Hotel Details

Location

Directly opposite San Diego Harbor's sport fishing and boating basin, this hotel is about 2 km from the airport and offers easy freeway access.
The hotel sits on Harbor Drive in Point Loma, approximately 2 minutes by car or 2 km from San Diego International Airport. The nearest beach is 5-10 km away. The San Diego Zoo is about 8 km and SeaWorld about 10 minutes by car. Several restaurants are within walking distance, including Point Loma Cafe, Point Loma Seafoods, and McDonald's, all about 0.3-0.5 km away. There is a bus stop near the hotel, but it is not on the San Diego Trolley line. A car or ride-share service is the most practical way to reach city-center attractions, Balboa Park, the Gaslamp District, and Coronado.

Accommodation

Spacious guest rooms with new triple-sheeted mattresses, private balconies, mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker.
Rooms are available with one king or two queen beds, offering city, harbor, pool, or parking-lot views. All rooms include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, ironing facilities, a hair dryer, and a direct-dial telephone. The sink is separate from the shower, tub, and toilet. Some rooms are designated as smoking or non-smoking-confirm your preference when booking. The King Harbor View room is the only room type that can accommodate a rollaway bed. The property shows signs of age; rooms may feel dated or worn, though they are consistently cleaned. Noise from street traffic and early-morning aircraft is audible in some rooms, particularly those on lower floors or facing the road. Upper-floor rooms away from the elevator are quieter.

Dining

A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served daily with both hot and cold options.
Breakfast is included in the room rate and currently operates as a limited buffet with hot items (rotating daily menu), pastries, fruit, yogurt, cereal, coffee, and juice. Breakfast can be taken in the dining room, to the room, or outside by the pool. The breakfast room is small, with about 16 tables, and can become crowded during peak hours. The hotel does not have a restaurant, bar, or room service, but there are several dining options within walking distance, including seafood, Mexican, and fast-food choices. A vending machine with drinks and snacks is available on site.

Wellness and Leisure

Heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, open from 10 AM to 10 PM.
The heated outdoor pool and hot tub are available for use. Pool hours are 10 AM to 10 PM. Towels are provided. The pool area has outdoor seating, and breakfast can be taken there in good weather. There is no spa or wellness center on the property. For additional activities, the hotel is situated opposite the harbor where sport fishing, leisure boating, and whale watching excursions are available. Bicycle rental, diving, fishing, golf (within 3 km), hiking, snorkeling, and windsurfing are options in the area.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, free on-site parking, 24-hour front desk, coin-operated laundry, and a business center.
Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Free private parking is available on site with no reservation needed; parking for up to 7 nights is included per reservation, with a $5 per night charge for any additional nights. The parking garage has a lower covered level and an open upper level. A shuttle service to the cruise terminal is free, and sign-up is available at check-in (the day before departure is required). The hotel does not offer an airport shuttle, nor a shuttle to attractions or the Old Town station. A 24-hour front desk provides fax/photocopying services, car hire assistance, a safety deposit box (at the front desk), and vending machines. Coin-operated laundry machines are available on site. The property has an elevator and features accessible parking and ADA-accessible rooms on request.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Choose a higher floor room for better harbor views and less noise from the street.

  • 02

    Use the free shuttle to the cruise terminal; sign up at check-in the day before.

  • 03

    Plan on using a car or ride-share for getting around - the hotel is not on the trolley route and has no airport shuttle.

  • 04

    Request a room away from the elevator and the main road if you are a light sleeper.
