It was during xmas season, so it was crazy busy. Lot of so called influencers taking pics all over the place, which was annoying. Couldn't check in til after 4pm, but staff were all friendly and the place was beautifully decorated. Rooms are good size with an incredible mini-bar, never seen one like it. Would likely stay again, we are local so don't stay in hotels in SD much.

A truly unique experience. I can’t get over how reasonable the in room bar options are priced and how many options there are. Like no other hotel anywhere. The coolest fitness center ever. Super friendly and great food, great portions and great prices. Third time I’ve stayed there. It gets better every time.
