My girlfiend spotted a flyer about CBTSL, and looked it up on the internet. The photos on the website looked promising and she was looking for something special for our 1st anniversary. She booked a visit a month in advance. The room was lovely, even though a train would come by at least 15 times a day and during the... more

We stayed at the Cardiff by the Sea Lodge for a weekend with some friends. It is a wonderful little hotel. Its walking distance to restuarnats, shops and the beach. Our room was clean and well kept, and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was good- If you stay at this hotel, be sure to visit the rooftop- amazing... more

The awesome thing about this hotel is that if you get the right room you can see the ocean when you open the drapes in the morning. Aside from that, I really can't say much that's good about it. My "ocean and garden view" room was more like a "walkway next to the street and strain to see blue water"... more

It is more like visiting a friend;s home then being in a Hotel. They have a wonderful roof garden where you can watch the sunsets, and a hot top. The grounds are well kept with... more

My husband and I chose to stay at this hotel for our honeymoon, not knowing anything about San Diego or its outlaying areas and were very impressed. We chose a less expensive room but were generously upgraded when we arrived, being allowed to choose from a variety of rooms. We chose to stay in the Country French room. I loved... more

The door to the toilet was supposed to have cafe doors...but one was missing. The ceiling in the room was COVERED with soot from the fireplace as... more
