10/10 Excellent
"We stayed at the Homewood Suites-Liberty Station for 8 nights with our 2 kids (ages 6 & 9), and everyone had the best time! Breakfast was fresh, varied and plentiful, and the kids loved the basketball court, cornhole and pool. Staff were consistently kind and helpful whenever we needed anything--ice for a minor injury, tracking down a lost item, storing luggage after checkout, a shuttle ride for our redeye flight, etc. The location is beautiful, right on a quiet channel with kayak and paddleboard rentals (hotel guests get a discount!). We also loved checking out the Liberty Station restaurants and public market which are within easy walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in San Diego, and the Homewood Suites was a great home base for our stay. Highly recommended!"
