Great location but old, outdated and dirty room.

+Location

Rooms are outdated. Carpet is filthy with many stains. Curtains are dirty and ripped. Beds are uncomfortable. Door to bathroom doesn’t close properly. Toilet doesn’t flush properly. Safe in room is locked. The kitchen has no utensils, pots, or any dish wares.

10.0Brandon· CoupleJun 2026

+The amenities were very nice and the property was clean and well kept the rooms were always cleaned by housekeeping with no hassle, valet was very efficient

I didn’t like how for the price of the rooms valet is not included for guests. For the price of a luxury hotel that should be included

10.0Michelle· CoupleMay 2026

+Loved the breakfast outside . Super choices!

Spa menu was unclear

10.0Karla· CoupleMay 2026

Overall great place and staff was wonderful, will visit again

+It was very nice and well kept

The only thing was valet parking. It could of been shortage of staff but when we arrived there was only 1 car ahead of us and the non busy valet person was just hanging around and never approached the car, I had to get off and go ask if he was valet and if they were in service and he was like yeah…

8.0Crystal· Family With ChildrenMay 2026

We stayed there to celebrate my granddaughter‘s San Diego State graduation. We paid for and reserved a bonfire with Bays

+It’s right on the beach and it’s very pretty like Hawaii

Not enough signs to tell you how to get to the lobby or to the beach

8.0Marcelo· Extended GroupApr 2026

Location and hotel resort

+Oceana restaurant, beach, pool.

Cleaning could be better and staff could be more helpful and friendly. Interaction with front desk was not as you expect from a resort
