Pros: Location, attentiveness to customer service. Has great rec room with movies to rent, ping-pong, and billiards. Room was spacious.
Cons: I wish we would have switched rooms to be away from the pool. We felt uncomfortable to have our drapes open, as well as turning up the volume of the tv at night so we wouldn't hear the pool guests.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and efficient. Everyone was courteous and greeted us with a smile. The location directly across the street from the beach was very nice.
Cons: The room was small, cramped and not very comfortable. Definitely needs updating, especially given the price point. The breakfast offered was pretty terrible and the entire facility (other than the lobby) doesn't appear to have seen any renovations in quite some time. I was surprised by the lack of quality accommodations, especially after having read so many glowing recommendations online via TripAdvisor.

Pros: The room was not good. We booked through booking.com and basically got the armpit of the hotel. We couldn't open the curtains because the room was basically in an odd stairwell location next to the pool. Very disappointing.
Cons: Kind of everything. The location of our room was awful for the high price.

Pros: Perfect! Perfect location, very close to everything! Perfect view, we had a corner room with balcony and perfect sunset view! Beds were soft and comfy. The people at the front desk were friendly, fun and very accommodating. Loved walking and checking out all the boutiques. There's a sidewalk along the street the length of the beach and a little beyond, perfect place to get your steps in. Local restaurants within walking distance. Everything you need right there! Just really enjoyed it and definitely plan on going back.

Pros: Great location right across the street from the beach! We loved that they even had a hot tub for children (and one for adults) as the temperature was adjusted for little ones. The best perk might've been all that the rec room had to offer from breakfast to pool to weekly activities planned out for the whole family. We had fun painting ceramic magnets and entering a puzzle competition. Lastly, the room was consistently cleaned quickly and early in the day. This is huge for us as a family with two young kids who still nap!
Cons: My only complaint was that our room had a mild odor to it probably due to water damage.

04-10-2016
Pros:
Cons: I have booked with booking.com and then go to the Hotel. The front desk said they received no information from booking.com. Then after half hour they said they received the booking but they have no rooms.
After waiting for them, they said we have to move room on the following day. They said only two different left. But in fact they have many. Then they put me to a one bed room which we booked for two queen beds. Then I complained they bring us down stair for two double bed room. The room was ok but then a lot of noise from the upstairs when people use the bath or toilet room. No sea view, just the four comer and the pool where many walk in and out. My family could not even sleep because of this noise. I complained to the front desk, they said the manager will come and talk to solve the problem. No body showed up and helped us. I did not have that much of time to keep going back and forth for the problem. It is not worth at all. Don't ever go to this hotel for any of your retreat trip. I am San Diego citizens.
