Legacy Resort Hotel & Spa
Meh. Little things that were off. The air conditioning was blowing in my face all night but we had to have it on because there were no windows to at least crack open. The water dispenser in the gym was a trickle and the gym had no weights. The room was spacious which was a plus but there was no emphasis ...

Outdoor pool was nice and warm. Very spacious and 9ft at the deepest point. Great for families.

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Diego - Mission Valley
Our stay was overall very nice. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and they brought us extra towels as requested. The only thing that I feel could’ve been improved was the TV, as it felt very outdated and clunky.
