A waterfront gem
Nice property and surrounding amenities. A persistent barking dog and loud conversations from other rooms was disturbing. Front desk personnel were superb. Friendly and very helpful.

Great spot on a budget
It was a great place to stay on a budget. It was clean and pretty big. The view of mission bay was nice and the pool and juccuzi was also very nice. They have a restaurants all day long and the customer service is also great.

The resort is very nice. Rooms are comfortable but a little dated. Need more servers for the Firefly restaurant outdoor seating.

Better B fit for 2nd floor
Carrying 200 lbs of luggage (4 suitcases) up a flight of stairs wasn’t fun for dad.

We had an issue with a party next to us until 4:30 am. Called the front desk for help 3 separate times and the person was rude and was no help. Had a cranky 7 year old up all night from the party next door. The check out at front desk did listen and apologize and give a discount which was appreciated but the time was already ruined. We almost packed up and left at 3 am it was so bad ….

Comfortable stay
Always a good stay here, only thing is I wish they wouldn’t charge for parking daily: it’s expensive daily charge and the rooms are already expensive.
