1I generally stay at Sheratons, but the other choices closer in to San Diego were understandably booked up. Having come down for a wedding at the Naval Base I wanted a reliable hotel I could use as my base and then travel to the wedding, then stay an extra couple days while in the area. However, this hotel is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Unless you have a car, there is absolutely nothing to do other than the pool. Even then, everything is a considerable drive. I would not recommend this hotel for families traveling with children, or who flew in. There is absolutely nothing within walking distance, and the hotel provides nothing other than the (very nice) pool. One night I ate at the restaurant, and in terms of value for money, it was not worth it. Again, if traveling with kids you would have to leave the premises. Additionally, although I was the only patron in the restaurant I had to wait for a menu, wait to have my order taken, and then sit with used plates. The hotel is also laid out most curiously. The door to the swimming pool is apparently a secret, since it says "Stairs" rather than "Pool", and only once one opens the door does the Pool sign become apparent. Same thing with the bar. The entrance is through a peculiar glass door which looks for all intents and purposes like someone's office. Outlets in my room did not work, and apparently they were "remodeling". Next time I will simply book earlier for one of the downtown hotels.
