Alistair 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Great ROOM, Great Staff, Great Food in Restaurant.

Caitlin 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Amazing!

Pros: Loved the whole vibe! Loved the pool and hot tub overlooking the marina. Loved the size of the room and bathroom. Breakfast despite not being included was still amazing and the rental bikes offered by the hotel was a nice little touch. Hotel and restaurant staff were very helpful and friendly. All in all we had a wonderful experience.

Cons: The only thing was that one morning our breakfast card was not collected but it seemed to be a one off mistake and they were very apologetic so no biggy

Pros: Communication with the staff was great. Asked for a early check in and was answered very quickly. And got in early. Will definitely stay there when we are in san diego.

First class location

Pros: A fantastic location, close to the city and nearby attractions without the hassle and bustle of a city location. The island location gives views of the marina and bay on all sides which was a feast for the eyes in the day and a light show in the evening. Our room was light and spacious and kept immaculately clean by the housekeeping team.

Cons: The hotel is popular with locals at the weekend due to its bar and restaurant but seemed quieter during the week days. The kitchenette was equipped with a microwave, hob and fridge freezer but was limited to cups, glasses and a small amount of cutlery. There was no crockery or cooking equipment for the kitchen to be used to its full potential.
