1. The hotel has a small outdoor pool which is heated and my wife and son swam in it whilst i used the Gym, which albeit small was enough for some morning exercise, it has a selection of free weights, 2 running machines and 2 cycling machines if my memory serves me correctly.

2. My partner and I spent the last five days of an 18-day Californian trip in San Diego and had looked forward to a rest with plenty of time relaxing by the pool.

9. Not much in the way of a fitness center & the pool is nothing to write home about either.

10. The second downside was the pool, very small and next to the highway so not that relaxing but I really am picking at straws here.
