I asked for early check in initially was told 1-2pm I shopped up at 1:50 with no one at front desk maid said “room isn’t ready yet” I waited about 30 more minutes then she said the room was ready but we could not get the code on the door to work… maid wound up calling front desk who was “on lunch” to ask for the code. She called me and said “yeah it usually doesn’t work until 4” kinda implying it was my fault even though I asked for an early check in that was granted…. Then the second day in my toilet started making really weird LOUD bubbling noises and not flushing…. The air vent fan was also making super loud noises making it hard to sleep. Cute hotel, but probably won’t stay there again or recommend to others.

This place was amazing on one side you had the bay and the other side was the beach. The hotel itself was one of a kind. Pictures did it no justice as it was so much more Gorgeous in person. The amenities were amazing! I will definitely stay here every time I come to visit.

Best Kept Secret in SD!
This was hands down is one of the nicest places I have stayed at in Mission or Pacific Beach!! And I’ve been going to this destination vacation place for 35 years. Beautiful spacious room/s, modern, clean, safe, affordable $$, comfortable, quiet, near everything hotel was a pleasure to stay at. Nestled between the beach and the bay as advertised. I had the best of both! Except tons of parking- but honestly- that was never a problem either. We always came back and there were 1-2 spaces waiting for us. And in a place known for having little parking that was huge. Oh and check in / out was a breeze too! The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, can opener/ bottle opener, bar glasses/ set, silverware, serving utensils, glasses, cups bowls and plates. Dishwasher, coffee maker, college sized fridge with freezer, A/C and Heat if you needed it. My room also had a fire pit on the patio. My friend’s room had a 2-4 person hot tub!! All clean and in good working order too! I would absolutely recommend this hotel to a friend! And I have made plans to come back next year too! This is without a doubt my new favorite place to stay while in San Diego while at the Beach/ Bay!

Nice place - internet was horrible - if you plan on watching any tv - you won’t be able to for long. We had the “please make room” sign out for 2 days and nobody made the room. I won’t stay here again / nice place but the internet connection is too bad

Bathroom issues
Parking was rough. The toilet started leaking/flowing our last morning and flooded our bathroom and went into the living room. We had just woken up so we had to get out quick. The front desk guy was helpful and tried to soak the water. We never heard from management. My kids had to use the bathroom at a local coffee shop. Not entirely sure what happened. Kinda inconvenient.
