Paradise Point Resort & Spa
The beds are not very comfortable. The food at barefoot could be much MUCH better especially for the price. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Pool was wonderful. The ability for food to be delivered to the pool was cool. I wish the poolside drinks were available in the afternoon.

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego
Air conditioner was not working properly. Got into the room and it was stuffy. The staff didn’t direct us to the rooms, so we were walking around until we asked. Staff wasn’t very helpful. The only staff that said a word was the parking attendants.

Loved the view of the harbor from bayfront balcony Our room was close to a very noisy elevator, other than that it was a great place to stay. Ryan at the front desk is a wonderful asset to your company. We will definitely return to this property
