San Diego Mission Bay Resort
Wading pool for little ones, bigger pool for adults. Onsite yoga, but be sure you check where it will be held; it moves around. The staff is excellent, checking in via text to make sure you have everything you need. Just one front desk person was a bit off-putting. She seemed annoyed by questions. ...

Handlery Hotel
The rooms were very clean and well kept for an older property. The staff were great. The outdoor pool was larger than most places I have stayed in. Main issue was they had a restaurant but it closed and your only choice was the pool bar with a very small menu.

Best Western Seven Seas
Good location, clean. Room OK, little dated, but good retro look. Fairly firm bed was key. Safe for securing items would be nice. Staff friendly.
