"The rooms are clean enough. The staff are friendly enough. The site was clean enough. The parking lot was surprisingly adequate for a one-way passage. (entry on one end, locked gate closed on the other end.) The location suited its purpose. Nothing spectacular about it."

"My favorite place to stay in San Diego. It's right in the heart of Pacific Beach, restaurants within walking distance and other attractions, such as Belmont Park, are a short drive away. And by far, the access to the bay is my favorite aspect of this hotel. I will spend many, many hours during my vacation on the beach here. I have been going to the Catamaran since I was a child and I will be coming back for years to come."

The pool was the favorite part for the kids. Very close to everything like zoo and sea world. Parks near by and of course the beach. Overall a great time here."
