Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Staff was very nice. Open 24/7 for any questions and concerns. Room had good space (we had a Lanai room) so some chairs in the front to sit.

Best Western Seven Seas
Dated room. Silverfish in the bathroom. The floor was hot so I notified the front desk that they probably have a broken hot water pipe. I had it happen in my house when I lived in San Diego. Silverfish eat mold, which I am allergic to. I won’t be staying there again.

Sentral Gaslamp Quarter
Great location to petco park and if you want to take part in a big bar scene. Area is clean, otherwise quiet. Staff is very nice and helpful at the hotel.

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.
