The light breakfast was very good - especially liked the fresh fruit plate and yogurt. The outdoor courtyard area is quiet and pleasant and the Friday evening 'Happy Hour' with wine, cheese and fruit was a nice surprise! The staff were all extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. Sorry I didn't get any of their names but all, including the cleaning staff, were lovely.

Well in Europe when you see 2 stars hotel you don't have high expectations. But in this case we felt here better than in the 5 stars hotel we were staying in Las Vegas. I am not an often traveler to US and have chosen very carefully the location and it was top. Next to the ocean, were I could jog in the morning and walk in the evenings, safe and with one of the best restaurants in the San Diego area. The room was like new and very comfortable, equipped with everything we needed including complimentary expresso in our room. The service was outstanding and every morning we used the expresso machine at the reception - again free of charge and there were good options for a lights breakfast, for a very reasonable price. Staff was very polite and helpful. Yes there is a train passing nearby, but it was not noisy at nights. Free parking at the property was very comfortable also.

    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.
