"WATCH OUT FOR THE RESORT FEE! Wow... I booked this hotel on Expedia and when I checked out... surprise... surpise... a $44 per night "resort fee" was quietly charged to my credit card. Nobody explained this at check-in.
The hotel is very reasonably priced, but I didn't like getting hit with the resort fee afterwards.
The hotel is beautiful and the amenities are wonderful and the rooms are great, but it leaves a bad taste.
The restaurants are overpriced and "mid" while the items they sell in the store are not widely appealing.
I love that they have an electric vehicle shuttle bus to and from the airport. But the hotel is so isolated, you either have to do an hour long walk to get to downtown or take an Uber, which cuts into the savings.
I wish there was some kind of shuttle or public transportation that would get you from the hotel to downtown or marina.
So bascially, it's a hotel of trade-offs, it's nice and luxurious with great amenities, but you're far away from dining and shopping options. I did like the adults only pool. But the sneaky RESORT FEE?!? NO! 😡
It would've rented a car but the hotel charges $55 per night for parking. The car rental is only $26 per day, but you have to pay nearly triple in that for parking?!? Makes zero sense...
I tried to call to dispute the Resort fee and I got a voicemail. I doubt they'll ever call me back.
Most of the San Diego hotels do this resort fee scam. BEWARE!!!
PS - The ducks in the swimming pool were cool"
