We had access to the entire first floor of a beautifully decorated historical home that will be 100 years old next year. The Mission Hills neighborhood was close to everything we wanted and needed -- shopping, parks, dining, beaches. But I must say my favorite part was chatting with Joan Crone during breakfast. A fascinating woman with an artist's love for all things simple and beautiful. Her art pieces on "plenty" and "small" challenged me to examine my definition of happiness. Was not expecting a spiritual connection on the trip, but happy to have found it. Thank you Joan.

We had a memorable stay at Crone's Cobblestone Cottage, built in the American Craftsman style and…read morelovingly furnished and maintained by the proprietor, Joan Crone. Shaded by a sprawling pepper tree and sheltered by ranks of ferns, it is an oasis, complete with a porch swing and meditation garden, in an already quiet neighborhood. The Mission Hills business district is an easy ten-minute walk away, along streets with more nicely kept-up bungalows. From there, you can easily bus to Balboa Park and the Zoo in a half-hour or - with Joan's guidance - make a fun sightseeing trek down the hillside to the trolley and on the downtown and the harbor. At the end of the day, there are a number of very satisfying restaurants where you can relax and eat well before the peaceful walk home. Joan was very respectful of our privacy and our touristic initiatives. We, on the other hand, started conversations over breakfast that we would only reluctantly break off to make our way to the day's objective. Whether it involved geographical points of interest as a long-time San Diego resident, the arts and photography -- her area of training, Craftsman architecture and design or recent books we've read, there was never a dull moment. She encouraged us to look over books from her extensive library, including the charming "Little Free Library" built in the image of the Cottage and located right outside. We wholeheartedly recommend Crone's Cobblestone Cottage as a place to stay while visiting San Diego!

I like the mid-century vibes that permeate the Pearl Hotel, in Point Loma. The hotel is located…read moreright in the heart of the famous Portuguese community of Point Loma. Parking can be a challenge, and there are about five or six parking places in the front off of Rosecrans Street, including one marked Handicapped parking place directly by the front entrance door. The rooms extend in a U-shape surrounding the pool and garden area. The hotel's restaurant, the PonyBar, is also located by the pool in the courtyard. It can get a little noisy in the hotel with a number of Bachelorette parties taking place. Try to book one of the larger rooms, which are nicer. The hotel is within walking distance to the picturesque Saint Agnes Roman Catholic Church, if you are staying over on a Sunday and want to attend Mass. They also offer a Mass on Saturday afternoon,

My experience at this lodge was mixed, but overall, I had a positive stay. I enjoyed the rooms…read more They were clean, the AC worked well, and the room was comfortable. I also liked that the lodge was attached to a small shopping center, which made it convenient to grab food late at night with several options nearby. The customer service was okay. The staff weren't the friendliest, but overall, I didn't have any major issues. I had requested a crib when making my booking, but apparently, the request was never received. If you need one, I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm. We were still able to get a crib, but we had to wait for it to be delivered later that night. As for breakfast, it's definitely one of the more basic continental breakfasts I've had. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, and various breads, along with the usual basics. It was okay at best, but it's always nice to have breakfast included, so I can't complain too much. Another plus was the free parking. Overall, the stay was decent and the pricing was reasonable. We chose this lodge because it was a more affordable option for staying somewhat close to San Diego. I would recommend it if you're looking for a clean and affordable place to stay. It's a great option if you mainly need a comfortable place to sleep while exploring the area.

I grew up in San Diego and have been to Old Town Historic District MANY times, but this was our first seeing the inside of the hotel. It reminded me of a hotel you see at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ. The Cosmopolitan Hotel was built in 1827. They offer Cosmo Happy Hour in their outdoor garden patio Wednesday -Saturday from 4pm-6:30pm (walk-ins only) no reservations. The garden is also available for wedding venues. The Cosmopolitan hotel has Saturday Brunch from 10am-2pm. If interested in taking an old vintage photography session, you would have to book it through Catherinesegura.com and select the size photo session of interest. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

After strolling through Old Town, my son wanted to check out the Cosmopolitan Hotel. We decided it…read morewould be a great place to stop for a quick shareable bite before heading home. My daughter found us seats under the pergola covered in lovely greenery. It's counter service, so you order at the bar and they give you a number for your table. There were two ladies working behind the bar area, but it took a while before we were acknowledged. We finally placed our order of a pretzel, truffle fries and chicken bacon flatbread. Our food also took a good while to come out. There was only one server and two other occupied tables. While we waited, there was a man playing acoustic guitar, which was a nice touch and added to the atmosphere. The food was pretty tasty. We especially like the chicken and bacon flatbread. Since we were sharing everything, we would have appreciated some plates, but none were provided so we ended up using our napkins as plates. My daughter did make a valid observation about the pretzel: "such a giant pretzel for them to only give us one tiny cheese and nothing else, not even mustard". Unfortunately, the one thing that really spoiled the experience for me was when what appeared to be a termite fell onto our table and landed right on the corner of my flatbread. A few moments later, another one fell onto the table. At this point my son announced, "it's raining termites". Needless to say, this definitely ruined our appetite. I honestly regret not taking a picture because I was just so thrown off when it happened. Even though the setting was lovely, the music was a nice touch and the food was tasty, the slow service, lack of plates and falling termites, the experience fell short.

Seriously, what is not to like about this place?! Someone asked me what my favorite part of my…read morestay was and I really couldn't name just one - there are so many things i like to do here! First off, I had no idea there were 2 hotels at Viejas and honestly love the Willows Hotel & Spa, plus it's a 21+. When you walk in, it feels like a mini Vegas hotel. You go upstairs to the front desk and service was really great, from the check in process to the luggage assistance. But it's really when you get up to the room that is impressive; probably one of the nicer rooms that I've stayed in which a nice open area with a mini bar, desk and living room. The bedroom is in a separate room and much to my surprise, there was a special birthday setup on the bed for me (loved it!). And can't forget the extra large shower with rainfall faucet and all the amenities you would need. On to the spa. Amazing. While it's on the smaller side I had a great experience, from the attentive staff that made me feel welcomed to the massage and near-private hot tub/sauna/steam room and lovely pool area. It's adjacent to the regular hotel pool that you also have access to as well. If you get a service you can use the amenities all day with in and out privileges, such a nice relaxing day if you ask me. So while I'm limiting my review to the hotel and spa, the Viejas property has so much to do. The casino is a short walk from the hotel along with a variety of restaurants. The outlet mall is literally across the street and has a bingo hall and bowling and also had a seasonal skating rink. The golf course is also a drive down the road. In conclusion, I had a 5 star experience. I was sad to check out and I will be back for another stay!

I really don't understand why a person with that attitude is in this type of position and in the hospitality field. I tried giving it a second chance because the rest of the staff is friendly and accommodating but after this recent experience I will never come back and will make sure to tell all my friends and family to stay away.

Very run down and not at all like the photos…read more Unfortunately, our stay at Ocean Villa Inn was extremely disappointing. Our room looked nothing like the photos online and was very run down. There were four of us and only two towels were provided, and one of those towels, which was supposed to be white, was visibly brown. The shower was in particularly poor condition and honestly disgusting. The beds were also very uncomfortable, with extremely thin pillows, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. The air conditioner was very old and heavily rusted, including sharp points that made it feel like it could be a safety hazard. We also had a concerning experience with the back gate that leads toward the beach. We had used it several times during our stay without a problem. The last time we went through it, the door came unhinged at the top and nearly fell on me before completely breaking. We left to go to the beach, and when we returned several hours later, there was a sign on the gate saying DO NOT OPEN and instructing guests to call the front desk. I called, but the phone just rang and rang with no answer. We ended up having to walk completely around the entire property to get back to our room. As we passed the lobby, we could actually see someone sitting at the computer, which made it even more frustrating that no one had answered the phone. We also used the dog wash station several times, and each time we had to unclog the drain ourselves because the water wasn't draining properly and we would otherwise be standing in stagnant water. Overall, the property needs significant maintenance and upkeep. I understand that this isn't a luxury hotel and wasn't expecting luxury, but there is a big difference between an older property and one that feels neglected and poorly maintained. Between the condition of the room, lack of towels, uncomfortable beds, rusted AC unit, clogged dog wash, and especially the broken gate and inability to reach the front desk, we were very disappointed with our stay. The property simply did not live up to how it is represented in the photos.
