“The hotel's retro decor, inspired by 1960s San Diego surf culture, creates a distinct and playful atmosphere. I especially appreciate the year-round heated pool and hot tub, and the Waffle Spot's reputation for serving some of the city's best waffles is a major plus. It stands out as a family-friendly option near many of San Diego's main attractions.”
