I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, especially appreciating the ground floor room with a view of the park which was perfect for my son to play outside. The service was warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. The location was great too, just a stone's throw from Seaworld where we enjoyed the fireworks display in the evenings. While the dining options were a bit limited, I appreciated the half-price breakfast deal for guests.

My stay at the hotel was mostly enjoyable, with clean rooms and a great location near many activities on Mission Bay. The service was helpful and friendly, making my experience even better. However, the dining options left a lot to be desired, particularly in terms of price and variety. Overall, while there were some positives, I think there could be improvements in both the dining experience and the room refreshment.

The hotel had a great location, perfect for attending a special event. The rooms were clean and newly decorated with a lovely view, making for a comfortable stay. The service was excellent, with friendly staff, but I felt the price didn’t fully match the quality, especially considering I expected more given the $500 a night rate. While my overall experience was enjoyable, the dining options were a bit pricey, which was a drawback.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, although a bit run-down and not exactly what I expected from the pictures, were comfortable enough for our needs. The service was exceptional, with incredibly helpful staff who made our stay enjoyable. The location overlooking the bay was beautiful, and the nearby activities were a plus. However, I was a bit disappointed with the dining options, especially the pricey buffet. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but with some areas needing improvement.

The location is excellent, being so close to the bay and perfect for families, but the rooms were smaller and a bit dated, which was disappointing given the price. The service was friendly but lacked attentiveness at times. Dining was pricey and not as convenient as I'd hoped, especially for early outings.
