My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms seemed somewhat clean, but the noise from traffic, parking, and shuttles was bothersome. The view of the unkempt roof wasn't pleasant. However, having a car was necessary, and paying for parking was a downside.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were a bit humid due to their location next to the service room, but the views facing NAS North Island and the harbor were impressive. The service, though exceptional, missed ordering my main course. The location was excellent, offering a picturesque getaway feel, but the helicopter practice noise from the nearby base was noticeable.

6.4/10

The hotel had a great location near the marina and downtown area, but the constant humming from the giant air conditioner outside was a drawback. The service was exceptional in ensuring guest security and convenience, yet the inconsistent pricing and poor management of extra charges left a negative impression. The dining experience, while in a beautiful setting, was expensive and lacked value for money. The facilities were adequate, but some key amenities were missing.

Rooms

6.0

The room had a view of a giant air conditioner that hummed 24/7, which was quite bothersome. The sounds from the marina added to the ambiance, but at times it felt like furniture was being moved all night. It was disappointing that there was no microwave available in the room.

Service

7.0

The service was top-notch, especially with the arrangements for airport transfers and guest parking security measures. However, the inconsistency in pricing and management's handling of charges detracted from an otherwise optimal stay.

Location

7.0

The location was good for accessing downtown and tourist attractions, but the proximity to the airport made it noisy. Being at the center of San Diego's main attractions was convenient, although the lack of nearby dining options was a downside.

Dining

5.0

Dining in the restaurant overlooking the harbor was a pleasant experience, but the prices were on the higher side without offering corresponding value. The limited options and issues with pricing affected the overall dining experience.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel's facilities were decent, offering the basics, but some essential amenities were missing. Overall, it provided a satisfactory experience without any standout features.
