Very nice, revamped area
Really enjoyed this for a business conference. SO close to Seaport Village, 10 minutes from Sea World. Better than average gym, cool rooftop pool and firepits. 40th-floor bar was nice and the food at the conference was good. The area was much improved over what I remember for San Diego (5-10 years ago) and there were a lot of people out running and enjoying the area. The hotel is dog friendly. Lots of good places to sit and have mini-meetings, and seemed like lots of good dinner/breakfast places in Seaport Village. As a side note, my family came down the last night and some of the casual dining places in Seaport Village are very pricey (too high for the quality) BUT the carousel is a good deal, open late, and gives kids things to do. A fair amount of places to walk/jog in the area.
