I had a great time at the hotel in San Diego, which is situated in a picturesque location right by the marina and bay. The rooms were spacious and clean, making me feel right at home. While I loved the peaceful ambiance, the dining options left a bit to be desired, and I faced an unfortunate incident regarding noise from outside. Overall, it's a decent stay, but I think there's room for improvement in a few areas.
