as reserved for a whopping $208 a night - next to an elevator. We asked to move and were switched to another suite overlooking the freeway. The hallways leading to the rooms were dark and dingy. The carpets were dirty and the windows hadn't been washed for weeks. The bunk beds required that the guest make them up! Oh just what we wanted to do on our spring break vacation! The shower/tub area was dirty with mold/mildew. We were exhasuted from 2 days at Disneyland and were so looking forward to 3 days at the Residence Inn and San Diego area. We spent the night online looking into other options for lodging. We packed up and departed the hotel before 8am the next morning. We did not want to pay that kind of money for sub-par accomodations. Then at check out we were hit with the $6.00 parking fee. As if you had any choice in parking - did they expect us to park on the freeway?? We loved our next lodging choice and would highly recommend the Marriott Coronado Island Resort(please read my review of this property). We paid less and got so much more! A true 14 acre, lush, tropical resort overlooking the beautiful San Diego Bay - not the I-8 freeway! Don't waste a minute of your precious vacation time or money here!
