The hotel is situated conveniently near the racetrack and offers easy access to various attractions in San Diego. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the musty odor was disappointing. The proximity to activities is a highlight, but the ongoing renovations and lack of pool amenities detracted from the overall experience.

I had a great experience at this resort, offering a perfect location close to San Diego's attractions, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The pool renovations were in progress during my stay, but I enjoyed my time there before they started. However, while the location was a highlight, I faced some cleanliness issues that need improvement. Overall, it has the potential to be a fantastic getaway if the management focuses on upkeep.

I had a lovely experience at this resort, located conveniently near Solana Beach and the Del Mar Racetrack. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. I found the service overall to be accommodating, though there were some inconsistencies with housekeeping. The location was perfect for exploring nearby attractions, but the dining options could be more diverse. It's worth noting some facilities are under renovation currently.

My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall, with clean and updated rooms and a great family-friendly atmosphere. The pool area was a hit with families, but it was a bit noisy in the mornings due to the kids and housekeepers starting their day early. Although the convenience of a shuttle to Del Mar Race Track for just $2 was a nice touch, I found the dining options to be limited. Given these factors, the hotel offers decent value for a family getaway, but be prepared for some early morning commotion.
