If you want to immerse yourself in San Diego beach culture, this is THE place. We were lulled to sleep each night with the sounds of the surf, watched squads of pelicans flying by the windows at eye level with us being on the 8th floor and enjoyed spectacular Pacific sunsets through the floor to ceiling windows. The beach in front of the building is great cooling off, for wading and boogie boarding with shallow, gentle surf. The beds were comfortable and the Jacuzzi tub in the second bedroom was a bonus my daughter enjoyed. It is a cool spot!
