9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,001 reviews)
Great location right by the beach. My kids enjoyed watching the sea lions which was walking distance. Although we didn’t get to use the on-suite kitchen and dining room, it was definitely a great setup for families. We also enjoyed the free breakfast. We will definitely come back next time when traveling to SD area.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (109 reviews)
All was wonderful. Have to say that after making reservations two months in advance m, I was a bit disappointed in where we were placed. I should have said something when we check in but once I got over what I was expecting, the room location was okay but the room itself was over the top. We will go again but be a bit more vocal in our room placement. But this place comes with our strong recommendation to stay.
