Custom catering options available for meetings and events

Multiple dining options within 1640.4 ft including Cafe Luna, Chipotle, and Chick-fil-A

Outdoor recreational facilities include a barbecue area and picnic space

Nearby water activities include kayaking and snorkeling

Cons

25 miles from San Diego International Airport

No on-site restaurant

“The full kitchens in every suite stand out, making longer stays much easier, and social events foster a real community feel. I noticed it's close to attractions like the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, but the on-site tennis and basketball courts mean you don't even have to leave for recreation. It struck me as a practical choice for families needing space and flexibility.”
