This hotel was really the best in Mission Beach. Julia, the manager, knows the guests by first name, insures that your stay is 100% perfect. The automated check in system is really on top of your stay as well. It is walking distance to Mission Bay Sports Center where jet skis can be rented and your stay gets comped bikes from Cheap Rentals right next door. The entire place is brand new and very hip in its style. This is a true boutique hotel right in the center of all things San Diego.
