How it rates * *

New and noteworthy: A $65-million renovation has added an eco spa, new pools and slides and pleasantly freshened room décor, landscaping and a restaurant-lounge.

The stay: A big, corporate hotel offers the latest resort must-haves for business and leisure travelers.

The scene: Mostly young families launching mini vacations, often to SeaWorld, from the hotel's home base.

Deal maker: Great new slides at the renovated pool, nice bay views.

Deal breaker: You'll be heading off-site for meals, entertainment and beach sports given the limited access and options at the hotel.

Stats: 1441 Quivira Road, San Diego; (619) 224-1234, www.hyatt.com.

Rates: Rooms begin at $399, suites at $525.

Green touches: Pale. The hotel employs eco-conscious spa products, and an in-room notecard advises that linens may not be replaced daily.

Rating is based on the room, service, ambience and overall experience with price taken into account in relation to quality.

Where am I?

Should we take offense, order a drink, or what? That depends, of course, on where you think these words turned up.
