Bates Nut Farm

The hotel was okay overall, but unfortunately, I don’t think we would stay here again especially with kids. The air conditioning in our room didn’t work properly, so the room stayed uncomfortably hot throughout our stay. There also isn’t room service, and if you forget something or need something simple like silverware, you have to go down to the restaurant to get it. The restaurant staff, however, were absolutely wonderful and easily one of the highlights of our stay. We also rented a cabana, which I felt was disappointing for the $250 minimum spend. There were items left behind from the previous guests, and the chairs could definitely use some reupholstering. The pool itself is also quite small, especially when you have kids who want to swim and play. I will say that the property looks much more resort-like in the photos than it feels in person, so I found the pictures to be a little deceiving. If traveling without kids, it may be a different experience, but with a family, I would personally choose a more traditional resort-style property next time. It was great to be in walking distance of everything and have an awesome view of Petco park.

room was nice but hotel was definitely outdated and not kept in the best shape.
