Hotel: Paradise Point Resort & Spa
City: San Diego, CA
Chain: No detectable chain involved.
Property: Paradise Point Hotel & Spa
Address: 1404 West Vacation Road, San Diego, CA 92109
Phone Number: 858-274-4630
Check Out: February 17, 2006
Resort property out a bit from San Diego proper. Near the Sea World area.
A resort - not a hotel - not convenient to the convention center and other downtown things. The property is not a high rise, but a collection of small bungalows that hold two or so units in each. Very spread out, the staff usually drove you around in golf carts.
Very pretty to walk around. All palm trees and tropical gardens. The rooms were very nice. Although looking at the brochure I obviously had a less desirable room, as I didn't have a view of anything except the back of another bungalow. But, the grounds were exceptionally lush for walking around and the weather was great while I was there in that "the weather is always great in San Diego" kind of way.
The grounds were crawling with wildlife at night munching on room service trays left out of the buildings (all the building open directly to the outside). Cats mostly, but a skunk at night left quite an impression (and fortunately nothing else).
Overall impression was that it was great to look at, but not as special as the room rate would have indicated.
