We have stayed at this property several times as it is conenient distance to all of the things we like to do: San Diego Zoo, Old Town, Little Italy, Seaport Village, USS Midway, Liberty Station, Balboa Park and easy access to the freeway for Coronado. We have two tweens and they loved the pool/ hot tub. The food at the Blue Wave Grill was really good! We had dinner there. We went elsewhere for breakfast just because of our plans for the day. Our room was clean and was perfect for us.
