The staff was the highlight of the stay. Helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, eager to accommodate my needs. Though the property is somewhat dated, it has been well maintained. The pool area is oasis like with lots of natural vegetation and trees that mimics a cozy resort. The proximity to the airport, downtown, beaches, zoo, Sea World, Fashion Mall, and Scripps Mercy Hospital where my husband was for a week was superb. Nothing more than 10-15 minutes, except th beaches which were a little further.
