I really enjoyed our stay. We stayed at the freeway noise room and weren’t really bother by the noise. The ac covered all the car noise and we had a pleasant stay. There’s a lot of options of walking restaurants and markets close by. Price was unbeatable.

I’ve been staying at this hotel for years because I come to San Diego often for work. To be honest it was rough at first. However, the rooms and property are getting updated and the processes for parking, etc are running so much more smoothly. Further, the team is very helpful with anything you need.
