"First time here. Older place, built in the 80's, so it is a bit out dated in terms of the overall design. Rooms were not ready at check-in which was at 4pm. Not due to overbooking or being overly busy, but general housekeeping times. Didn't get in to the room til close to 5pm. Good thing the wife and kiddo were able to access the pool while waiting. Front Desk staff were a bit stressed and not so jovial. There are about 5 pools onsite, 3 out of the 5 were packed, but the one up on the mountain near the owners lounge was clean and spacious. There is another pool near the fishing pond that was not crowded at all and had an uncrowded recreation area. Canyon Grille restaurant was decent but not great. Over priced for the quality. I ordered food for pick up one evening and while waiting, 4 waitresses + a manager were complaining so much in front of me and other guests about their serving areas. Fishing was a fun activity and very unique. I had a great time with my little one fishing. No bites, but the experience and memories is what it's about. Lastly, if you have to work at all during your trip, the WIFI is awful. No reception and very slow. Wife had to go to San Marcos to a Starbucks for a quick zoom meeting. For the price point, it was ok. TBH, I would rather spend the extra $ and head over to our usual MarBrisa in Carlsbad. Better amenities, area restaurants, cleaner and less crowded pools, close to Legoland with its own back entrance, and staff is always nice and upbeat. "

"Breakfast was an issue. Understaffed and did not replace items when they ran out. Only 1 out of 3 Breakfasts was without issue. Pool was fabulous. Checkin staff were excellent."

"Staff was very friendly and helpfull. Very clean. Enjoyed our stay. "

"Very convenient property and staff is nice. We love the food court, it’s only 6 min from Lego land and six min from the beach. Second year staying here for spring break"

"clean rooms and area, little smaller than expected but very good management staff and nice pool. the Del Mar area is lovely too"

"Quality of breakfast has gone down. I made a reservation for breakfast and ended waiting in line for 20 minutes because it’s the same line with or without the reservation. So what’s the point? Last time I came the hotel guests have a special line to get into the park for early access. This time, again, one big long line for everyone, 45 minutes before the park was open. We spent about 20 minutes in that line with everyone who wasn’t suppose to be there. The security guard was rude too. I walked up to ask a question and he treated me like I was about to run in there and skip the line. I had my 6 y.o with me, so it’s not like I can run very far. Overall, I feel that we paid a premium for almost nothing. "

"Bathroom fan tooooo loud "

"Bullet proof glass at check in. Shady people paying cash for rooms. Shower was a weird capsule from the 80's"

"Great location close by downtown La Jolla and the Del Mar area. Would definitely recommend and will be back."
