As part of my monthly business travel to San Diego, I've stayed at this hotel three or four times previously. My past experiences, particularly during a period of construction, were excellent, with comfortable accommodations and great customer service. I attributed this to potentially lower occupancy during that time. However, my most recent stay was unfortunately subpar. Upon arriving at 2 PM, I was surprised to be charged a $50 early check-in fee, something I've never encountered during my previous stays, despite typically arriving between 1 PM and 3 PM. My room also had several issues: a noticeable orange stain on the sheets, a malfunctioning toilet, and a faulty air conditioner. I promptly brought these concerns to the staff's attention. While they did move me to a different room (not an upgrade) and waive the early check-in fee, I didn't feel this fully addressed the extent of the problems. Overall, I was thoroughly displeased with this stay and hope to see significant improvements in the future.

Loved this hotel on the marina! We had a room facing the water, and it was so peaceful — such a nice view to wake up to. The location is amazing, everything was clean, and the on-site restaurant was super convenient. The only downside was the early check-in fee. Standard check-in was at 4pm, but we were told our room was ready at 1pm — for an extra $25. Of course, we paid it since we were eager to settle in, and $25 isn’t a huge deal. Still, it would’ve been a thoughtful gesture to offer early check-in as a courtesy, especially when the room is already available. It would leave a lasting impression and make guests feel truly welcomed. Other than that, it was a beautiful, well-maintained hotel. I’d definitely stay again!
