"The hotel is walking distance to many stores and restaurants, plus the Pechanga arena. It would be nice if the rooms had an extra table to put belongings on, plus a clothes rack to hang clothes. Other than that, it was nice and will return."

"Overall we had a great stay cause the location was convenient to Sea World and zoo. Lots of time spent in the pool. Loved that we could order food poolside. Our server, Daniel, was excellent. We were also close to good dining options within 5-10min drive. However, our room was not so great. Literally a layer of dust on TV media stand that we could see as soon we entered the room cause it’s black and the sun was hitting it at that hour. Bathroom sink and counter was also dusty/dirty. So I spent the first 15 minutes in the room wiping things down before we could settle in. All of the common areas of the property are maintained well and look very welcoming but the pool cleanliness needs improvement! The kiddy pool was disgusting, knots of hair balls along the splash deck where you enter, and it smelled like piss - not exaggerating. I got my kid out of there ASAP. People obviously were not adhering to the swim diaper rules hotel had posted up beside it. I know cause I saw babies in there without diapers. On the left side of the main pool by the steps was always murky with clouds of sunscreen, hair, and bugs. I’m guessing they only clean the pool once a day by the looks of it. One major thing to point out is they offer resort day passes so the pool becomes a $hit$how, which sucks for hotel guests who are paying for full accommodations to have to deal with day rate riff raff. All of the staff we encountered were lovely. Would we stay again? Not if a better option opened."

"Front desk staff were lovely. I’m a returning customer and I will most definitely be returning again! The facilities, rooms, in room coffee, shower pressure, mattress and pillows were wonderful! The pool is saltwater and (I believe) heated. It was hot so I’m not 100 percent sure. It really was a comfortable and restful stay."

"I choose this property because it was “out of town” and I was worried about homeless and theft. Little did I know there is NO escaping the homeless in San Diego and the park 5 mins away was completely filled with Homeless and RV homeless too. However, the hotel did a Great Job of keeping them off property as well as the many cockroaches we saw by trolley tracks. Very well kept even with an abandoned lot adjacent. They have a really nice breakfast room with decent offerings and a really nice pool and hot tub we took advantage of each night. Hot tub does need to be redone but works great. Took the trolly to downtown several times. Scary. lol. But NO ISSUES. Hotel is in a residential area. I would recommend. Quiet all night"
