Customer service is always top knotch here. Have used them for years, often call or walk in just for advice on headsets or other supplies. Very lucky to have had this store to turn to down through the years. Can't count the times I've walked in with a dodgy headset and they've sent if off for me or even once or twice the desk man repaired it himself (user error, had wrong settings on). Have even been taught how to care for my icom ac-24 correctly and thanks to that, I rarely ever need to charge it. This place is a well oiled machine. The people working here are pilot people and know their stuff. Well done MGoldens! My A-20s just gave out in the right ear and I know who I will be calling Monday lol

We stayed here over a weekend for a wedding and over all, had a good experience at the hotel. The…read morestaff were kind at check in and readily accommodated my request for a late check out. The rooms had clearly been recently renovated; our room was spacious, with plenty of room in both the bedroom and the bathroom in terms of counter space/storage. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a balcony. My only two complaints about the hotel are that the building's HVAC seemed overwhelmed by the heat - outside in the hallways was muggy and the interior of our room never got below 71 degrees. Additionally, they did not do a good job of providing information about where pools/amenities/etc are located at check in - if you are going to charge a resort fee, I expect someone to at least tell me what is included and where/how to access it. Overall, a good stay in San Diego and up to the standard expected.

It had been a while since we had visited this property and it has significantly changed. Last time…read morewe were here, it was before the renovations. They have valet parking and have EV chargers. With the renovations once you walk into the right you have the lobby and it's a big open space. We decided to book one of the renovated rooms since we wanted to see how they came out. The renovated rooms are in a separate tower so you have to walk around. I remember from last time there used to be a place that has seafood as the restaurant now you have a brewery. They also have a market like most hotels just beware that the prices are very high. They have a bar that plays music. I'm going to get over the weekends at night. They have two pools the main pool is right when you go outside from the main entrance. If you keep walking to the right, you will eventually get to the second pool which is by the New room rooms. The renovated rooms look nicer and newer with keeping the same beach vibe aesthetic. We had a beautiful view out of a balcony that had two chairs and a small table. We had a clear view to the Marina and the yoga classes in the morning. The restroom was on the smaller side, but it had everything you needed. The room itself was comfortable and enough. Overall, we would stay at this property again because of the location and convenience of having so many things on site. San Diego Diego has a parking issue and getting an Uber from here is easy and not expensive. The staff was super friendly and offered us more water when we asked for some bottled water. They also have refilling water stations at the gym and in other areas. The gym is surprisingly big and has everything you need.

**Update** Following my recent experience with First Flight, I was contacted by Patrick, who took…read morethe time to address my concerns and ensure a positive resolution. We successfully completed my Biannual Flight Review, during which I gained valuable insights and significantly improved my understanding of aviation communications. Patrick demonstrated a high level of expertise and professionalism throughout the flight. I look forward to flying with him again soon to refine my instrument flying skills. I would like to begin by stating that my experience with First Flight two and a half years ago was excellent. I completed a biannual flight review at the time and found both the customer service and aircraft to be outstanding. My instructor, Ross, was professional, knowledgeable, and created a positive learning environment. Over the following two years, I rented aircraft from First Flight without issue and regularly recommended the organization to many of my colleagues based on those positive experiences. Unfortunately, my most recent visit did not meet the same standard. Three and half weeks ago, I scheduled a biannual flight review with an instructor named Patrick, booking the appointment at the front desk in advance. I arrived on the day of the review 15 minutes early to ensure punctuality, only to find that the instructor was still in the air with another student. I was informed by the front desk attendant that he would be landing shortly and also learned that supposedly I wasn't on the schedule. Forty-five minutes later, the instructor returned and was notified of my presence and scheduled appointment. After waiting an hour, we began the ground portion of the flight review. Due to the schedule shift, we were limited in aircraft availability and could only log 0.6 hours of flight time--short of the minimum one hour required to complete a flight review. Compounding the issue, I experienced problems with my headset and had difficulty hearing both ATC and the instructor. Although I had another headset available, time constraints prevented a swap. To those currently training or flying at First Flight and having positive experiences, I genuinely hope that continues. I view this situation as an unfortunate anomaly and not reflective of the entire organization. As a strong supporter of small, family-owned FBOs like First Flight, I believe they are essential to the health and growth of General Aviation. I want to see First Flight succeed and continue to serve the aviation community well.
