    We booked the suite room and it was exactly what we needed and wanted. The space was big, clean, modern, has a fully functional kitchen, hotel facilities were great, safe location, little Italy and the trolley station were only a few minutes walk, near the airport, downtown San Diego, and seaport village, family friendly place. We will book here again when we come back to San Diego.

    The resort location was excellent, the area of bay immediately outside the property was perfect for families with children. They also had several activities that the kids enjoyed i.e. movie night, crafts, daily "meet the parrots". The pool area was great too. When we did have meals at the resort we were always seated straight away, they offered a children's menu and the Morays bar will make a "Shirley Temple" for kids at request.

    This is great for family vacations. It has multiple pools so it never felt crowded. The breakfast at Barefoot on the Beach was terrific. Although we did not take advantage of it, I saw other families enjoying the bonfire pits on the sand at the bay. We definitely intend to do that on our next visit. The staff was very friendly - front desk; cleaning; maintenance; restaurant - everyone said hello and was accommodating.

    Nice location just in the heart of Little Italy, full of restaurants, bars, shops next too. You don't need to check other district you have everything you need here.:-) It's very animated night life, music, people. The location is much cleaner and more confortable than Gaslamp, but still is a lot of fun, but more family style with dogs and kids. You can walk to the ancient boats from the hotel. Hotel is very cosy with a nice patio. Price was good. There is a coffee bar just in the hotel. Nice view from the window.
