Olympia Lodge
The location and price were excellent. We could walk to the beach. It is a bit dated and a little worn in places. Loved the clean comfy bed, the quiet and the natural surroundings. I would stay there again.

The staff was super friendly throughout the duration of are stay! The room was clean and comfortable one thing to consider is the noise but to be expected with the area so not an issue for us. Will definitely be back to this property!

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Diego
The rooms were cute and clean. Staff was very friendly and informative. My only complaint is the pool was small, I wish I would have looked it up before we booked, I would have preferred an outdoor pool in SoCal.

It was hot when we traveled so the room a/c struggled at times. The paper products where not high quality in the room. However the location and amenities are great and the room was clean and accommodating for my stay
