Would not go back!
My wife and I stayed at this "resort" for a conference in San Diego last week. We will not return. The conference listed this as a conference hotel and we thought it would be a good location. Not. Upon arrival and check in we were asked to sign an agreement that if we checked out early we would agree to pay $50 per night in penalty fees. I have never been asked to do this before. I know why they do it. There property is so bad, everyone would leave early and go somewhere else if they did not have this hook in you.
We stayed for 5 nights and were not happy. We stayed in the "low rise" old part of the complex. The name implies this is a resort. I am not sure what qualifies as a resort, but the small pool and just warm hot tub, located 200 yards from our room do not qualify as a resort to me. 
The hallways and rooms are musty smelling. The air conditioner was not on when we arrived and it took 24 hours for the room to cool down. The air conditioner was on high for the entire 5 day stay and the room, while cool, was never cold. The room carpets were soiled in spots and the room is old and in need of a makeover. The room decorations were out of the 70's. The bed was as hard as a piece of plywood. The bathroom was small with little sink counter space. Parking is an additional charge per day. I could go on, but you get the idea. 
The best part of the hotel is the grounds. As this is an old hotel the grounds are very well taken care of with beautiful trees, flowers and ground cover.
This hotel is located on the "Hotel Circle" area of Old Town and there are MANY other hotels in the area. A better location for the same price, or less, are available.
