“Very Disappointing Stay”

Sep 12, 2025623loveit

I don't normally write reviews unless it is a really great experience. This resort was horrible. We made reservations for 3 rooms months in advance. One of the rooms was not available per our request and we had to pay for an upgrade (we did pay only a portion of the upgrade instead of the full amount). Two of the rooms were so dirty we called housekeeping when we first walked in to get clean sheets and towels. We ended up going to Target to buy cleaning supplies. One of the rooms smelled like urine. I realize this is a pet friendly hotel, but if you can't get the smell out of the room you need to figure it out. The weekend was spent trying to avoid the room! Drapes were filthy in all of the rooms. I had always wanted to stay here when it was a Hilton. When we could finally afford the time and expense it was no longer a Hilton, but we stayed here anyway. The restaurants on site did not have family friendly menus. The staff was great, and I wish them the best. But it is a shame you can't take care of a beautiful property like this one. Maybe management needs a wakeup call.

“Great Resort with excellent Staff”

The Resort has a great location to access all the things to do in San Diego but we never left the property because it has such a nice pool and beautiful views of the bay The staff is very accommodating and welcoming.
