Positive Reviews
positive:
"Above and beyond" customer service..
The hospitality staff have earned many rave reviews for their customer service. Guests are impressed by their willingness to "go out of their way" to ensure a pleasant visit, whether that means printing coupons for area attractions, recommending restaurants, or loaning out small personal items, such as their cell phone chargers. Guests also appreciate that the hotel's complimentary shuttle has a five-mile radius.
positive:
Clean, comfortable rooms..
Guests often describe the rooms as spacious and sparkling clean, with comfortable beds and well equipped kitchens. The grounds are often described as "like a resort", with a well-kept outdoor pool, hot tub, and fire pits with comfortable seating around them.
positive:
Convenient yet "tucked away" location..
Guest often comment that the hotel's location feels pleasantly "tucked away" but is actually conveniently close to several freeways, making travel south to San Diego or north to Legoland simple and straightforward. Most of the attractions in San Diego are within 20-40 minutes depending on traffic. The beach at Torrey Pines, arguably the area's nicest, is very close by. La Jolla and Del Mar are also within a short drive.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Getting a little old..
The furnishings are increasingly described as worn, and the decor as dated. Some have also reported that the bedding should be replaced.
negative:
Light sleepers, take note..
A few guests could overhear their neighbors speaking at a normal volume, while others were kept awake at night by noisy air conditioning.
negative:
Studios aren't very "suite"..
Some guests are disappointed to be assigned a studio suite, particularly in the lack of space and separation between the bedroom and living area. The placement of the vanity and sink outside the bathroom is also a source of irritation, as the sound of running water can be enough to wake a sleeping child or spouse.
