Absolutely awesome stay. Every single employee is thoughtful and caring. The cyber truck is so fun to ride around in. Nick and the other driver are a class act. It was a very nice breakfast with delicious coffee and a nice little convenience store to get bottled water etc. I’ll definitely stay there whenever I go to San Diego!!!

Disappointed

the cost was a lot more than we were originally quoted. We reserved 2 rooms with 2 queen size beds, but were given 1 king size bed and a foldout couch. However the shuttle service was EXCELLENT.

We had a request for a wake-up call which didn’t happen. Got a second call to the room about transit to the airport and told the clerk we are on the way down. We arrived 1 minute after the departure time and bus was gone. We asked the clerk now what and he just shrugged his shoulders. This was bitter everyone else was great.

I didn’t like the fact that I paid a parking fee without being told there was one. The lady at the front desk said she would refund it but I still got charged a hefty parking fee and surcharge for the room

Marine Corps Bootcamp

We drove to San Diego from MT for our son’s graduation from Marine Corps bootcamp. Our stay was comfortable and worth every penny. We all spent time in the heated pool to relax before retiring for the evening.
