San Diego Mission Bay Resort
Location was great, the only reason I don’t give 5 stars is, the room need was not clean enough they were stains in the couch and on the rug, and room was a little smelly other then that place was great.

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar
The room was not spotless. We found a dirty tissue under our bed. The shower gel, shampoo and conditioner were empty. We like the hotel, the staff is pretty friendly. Please correct those issues. This is our second stay and will keep coming.
