The hotel had spacious and cozy rooms, clean and modern, albeit sparsely decorated except for one giant fish above the bed, giving a unique touch. The service at the Golf Course was incredibly helpful and friendly, making my stay even more enjoyable. The location was convenient to explore San Diego and surrounding areas, with fabulous dining options at the on-site restaurant Decoy. However, don't be fooled by the man-made lake on the property. The overall price was reasonable for the value received.

I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms were always sparkling thanks to the hard-working staff, and the great coffee and daily newspaper made for a perfect start to my day. The service was incredibly helpful and amazing, especially from the housekeeping staff. The location was superb, with two pools, fire pits, and plenty of lounging areas. While the foam beds were not the best, the overall experience was great and makes me want to come back again.
