Decent for a Best Western
The room is really small/tight and the beds were not comfortable at all. Our shower leaked horribly and soaked the bathroom. The room was definitely in need of some upkeep. The hotel lobby was really nice and the villa type setup is cute. The view from the room of the marina was really pretty. The restaurant and bartender were a nice addition!

I loved this property but I would suggest staff do a better job at informing customers about amenities. I found out the last day about the coffee in lobby in the morning. We discovered, by chance, there were 2 pools and hot tubs. It would also be nice to know what eating places were around and their specialty.

San Diego Staycation
Our second time staying here for a holiday getaway. We had issues in the first room assigned as there were bugs all over the bathroom and bedroom area as well. They switched us to a second room and it was clean and comfy and bug free. The views of the marina are great no matter where you stay. Front desk clerk at both check in and check out were friendly. Other than the hiccup with the first room it was another great stay.
