Hotel is in a great location. Close to the Beach and the Bay. Not far from the Airport, Zoo, La Jolla or even downtown. Room and the grounds were clean and well kept. Pool and Hot tub were nice. We were just there so some amenities are not available in the off season, but still plenty to in San Diego. We had a great stay.

Horrible stay! We called and asked for the quietest room possible. When we arrived at 4 to check in we reiterated our request to a woman (I think her name is Joanne). We explained that my mom was in the hospital and we would appreciate it if we could be in the quietest possible and we didn't need to check in immediately if they were cleaning a quieter room. She was so rude and basically said we get what we get. She didn’t even say she would see if there was anything she could do or even say she was sorry we were in this position. Basically it was a tough sh*t. The room we were given was on the first floor of the tower. Room 152. We had to listen to people screaming by the elevator all night. We were woken up in the middle of the night & at 2 & 3am. If we were even 3 doors away from the elevator it would have helped. Having stayed here several times in the past we know that there are quieter rooms in the same room class. We totally understand that there were no rooms available in the next room class up which we would have happily paid for but to be honest the way she acted during check in made it feel like she deliberately put us in the loudest possible location. Luckily we had to get up very early but other potential customers should know that the leaf blowers start at 7am, the staff talk loudly & car alarms go off occasionally. The hotel should place someone at the entrance of the tower to remind guests & staff to keep their voices at a normal level.

The room was clean. The staff was very courteous when I checked in however, when I checked out the person at the counter was not that friendly. We had a great dinner at Oceana with a fantastic waiter. My husband and I really enjoyed the grounds and we had a very nice experience getting a couples massage at the spa. I do think that the restaurant should have done a better job of staffing because it was a very busy weekend and they didn’t seem to have very much staff and the service was kind of slow.

The room was clean and well maintained. It was not overstated with the tropical theme and in my opinion just right. Bed was comfortable. Housekeeping was great. The cleanliness and maintenance of the bathroom was great (many hotels struggle with this). Finally we were upgraded to a room with a nice view which was perfect for our "special occasion" trip. The staff was always friendly and smiling which is a tribute to your hotels culture. Well Done!

My husband and I went for our “baby moon” and we absolutely loved our stay! Before we even checked in, the manager Jayne reached out to me to see if we needed any additional accommodations. They also upgraded our room to a suite on the 10th floor! I feel like we were treated so well! Being nearly 7 months pregnant, my only request was a comfy king sized bed, and the beds were so great! Everyone was so nice. The bar and food were fabulous! Every night my husband and I sat on the beach chairs looking out to the bay and watched the sun go down. It was so lovely to stay here! The only thing is that the rooms are a bit dated, but that didn’t bother us one bit. Everything worked and honestly, it gave a good homey, beach-y vibe. I loved having a fridge and freezer for our food along with a microwave. I absolutely plan on coming back! This place is great for kids as well! Also highly recommend the Mexican food place right next door! Definitely the best I’ve ever had

We had a fantastic experience at the Catamaran Resort. The dated rooms will need a facelift to take them to the top tier, but the people were fantastic, and the location puts you right in the middle of the best parts of Mission and Pacific Beach. My wife and I look forward to our next stay at Catamaran and partying on Pacific Beach.
