8/10 Good
"The staff are excellent, especially behind the front desk went out of there way to help had a group of 7 showed up early stored are luggage safely behind the counter and found us a nice restaurant for lunch. The hotel was recently remodeled so they are still working out some of the kinks that didn't get finished, the pool and hot tub are nice, the exercise room could use updated equipment and another tread mill but it got the job done, my only complaint is towels are too small and they don't clean the bathrooms everyday you have to call."

10/10 Excellent
"Checked in after a concert in Mission Bay and the man at the desk was very nice and helpful. Room was clean ( I love that more and more hotels are ditching the old gross carpet!), spacious, and comfortable. The main lot in front of the rooms was pretty cramped but there's a side lot with more room. We felt safe, and despite being very close to the freeway did not notice any freeway noise at all. The free breakfast was definitely lacking(as these kinds of things normally are), but, I was able to grab some coffee for me and some juice for the kid at least."
