We were originally booked for a staycation for 2 nights and had such a great time we extended it to 5 nights. Rudy, JP, and Anjelique at the front desk were incredible, attentive, and accommodating. While Evan at the pool bar, and Jave at the restaurant were great to us, even remembering our drink orders and how we like our coffee. The pool, bikes, fitness center and pool bars kept us having a great time while the suites with those comfortable beds that make you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud and the big tub to come back to each night made it hard to leave this place. The staff here was an nothing short of exemplary in the spirit of service, thank you and we will be back.

Got married here in 2023 as SD locals, and now that we live in another part of SoCal, we still make trips. It is a special place for us and if something isn't perfect, they do their best to make it so. Enrique and Joseph have assisted us directly during a few of our recent stays and make us feel like family. Thank you.

Hotel staff friendly and generous with their time, asked for special parking, no problem. Asked for late check out, no problem. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant experience.
