8.4/10 Very Good! (1,627 reviews)
The hotel is central to everything. We were in walking distance to the gaslamp, seaport, restaurants, etc.. They had a water fill-up station which saved us money from purchasing water bottles. The room needed a deep cleaning. The furniture was dusty and the phone was dirty. The TV would often need to be reset. It's an older hotel and they plan to renovate to bring some of the amenities up to date. Our stay was quiet and peaceful. Please do not knock on the door early in the morning multiple times to refresh the room if no one answers. We need rest. The staff were available to ask questions but didn't ask about our stay. Overall, my stay was average.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,677 reviews)
Clean room, great location, helpful staff. We had a small issue with the blanket in the closet and was brought a fresh one right away. Beds are very comfy. Their pool is very welcoming and warm. Beach is just steps away which was the best part. We had a balcony side ocean view which was perfect. Wish they had rooms facing beach but i think they where booked. Lots of restaurants to choose for any kind of dining within walking distence. Easy parking. Definitely will be going back!
