This hotel is amazing for MCRD SD graduation needs. They were very welcoming and top notch service from the hotel, its shuttle drivers and making you feel welcome and they were just as proud of the new marines as the families. Highly recommend staying here. They took care of us and it was a lot of people and never once saw a fault.

The hotel is in a very good location, more than 10 minutes away from San Diego Airport. The shuttle bus service provided by the hotel is very convenient. It is very convenient to go to attractions, restaurants and the airport. The buffet breakfast is also good.

Very satisfied, recommended

Stayed here twice. It's very close to the airport. The breakfast is average. The room is clean, but there is no water. You may be given water. Different front desks have different treatments. If you happen to check in early, it's better.

I had a great stay. I asked to have a room near a family and they were very accommodating.
28.04.2018 Katie
Upon entering it came off really nice. We came in late so when they gave us a room that was a level lower than the lobby I thought nothing of it. I was reminded of where we were put when very early in the morning there was none stop banging, sound of feet running, and dropping things. It was constant. We first thought it was another rude guest above us with their children, but realized we were below the lobby. Stay far away if you want to sleep in enough to at least have the sun coming up. Also I found it kind of ironic that I made fun of their sign for a complimentary sleep-help kit and ended up wishing I had asked for it. Probably comes with earbuds.

Great place. Stayed one night here. Close to everything. Walked to dinner and around the shops. They Offer a shuttle to the airport every hour which was very helpful our drivers Freed and nafwal. Front desk Staff Ivan and Eddie were great.
