CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL MISSION VALLEY BY IHG, San Diego

“I truly enjoyed the excellent hot tub, which is private and away from the pool area. It was a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The towels provided were dry and thick, and the 4-foot depth made it really inviting. I appreciated having the space to relax and soak in the warmth—definitely a highlight of my stay.” view full review

“The breakfast buffet was a good surprise! It opened at 6 a.m. and offered a great variety, including cooked oatmeal, scrambled eggs, bacon, and a selection of pastries. I loved that after being seated, the hostess brought a carafe of hot coffee and asked if I wanted juice, making the experience feel welcoming and indulgent.” view full review

“My room included fantastic amenities like a Keurig coffee maker and real mugs, which I appreciated. There was also a microwave and refrigerator, making my stay even more convenient. Even though it could use some upgrades, I found the room, particularly after a long day, to be a pleasant place to return to.” view full review

“I had the chance to dine at the on-site restaurant, and while the selection was modest, it provided a good meal after a long day of activities. Additionally, there’s a sushi bar that I didn’t have time to visit, which added to the variety of dining choices available.” view full review
