Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
During the transformation of this great resort there were the expected complaints about not getting the right room and general inconveniences but now things are finished the complaints have stopped. Words of warning from previous visitors: The location is not ideal for businessmen wanting to conduct business downtown. It is a convention hotel and as a result is perfect for attendees. Leisure travelers also found it a little out of the way but had to admit that the facilities were excellent and they spent more time here than they originally planned. If you want to tour the sights in and around San Diego many found it more economic to rent a car than to rely on taxis. Read our customer reviews?
