This is a great choice if heading to San Diego and looking for convenience to Mission Beach. The resort is located a short walk to the main beach entrance, and has basically all of the amenities you could need if you choose to not step foot off the property. With a few different dining options, to include a convenient grab and go station just outside of the lobby, makes this also a great spot if looking to get up and get out early in the morning. Since it is a “redort” you get slapped with parking fees and resort fees, which drives up the cost. If you are not a family looking to do resort activities it may be best to look elsewhere because I really hate paying extra fees for activities my kids have no interest in participating in. But, if you want to get up and do yoga at sunrise or whatever, this may be your spot.We chose to stay here because of convenience and I usually start our road trip off in a nice place just to keep the kids from complaining. I deducted a star because for a resort that charges this much I would expect a hairdryer in the room and maybe some actual creamer instead of that powdered junk that comes in those obnoxiously crinkly packages waking everyone in the room just trying to get a subpar cup of coffee to start the morning. Overall, a solid choice, I probably would not stay here again if I was passing through with the family on an overnight, just because of the additional cost, but I would not “not”recommend it because it is a very lovely place.
