The view was the best part of the room. The heat wasn't working in my room. the temps in the room dropped to 56 degrees, (Have pictures of thermostat). When I spoke to staff about the issue, I received different answers depending on who I spoke to. The end result being the whole area was without heat, which I am pretty sure violates some code as the thermostat was inoperable. What was i offered? Not a new room, not a space heater but $50.00 off my total stay. Insulting!! Upon checkout asked for a manager, of course the info that was given to me about one was incorrect as per the usual with this place. Never spoke to one. Breakfast was horrible and I don't want to even get into the whole no hot water issue I had with the shower. There are hotels all along Cabrillo Blvd, pick somewhere else.

The location is good. The hotel needs a major overhaul. The walls and ceilings are paper thin and the bathrooms are OLD and pretty awful. There’s a lot of better options in the same area. Also, a day and a half with no hot water was a pretty unfortunate inconvenience.
