    A little grimy (kind of expected that for the price) and noisy as it's on a busy street.

    Honestly, the sheets had a small burn hole, and the drapes had a large melted spot. I booked an ADA room with a king size bed. What I got was literally the tiniest room in the entire property with either a full xl or standard queen bed. When I tried to confirm my booking a week out from my stay, the phone number was forwarded to someone's cell phone that they never actually awnsered. I kept looking up different possible phone numbers for the property (through various 3rd party booking companies) and the only phone number that was actually awnsered belonged to their corporate office. The gentleman I spoke to begrudgingly confirmed the date of my stay. When I asked if my room was ADA compliant he stated that it was a standard room as their possible ADA rooms were already booked (despite me making the reservation a month before my stay). My disability makes stairs difficult for me on a good day so I asked if they could at least put me in a room on the first floor. So I guess that's probably why I got the smallest room despite paying additional for a larger room with a larger bed and a bathtub. Well, I did have a bathtub but it's was rigged so that it couldn't be filled. So when I had to bathe myself it was by taking a shower - the whole time being fearful that my legs would give out causing a fall. Thankfully I didn't fall. So those were the negatives.... now on to the positives. The property is in the perfect location, and it actually quite cute! Despite the hiccups, when we arrived the staff was pleasant and accommodating. The property was modern, stylish, and clean in a safe area. I'll definitely be booking again, but next time I'll be book8ng with the property directly and requesting a specific room number, so that I'm not paying extra for the smallest room. Again, it was a good visit overall and the positives definitely out weighed the negatives.

    The location is 2 minutes from the beach, 10 minutes from downtown, and 10 minutes away from sea world.

    The bedroom felt stuffy as if there was no air circulating moist out. The AC seemed to throw chunks of what looked like dirt out at some points and there was no full length mirror which is very much needed on a trip.

    The staff was very kind and made checking in super easy, location was good too right across a good coffee spot and close to alot.

    The first room number & key card given was to a room someone else was already occupying. Luckily nobody was in the room when I opened the door! Also, I had to drive down the street to a different location to check in & get key card.

    1. Cheapest price I could find in San Diego for 4 adults & 2 children. 2. Close to airport.

    Cleanliness was a bit questionable, but no major concerns. During booking, we were able to reserve and received confirmation for a room to sleep 3 adults & 2 kids. However, we were assigned a room with 2 queen beds and 3 towels. Fortunately, my kids are small enough, we were able to squeeze and fit everyone in beds. And, we could’ve easily asked for more towels. Instead, we had the little ones share. It was fine.

    Love the location. So close to all our favorite spots. Minutes up the road from our favorite neighborhood beach, Kellogg’s. It’s the perfect spot for families just outside of the harbor and across from Shelter Island. You definitely get what you pay for in terms of comfort, amenities, and aesthetics. However, it was a steal of a deal and perfect for our family’s bare-bones needs—a place to shower and sleep.

    They tried to cancel our booking about a week before our arrival. They told us the hotel was overbooked but the multiple websites were still taking reservations for Hotel Aqua Mar. I had to call multiple people to resolve this issue.

    We liked the location as it was close to our activities.

    The rooms definitely had a "smell". Had to have the room door and windows open for about an hour to air out. Seems they do long term stays? There were guests who had their laundry and shoes hung out and laid in the parking lot to dry. Other guests sitting outside in parking lot in lawn chairs drinking.

    Room was clean. Quiet even though we were on a corner lot. Price was affordable. The air worked very well which was appreciated since it was warm out.

    Room too small, no closet, no hooks at least to hang clothes that were sitting on my luggage and making obstacle course, for 18 rooms I think can afford shelves, no dresser room too small, iron everything basically you get, from other hotels, the thing that is surprising shock room too small!! Less for more, more for less, get what you pay for and I get the impression they know!!! Location not bad at all driving distances very short, tv programming+++, bed comfortable and bedding ok, room is in good condition the one I stayed at least, this is about the third hotel I have stayed where management is India dessent running less for more, I promise that truth not racism but common pattern attitude more for less , less for more, cutting amenities, this is the first hotel I experienced a too small room walking around obstacle clothes piled up not table or shelves at least hook, something to take care of clothes or store clothes!!!

    Very broad channels to watch movies, bed and pillows restful accomodations, location not too bad, early check in and late check in the water pressure in shower
