My family had an excellent summer vacation while staying here. The kitchenette was very useful and the location was very good for our Legoland & San Diego trips. The staff was excellent and made us feel welcome throughout our entire stay. My only issue is how uncomfortable the pull out sofa was. This was for my children. Next time we will get two beds. This was a great area and look forward to visiting again.

Frint desk staff was fantastic! Courteous, friendly and helpful! We also appreciated the breakfast. However, the room was shabby, carpet was dirty, and overall, the facility is in need of a refresh. For that reason, we would not plan to stay again anytime soon.
