Completely out of date and leaks! We had our two day stay interrupted by rain coming down in our room. The owner didn't seem to care and gave us no credit. She stood there in the middle of the hallway between the lobby (hardly one at all) and the hall to the bar with water pouring down around her! We ended up going home at 5 am (after the power had been off and the bucket of water was filling up). It is run down and appears the owners do not have the money to keep it up. We will never return and would not recommend this place to anyone. The restaurant, on the other hand was good, we liked the food and the service was great. The pictures on their website are deceiving. It is by no means a resort.

Great mineral waters, very good restaurant, funky bar scene, 1960s retro rooms, I stay here whenever I'm anywhere near San Diego, it is a throwback and lots of fun.

Living in San Diego we go out to this hotel several times a year. I'll have to say that we were a little disappointed at how run down this place has become. We stopped in to swim in the pool and jacuzzi. We got several beverages from the bar but were turned off with the smokers inside and a big smelly dog sitting next to the bar. The pool area is in need of some serious maintenance. The flowers and garden areas are overgrown with weeds and nothing has been swept in a long time. We really like this place but are afraid it is going downhill fast and might be on the verge of closing. Too bad for it was a great place.

the smokers have got to go. This place is an attraction for the peace, the water, the sounds, the sun and shadows. So its a VERY BIG MINUS to have unkempt folks sitting IN the bar smoking, which blows into the hotel desk (read Welcome) area. Most nights, you will have to go looking for the clerk to take your money, and having to filter through cigar and cigarette smoke to find an employee is, at least, discouraging. Ive been driving out to the spa for over 10 years, and the place is barely kept up. Seems in this past year the jukebox blasting through the wall into the hot tub area is worse than ever. Sad, but its making me reconsider. Dam if it werent so lovely and didnt have such special water it'd make the decision that much easier. Rich.
