7.4/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were completely under construction but the location on Point Loma across the water was great, and the breakfast was tasty. However, the accommodations were overpriced for the provided facility.

Rooms

7.0

Despite being under construction, the rooms were very comfortable with a great view of Point Loma across the water.

Service

The service provided by Rebecca and Vania was exceptional. However, there was a mishap with the elevator, which was out of order during my stay. Despite this, I was very happy with the end result.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location is lovely with 2 pools catering to different needs, although it can be challenging at times. It's ideal if you want to be close to the airport or enjoy beautiful views of the bay. However, seating outside is limited to food areas only.

Dining

I enjoyed the dining experience overall, especially the fish and chips. However, there were some issues with the setup and timing of services after a wedding event.

Staying at the hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, especially with the giant tub in our suite. Morning coffee on the small veranda was a must-do, a real treat. The service, typical of a high-class establishment, was excellent, although the restaurant could be a bit slow at times. The location, perfect for our event, offered beautiful views of the marina and downtown San Diego. The dining experience, apart from a small delay with the morning order, was delicious, especially the pan-roasted beef tenderloin. The facilities were top-notch with great amenities for the whole family.
