Hotel accommodated an early check in which was really nice. Hotel has a nice location, 1 block off of beach and right on mission bay. Room was in the tower and does show its age. Room had small kitchenette which was unexpected. Beds were comfortable and hotel was mostly quiet.

Nice resort, very family friendly. The rooms are a bit old though. The elevators in the tower were very slow too (there was usually a line of people waiting). That being said, the grounds were beautiful. We also really enjoyed the pool, location, and restaurant.

From the moment we walked in the resort we were greeted with smiles and every employee was so excited to see us! They let us check in a couple hours early and use their facilities while we waited. They stored our luggage the day we got there and when we checked out too while we walked around the area. I actually stayed here when i was a kid in the 80’s and didn’t realize it until i walked in and saw the parrots and the koi swimming ponds. It was a magical memory then and was today as well! Thank you for making another family memory for us!
