This hotel has made our trip absolutely amazing. If anyone has a son or daughter graduating from MCRD, this is the hotel for you! It is safe, clean and the staff is so helpful and friendly! Our favorite part was the shuttle. We would have been stuck in the line for ages had it not been for being dropped off right at the gate by them!!! For us, it was way less stressful than renting a car and driving in ourselves. We also used the airport shuttle and the one that drops you off at Old Towne. Overall, this was a stellar experience and the staff knows how to treat their guests! Way to go!

I want to thank Art who gave us the best treatment while staying for our Marines graduation this week. Check in was a breeze and very accommodating. The hotel shuttles were very convenient and safe. We will be back if ever in San Diego. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

Property is fine. Airport pick up is very slow. Mainly due to construction traffic but probably won’t stay again for that reason
