I did not appreciate that I reserved and paid for a "family" room that was supposed to be larger but then got into a regular 2 queen room.

Pool and buffet breakfast were both a great addition. Suited our family of 4 for a 2 night stay just outside of Napa city centre.

Awful and loud construction. I couldn't sleep. Noise was so loud it woke me up at 6am on a Saturday. Had to check out at 9am. I booked a room for my anniversary so that we can be away from our kids and get rest. I was so tired on the way home.

PROS: Nice budget hotel. Most importantly it was clean, staff was friendly. Walking distance to bay & restaurants. Close to San Diego zoo. CONS: construction starts at 7 am & it’s loud. The city tram runs by & is also loud. The roll away bed is not comfortable. My toddler didn’t complain but an adult probably wouldn’t be able to walk after sleeping on that. Paying for parking is also a joke. It made me nervous that parking was first come first serve since we were driving in from out of state. Overall, I’d stay here again. It would be nicer stay when construction is done. I was pleased with the cleanliness & that’s always #1 in my book. It’s not a luxury hotel, but staff is very nice & it was a nice budget friendly hotel.

Great location for a trip with the family. Walking distance to Little Italy, the boardwalk, and easy access to the zoo. Would stay here again.

Good: Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The location was excellent for our planned activities (very close to the zoo). The waterfront (USS Midway, etc) is walkable. Not so good: Air conditioning did not really work so the room was too warm. The tap water was gross. Overall: Excellent location and comfortable stay. Would recommend.
